I constantly work on slow speed and close work. I love to ride and be out and about the town or on the highway but the areas I find harder are not the open road but rather the smaller spaces like car parks, etc. So I regularly take myself to the car park when it's quiet and practice my slow skills, stopping, circles, u-turns, serpentines, etc. 🏍️

For me, it would be my current bike which is a Kawasaki Versys 650. It's an adventure bike and I have sat on it all day/every day for 3 weeks and could have kept going for longer! I learned that as much as I LOVE the look and idea of a nice cruiser they just aren't comfortable for *me* at this stage of my life (post menopausal). I've owned a Suzuki Intruder 250 and a CF Moto 450 but they weren't as comfy as my Vera (Vera the Versys). For me it's about the positioning of my lady bits and backside along with my leg/hip position. I'm 173cm tall with long legs but a bung knee so need a fair bit of room. However, Vera is also so stable, has a nice amount of get-up and go without being blown around in the wind or passing trucks.
