That is a question that I remember asking about 4 years ago after I bought my first motorcycle, a 2002 Suzuki GS500. At the time I had a 1989 Chevy Suburban as my secondary vehicle, but I rarely took it out because of the stress of driving such a large (and gas hungry) car. Eventually the suburban broke down and I sold it thus starting my foray into living without a four wheeled cage.
Motorcyclists often have to communicate with other people on the road much more often than people who drive cars. Whether it is warning other riders of potential hazards coming up or telling a car that is getting too close to you to back off. These are the basic hand signals every rider should know.
1. You'll Learn Faster Than a 600cc. Riding a motorcycle is hard for most people. Sure, put someone on a motorcycle for a few months or a year and it will eventually become second nature. Until you build the muscle memory that you need to properly operate a bike, you need to stack as much in your favor as you can. One of the easiest ways to do that is by choosing a 250 as a first motorcycle.
There are a few things that it will take you a few months to learn once you finally get your motorcycle and you start riding regularly. If you are lucky you will have a riding mentor with some experience help guide you and tell you some of these tips, but if you don’t then feel free to study this guide.

Thanx for your advice on beginner riding.Motorcycle Helmets can safe you on road riding.Always love reading information regarding motorcycle.
I've been thinking about starting to ride and this has some great advice. Thanks.
I have actually tried riding before but never on those bikes that you have mentioned. I see that these bikes are ideal but considering that I am a girl, I don't know if I'll be able to handle it. :(

Accidents can be prevented through these very essential tips. Sometimes though, no matter how careful you are accidents still happen especially when the other vehicle wasn't as careful. It is always best to make people aware of these safety tips. :)

Wear warm boots! That's my two cents for when going out in the rain on your motorcycle!
It's always fun to ride out in the rain, but best to be careful!
