A question for the motorcycle riders of bnet

It's high time I become more self reliant in way of getting around - everyone I know in my age group is either learning to drive or [i]knows[/i] how. That said, I've a bit of a phobia when it comes to driving a car and although I've never ridden a motorcycle, for some reason I've always been convinced that would be easier for me to learn and in the long run better for me. So, my question to anyone that it may apply to is; how hard is it to learn how to ride a motorcycle if you've never rode one before? Any tips / suggestions on how to go about learning? If it matters, for frame of reference, I'm 23.

  • If your new to cars and bikes, and have your heart set on riding. Then may I suggest maybe for your first bike buy something with a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). These bikes are semi and sometimes fully automatic which could make things easier for you. Because instead of worrying about gears and the clutch, it means that you can concentrate on the hazards around you instead. After which you have gotten used to the roads and riding, then maybe switch over to learning the manual transmission. Though if your keen to really learn how to ride, go for the manual option. For when using the clutch probably you can do the cone weave more easily on the permits test, for it will always be able to turn more sharper.
