Hii

My names Deniz , im from sydney australia & just my riders licence and picked up a Honda CBR 250RR which is learner legal here in australia.

i was wondering if any of you experienced riders could offer any advice when it comes to riding? ive been driving for 5years im 22 years of age and this is the first time im on a motorbike on the road.

im a good person on the road who follows the road rules and i dont like to speed since ive written of a silvia i used to own and ended up in hospital by racing and i learnt my lesson.

any tips suggestions?

thanks

GET SOME GEAR! That is one of the most important things. A 250 is a great bike to learn on, just take it at your own pace and always respect your machine. Welcome

Welcome aboard, and great choice of bike to learn on. As Mauth said gear is great, take your time, and find a place thats comfortable for you. Dont go jump on the freeway day one, find an empty parking lot, or a quiet street somewhere and just tool around a bit, get used to the bike. Also if you think you arent as strong in some areas say braking or sharp turns, again dont be afraid to go somewhere off the beaten path and just practice those manuvers. Best of luck to ya .

+1 on the gear.

Do they offer any kind of motorcycle safey/driving course over there?

Yes there is, you have to do that before you can actually get your licence. which i passed.

its just the fact that i always get a little nervous when i jump on a bike and head out onto the road with a little adrenaline.

is this a normal feeling for someone who just started out ?
