Never rode a motorcycle in my life, never drove manual, but I'm thinking about copping an enduro bike, street legal ting. Something like a Suzuki DR 125 SE.

Thinking about getting a sport bike. how easy is it to learn to ride, can u learn in a day?
I would suggest that you try to find a MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) training course. It is geared towards someone who has never ridden a motorcycle but it provides a lot of useful safety practices that a self-taught rider may have never learned. It takes a two days to complete but you take the test at the end of the course and you pass it, that can be used to give to your DMV to add the M to your driver's license. It doesn't cost that much, but it may be difficult to sign up if there's a waiting list.

I have '98 Honda Superhawk 996, bought it back in '01 with 3,500 miles on it, now it has just over 62,000 miles. Got a few upgrades on it, HMF Exhaust, K&N filter, ignition advancer, Sargent seat, Koso aftermarket gauge panel, braided brake line fr/rr, windscreen, and led turn signals. I've been working at a Honda motorcycle dealership since 2000 where I bought the bike, 1st v-twin bike and by far my favorite besides the RC51.....

I ride a Suzuki Boulevard M50...805 cc's. This was my first bike, and it was/is a great first bike. Learning to ride
was easier than I expected. I took the MSF course and was riding in no time. Just take your time you'll be good.
After riding my friends GSXR 1000, my next bike will be a sports bike and most likely a 1000. Keep the shiny side
up and the rubber side down!
Just sold this yesterday and I'm picking up an 06 Hayabusa tomorrow. Thought my next bike would be a liter bike, but the Hayabusa fits me better.
