Aha, but that's the great thing about having your own bike when learning - you can practise on it in between lessons with an instructor. There's no substitute for concentrated, regular practise to get confident doing U-turns, braking, etc - or even just to get the balance and feel of the bike.

Yes .. agreed ... I used to ride everyday before I got my lic (shadowed of course) .... but again thats time in the seat. It doesnt matter if that time is done on your bike or a hire CB250 ...
If you truely think that your should do your test on your bike then licences should be limited in the same way mitiary licences are.
You are "coded" for that type of vehicle and that one only.
For instance ... if I want to drive a Falcon .. I have to go do my famil on a Falcon .. including a practical drive and handling test.
If I then want to go drive a Landcrusier .. Id have to do the same for the Cruiser ...
That would mean you are taught how to handle a ZZR250 ... you may not ride anything else ... if you then want to ride a Aprilia 2 stroke .. well you have to do a whole new test as the bike is completely different.
If the basic principles of safe riding dont translate across bikes .. then your licence is worthless.
