How bout getting a less expensive car and then get a friggin job and buy your own bike when you turn 18?
You'll appreciate it more if you have to work for it, and you may grow up with some understanding of the kind of real life that's not on MTV.
Generally you can't rent a motorcycle unless you have a credit card and a motorcycle endorsement.
IMO the best way to get your endorsement is to take the MSF course.

Some areas (at least in CA) have a motorcycle training course that supplies bikes to learn on and once you successfully complete the course you receive your license. I think the course is usually only a few days long. Then I would recommend getting a small bike like a 250 (unless you are a really big person, then you might need a 600) until you are comfortable on a motorcycle. There is not much power behind a 250, so it's pretty safe unless you actually have a death wish. Also, get a cheap used bike for your first one. Taking the safety course should help ease your family's mind, but other selling points are the good gas mileage and the relative inexpense of bikes compared with cars.

nicely, for my area, i think of a bike is a brilliant investment as long as you're keen to place the attempt and time into the activity. i'm purely sixteen, yet i've got been driving them provided that i became into 4. and that i nonetheless have lots to assessment. i'd recommend, in case you're nonetheless worried, beginning off with an Enduro. surely its a highway-felony airborne dirt and mud-bike. perhaps a TS125? Then circulate your way as much as a minimum of something like a Ducati or Kawasaki. Then in case you're into extra long-term journeys, a Harley Fatboy or highway drift. yet keep in mind, if something have been to take place in case you're on the bike, the worst achieveable factor you should do is be afraid to experience lower back. desire I helped!

Yeah. Get a job. Buy your own. How big is your sense of entitlement that you think your family should have to buy you transportation?
Man, take the bus and learn some humility.

Like Scooter said - take the MSF course.
Bring your parents along, so they can get a better understanding of your abilities and the safety procedures they teach.

sounds like your looking to die pretty soon. tell them to serve you up something else on your silver platter instead. we dont need kids like you out on the road who "can almost get a licence" and who are so desperate to hurry into such a big decision.

You can take a motorcycle safety course, but it is for people who already know how to ride.
