Great, thanks for those replies/info. I'll look into the CBT training and take it from there.

I'll preface this by acknowledging that I've never ridden a motorbike before and I don't even know how to ride them (other than from a few YouTube tutorials I've watched this week). However, I am contemplating buying one. I own a car and have done so for quite a few years but I don't really enjoy the driving experience. I typically drive a couple of times per week. Occasionally I make long motorway journeys up the M1 which I always find frustrating due to the volume of traffic and getting stuck in queues. A few years ago I got into road cycling. It's my favourite way to get around, especially in urban environments. I have a speedy aluminum road bike and a gorgeous vintage steel framed touring bike with modern components. I love the feeling of filtering between a mile of queuing cars on a dual carriageway - being on a pushbike you have to be extra cautious and be able to judge the moment when traffic starts moving again, when to pull in and to watch out for motorists switching lanes without indicating. I researched the theory thoroughly beforehand to make sure I could be as safe as possible on roads, e.g. knowing when to ride in the centre of a lane (primary position). In terms of motorbikes I'm looking at the Royal Enfield 350 Classic. Would you consider this a suitable bike for a beginner? Also, would you feel safe using this bike on the motorway or would it be better to stick to B roads?
