That's really good to know, I appreciate it. It all makes perfect sense too. I will look at a 600cc then I think

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202311013524143 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202309222263277 So I am thinking something along these lines for a first one. I think 125 to start and then move up the ranks as I gain confidence. Thoughts? This might sound like a silly question... Will I notice much different between a 125 and a 300? I assume 600 is where I'd start to feel it more

I'm doing the CBT and DAS and I'm 37. Everything is booked, and if I pass, I should have the license by the start of Feb next year

I say auto as that is what I'm used to driving in a car, but it was manual up until a few years ago. Never ridden a bike in my life so just assumed this would be a better place to start, but what I've learned so far is go for Manual and non Chinese! I appreciate this info, I'll dig a bit deeper and see what floats my boat

The £3k mentioned above is for the bike only, helmet and clothing are an essential cost that I'm keeping separate

So many helpful responses, so I'll start of by saying thank you all! It seems the motorbike community is a nice one! I am going for the DAS license, I thought if I'm gonna do it, I might as well go all in. Manual or automatic - I don't know, probably automatic for ease (I prefer auto cars) Commuting or pleasure - pleasure City or rural - both but mainly city probably Height - 6ft Weight - lump... 19st I am thinking more of a cruiser type than a sports bike. I like the idea of it being a more chilled ride around with space for some luggage/essentials. Price - first bike I would say up to £3k with the thought of potentially upgrading once I have found my feet

Hello all! So I have just started the process of getting my motorbike license which has obviously meant I have spent the last 2 hours looking at bikes online. I am coming here for some advice on starter bikes. Where do I start? What should I be looking for? Excuse my ignorance, I am a complete novice.

Hi all, I have just booked my CBT, DAS and theory test. Fingers crossed I'll have a full motorbike license and be on the road by February, can't wait! I need to buy a helmet and jacket for the lessons and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on brand / type etc. I'm 37 and been thinking about doing this for a while, just decided to take the leap (Mrs is calling it my midlife crisis)
