Great advice from Munch – treat your second bike like it is your first bike, like you’re learning to ride for the first time again.
It’s natural to want to expand your horizons. Only you can tell if you’re ready. My first bike was an easy to ride GS500. Six months later, I bought my second bike – YZF600R, a sportbike, which turned out to be more difficult to ride than I expected. Building on top of what I learned on the GS500, I had to learn many new techniques to ride the YZF600R well. But that was exactly what I wanted – a new challenge, and new things to learn.
