i thought it was easier on the tank, the biggest thing is just commiting to it. and i think it's easier not steering while your sitting backwards but maybe not for all people.

Be safe.. Tank is easiest, just keep it on 2 wheels

Re: Riding backwards

Yeah I learned on the tank too, it keeps your weight more forward. It seems more complicated but when your on the tank bring your feet up cross your legs and put them on the passenger seat for a switchback recliner. It keeps your weight more centered on the bike, incase your feet get nervous and ur stepin on the pegs you might steer in a direction you dont wanna go in.

Once ur straight ur straight. Good luck man!
