There was one guy that did fail in the class I was in, he lowsided on the same part of the test as snakes709 messed up.

Also this nonsense that a 600cc sportbike is a terrible starter bike is just ridiculous. As long as you respect the bike, a 600 will be just fine to begin with. fwiw I started on a 600 and am still here to tell the story.
This. My ZX6R is my first bike. I never riden a motorbike (besides being a passenger) before my course. Then it was just over 2 years after my course that i bought my bike. I took alot of time learning it and respecting it, knowing that it could get me into trouble. Never dumped it, never got into a situation that i couldnt handle.
