I would recommend the investment in some training ...

... not that I don't think you can ride but stuff's moved on in the last few years. Riding practices and advice are different from say 20 years ago.

A bog standard CB 500 can probably do 0 - 60 in well under 5 secs and crack over 120 / 130mph. Even 15 years ago that was sports bike territory.

A one day refresher would be good idea.
