Yeah...well, it sums up perfectly. On the very first day I got the free levels covered, all the helmets gained. But didn't start this R&D because I need it to have the lab 4 opening on Saturday/Friday evening.

On the handling front, careful with the bikes especially the things that struck me:

While doing the stunts, quick, mid or apex, be careful about landing. Since this is new, most of the time it gets you crashed/out of the track.

Extremely careful before entering a ramp. If you are not positioned straight wrt the ramp, there's every chance of wrecking on the ramp sides/legs/walls nearby. If not positioned correctly, do not enter the ramp, bypass it to avoid wrecks.

Judge the path before settling the wheelie, as supercharged on/just before a curve might get undesirable results.

If not feeling confident about the bikes, get to the tutorial first, to get the basics right, then the season 1(entirely free) & season 2 & 3(partially free). The 3rd season is about the duke, so it might be helpful for the R&D.

The duke is different compared to the gsx, so bear that in mind if you haven't tried the duke & instead only the gsx(to avoid surprises in the middle of the R&D).

Good luck to all.
