I've always wanted a sport bike..
however being raised in the city I was never exposed to dirtbikes or anything that wasn't an automatic

Is it difficult to learn?

How long until i could perfect it?

Where could I practice?


Thanks

Pretty simple to learn, it is like riding a push bike.
The only thing that will be hard could be gears.

That all depends on how fast you pick up on new skills.

Where could I practice?
Anywhere you wish. I suggest old car parks/ abandoned factories.

Took me a few hours to get to grips with riding a motorcycle.

Once you know the basics like clutch control you will be fine. Changing the gears is pretty simple, I use to be worried about it but practicing it a few time made me more confident.

You could practice in some old unused car parks or places where it is quiet.

Riding a motorcycle is extremely fun but if you're in the UK/USA you should take the training course to get to grips with the bike controls etc also there is plenty of tutorials on YouTube showing you how to ride.

Here is a video of me riding my motorcycle a few days ago:

It's easy, raced motocross all my life. Bought my first street bike about 2 years ago. Never had a problem. If you have any friends with a dirt bike, go practice and get the hang of the clutch and shit.

Raced moto since I was 6...
Pretty easy to get used to,
main thing that will probably
be the hardest is using the clutch.
You have to learn to let it out easy
and you should be fine. Really have to
watch out for the drivers on the road though...
