Sell that bike, take the MSF beginner's riding course, buy a small-displacement newbie-approved bike.

The MSF will teach you how to ride. We can give you a general idea over the internet, but we're more likely to make you hurt yourself then teach you anything.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

This is a joke, right? If you're serious, the bike you have is designed for motorcyclists with years of experience. they are made for track days and they happen to be street legal. Starting on one is a quick ticket to your SO cashing in on your life insurance.

I was thinking the same thing, this must be a joke. If you really think you are going to "learn" on a ZX7R then you are either a complete idiot, or so naive you are a danger to yourself and others. If you really don't know how to corner after supposedly riding a CR, just stop at the apex to the corner and push the bike untill the straight part is in front of you, then proceed...fool. :lol: And we "RIDE" motorcycles, putz's like you "DRIVE" cars...barely
