Good day ma'am. do you think if you're good in driving a car would it be easier for you to drive a motorcycle? I am planning to buy a motorcycle.Thank you and more power.

@DROQUE215 Hello! If you're driving a manual car (and change gears using a clutch and gearstick), you'll have a great foundation for changing gears on a motorcycle. But motorcycles are a lot different to driving a car. There are so many more skills needed - and you're a lot more vulnerable. I really recommend doing a 3-day safety course which will immediately give you the skills you need to ride safely and confidently. Good luck - it's an exciting journey!

@2wheelsteve - LOL no, it was something going on with the mic - it happens again a little later on but quieter. But I have been known to produce some very impressive burps.... :-)

@styXv3ngeance Yep - you pegged me. :-) Been in the USA since 1998, so I've got some Yankee in my Aussie accent.

@rockon6191 G'day! Well you already have great skills from offroading, and with your experience I think you'd be smart not to start with a 250 street bike - you'll surely outgrow it too fast. My first bike was a VStar 650cc, and I outgrew that within the year, and bumped up to the 1100. The bigger they are the more stable at speed and less vibration you get, but they also get heavier. Of course a 650 cruiser is a totally different beast to a 650 sportbike - which you could happily have for years

Hello, I'm looking into buying my first street bike. I know it's best to start with something smaller, but I've been riding a 250cc dirtbike in brutal course, off road, and woods conditions for years, and recently took a 250cc honda CBR through the mountains and highways of Vietnam on a multi-day trip. I feel very confident in my riding and think I should go straight into a bike I won't outgrow. What do you recommend?
