Here in PA they offer free motorcycle safety course and provide motorcycles for the course, They are 250's and most of them are Honda Shadows. These are good training cycles and are not very expensive. However, if this will be your first bike buy used and pay cash, get the experience of riding before moving up to bigger and more expensive bikes. I have had friends who bought big bikes like Goldwings and rode only a few times then selling them at a loss because they weren't ready for a big bike. Nothing wrong with starting small and working up to bigger later on. In fact the smaller bike will normally sell quicker when you are ready to move up, then use the money for your next bike. In my class, 5 people never even sat on a motorcycle before and graduated with no problems, you do need to get a motorcycle permit first before signing up for the safety course. The course takes you from starting and learning how to use brakes, clutch, and lights & horn to walking the bike and then to actually riding and stopping. Was alot of fun even for me as an experienced rider. I highly recommend it!!! Contact your local Christian Motorcyclist Association, you will find members who will help you learn and decide the best bike for you. You can Yahoo seach "Christian Motorcyclist Association".

I just hopped on a gsxr 750 and took off! I started out going in straight lines and in 1st gear. Then got my own dirt bike and started practicing turns and shifting gears and i'm good to go now!

The instructor takes you to a disused site where he watches and teaches you until you feel confident to ride on the road where he will follow you and talk to you through a radio fitted to the inside of your helmet.

It's like riding a bicycle. When you take your test the officer giving the test will follow you in a vehicle, and give you instructions by honking the horn for left or right turns.

Borrow a freinds bike so like that if you crash or dent it he will not be mad at you as much as you think unlike if you go out and buy a new one.
