Is learning how to drive a motorbike hard?

[CommanderMadi]

I have been curious the past couple weeks on learning how to drive motorbikes, the sporty ones. However, I didn' try anyone yet. Is it hard?

 

[beowulf]

no harder than any other sort of motorbike,..........i cant ride them cos i find them cramped

the main problem with riding a bike is all the idiots on the road

Once you can balance and successfully operate the throttle and brake/clutch (and which is which)...

The hardest thing is keeping the shift pattern straight.

Is it: One and Two DOWN, then three and four up?

1 down, 2 3 4 5 up

my advice would be get a street bike.....normal riding position, easy handling, smaller capacity too.....no bigger than a 500cc.............must a bike riding school somewhere near you, go have lessions and use their bikes.................THEN choose a bike for yourself
