Christ. That does put things into perspective. Slightly worried by coming off having never rode a motorbike. Is it difficult at all? 125's aren't quick are they?

Ever ridden a bicycle? Exactly the same in terms of balance, in fact it's easier as you've got a motor generating the force to keep you stable.
Most will top out at between 60-70mph but any bike will only go as fast as you let it.

Haven't fallen off on my own accord. Mostly fallen off because people are stupid.

You might want to work on that then as most drivers are indeed stupid and half the challenge of being a biker is becoming a mind reader
