Re: help cbr 400 aero side light
So then I gather it's an import. It was never fitted with a sidelight, therefore it should not be an MOT failure. Your tester is in the wrong. You only need a sidelight if the bike came out of the factory with one. Yours will have had running lights (twin element indicator bulbs). Take it to a proper bike MOT tester who knows his stuff, this guy obviously doesn't 
BTW, your username seems familiar.......

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
