Have never drove any car nor bike before. Working with a clutch was hell. Been able to start only after 5th try, and stalled a lot. But overall was fun, eager to get license.

    Thank you!

    Also found bicycle experience very helpful. But I feel that motorcycle requires a lot more work with your legs in comparison with bicycle. Even my thigh muscles hurts now. So it also will be tamed like a clutch.

      Yes, that’s one of the differing characteristics: a bicycle requires legs pushing straight down, but a motorcycle requires legs that squeeze together to secure yourself and to lean the motorbike properly.

      Are there motorcycles that are more laid back? Yes, but I believe they do so by putting the rider closer to the ground (to reduce the high center of gravity, which reduces the effort to lean), which then often requires elongating the wheelbase to accommodate the rider and engine. American-style cruisers are one such example.
