Welcome to OR buddy. I suggests you take the motorcycle safety course, great program for beginners. That R1s a hefty bike probly be pretty easy to rip 50ft wheelies here and there without expecting to do so , so be careful partner.
I go to Franklin and its nothing but papers every week. No tests just papers and presintation lol. Cscc is the way to go for ur 2 yr degree which turns into 3 years btw lol. Then think about franklin.
