I spose what Im trying to say is .. that I would hope that once you have got your licence your are a conpetent rider regardless of the bike you are on.
Your licence represents the fact that you should know how to handle a bike .. not your bike .. but any bike of that class. Same with car licences. Sure you may feel more confident on yours .. you may know it a little better than a borrowed bike ..but your rudimentiary skills should be the same.
When I got my R class I was meant to do it on a 02 R1 ... that was the loaner the shop had for me .. unfortunately when we got there to pick it up the bike had been given out by the workshop. So it was either the 1700 or no licence for me ...
At the end of the day I do understand the fact that when your getting your licence your nervous and that being familiar with the bike your going to use can sometimes help .. however I dont think people should worry too much about it .. worry about knowing how bikes react .. understand braking and cornering .. road positioning .. dont worry about which bike you going to use on the day .. cause at the end of the day .. that shouldnt really matter.
