Hey Jubis,
Cool. If they were in full A* black/white leathers and a white/blue Shoei, then that's me! Surprised I didn't see you - I always give a "nod" hello :-)
Just so you know, the P's test has you doing a left followed immediately by a right Uturn in a 5 m wide box (almost a figure 8), from a standing start. Not sure how long, but say 10m. Ignore the people who tell ya "two carparks wide" - that's BS, as most are about 5.5-6m... The CBR can do it with a couple of feet to spare - I can do it, not 100% of the time yet ;-) You really are at full lock both turns, with the bike leaned over a fair bit.
The S-curve weave is the other biggie - the lines are pretty close together, and the S is tight, and again it's from a standing start. The CBR can eat it up though, especially if ya can do the Uturns :-)
As a side note, out at Oaklands road the riding range is disused, but still accessible - Ya just have to do a quick bump over a curb hehe. It has all the tests etc painted out on the ground. It was a real eye opener when we went out there. Highly recommended, always people there as well.

In satelite view ya can clearly see the range. Enter via The Parade, bump the curb 50 m or so in, and ride around until ya find the range. Its the one furthest from the road - the front one I think is totally blocked off.
Not sure if I will use their bike...if I can do it on mine, then I'll use mine. The 30kph emergency stop will be easier with the ABS hahahaha. However, I agree that their bike would be p1ss easy compared...those little Suzi's are like sedate cows compared to the CBR LOL. I know of some dudes who did it on the scooters...I can't believe that ya can, but ya can...and then road home on their 600cc LOL. I reckon the instructor will give ya a little more cred for using your own bike.

I don't go into the city can't see the point for me. Maybe I should change my location. Done.
