I live in a city that’s in between urban and suburban. The fastest road I’ll be on is 80km/h (so traffic probably going 90)

I grew up riding BMXs, and I have ridden automatic scooters a lot in Asia and the Middle East.

I have never driven a manual car or motorbike. What am I I for? It’s sitting in my garage I’m gonna need to watch a YouTube vid just to get into first gear.

And gloves, and rated trousers and a jacket. At all times. Even 25mph skids can rip you to the bone, to say nothing of head injuries.

But riding a bike with a manual clutch and shift is easy and intuitive, by all means look it up on jewtube but once you learn you will never forget.

A life of carefree joy. Ignore all naysayers and the pussies (like >>2641283): had I followed their advice I would have never bought mine. All you need is a loicence, a helmet, and a pinch of good judgement. Leave the expensive, sometimes overpriced, gear for when you're confident riding a motorbike is something you will do for the foreseeable future.

If you need advice just ask.

A neighbor rode a bicycle with her little kid strapped into a seat over the rear wheel. No helmet for either. They ran over a piece of fallen wood and tipped onto the road. The mom died instantly but the kid was okay except for having watched his mother crack her skull and die.

Wear a helmet.

On the other hand, a 6th grade neighborhood kid was riding his bicycle along a busy road when he slipped and fell underneath the tires of a fully loaded cement truck. They kept him alive for long enough to say goodbyes to his family. A helmet would not have mattered in that event.

Get a helmet and don't be a retard. If you can practice low speed maneuvers in a parking lot or field somewhere.

I live in eurolandia and mine was a joke: I didn't know how to ride properly before the loicence and didn't know it after either. I had to learn by doing. I have also heard that in other western cunts getting it is similarly easy.

I'm afraid that if they keep rejecting you you might just be room-temperature-IQ (in °C) tier retarded, I'm sorry anon.

High fuel consumption depìste the small engine. Dangerous situation in the highway when you can't overtake trucks. But they are cut and funny. And you can still carry a braphog as pillow

Centrifugal clutch or transmission? I have a cool little minibike that's an in between in terms of size but its centrifugal which means it tops off at 35, wish I got a transmission instead but at least maintenance and repairs will be easy.

Don't overthink it. When i got my first 125cc i had the dealer show me how to ride it in the parking lot and after 15 minutes I just rode home. Get gloves and a helmet, if you live in Central Europe i can sell you a motorcycle jacket for cheap. Watch a few yt videos on riding save. Just always be patient and don't take risks. I just wear my hiking boots and I advise you to wear solid shoes too when you ride. Have fun

you're in for a great time. Riding a motorcycle is just great, especially if you live close to routes in nature with plenty of corners.
Some unsolicited advice: 1) always wear your gear 2) falling is ok, there's only two types of bikers: the ones that fell and the ones that will fall 3) ride as if everyone on the road was trying to kill you, because they are
