@motorcycles I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future

So in the UK we have something called a CBT (Compulsory basic training) it’s a day course so you can go on up to a 125 on the road with L plates, it’s not a licence just get’s you on the road.
Yeah not the other two lol

That’s a lot of bike for a beginner! Glad you had fun and stayed safe!
It was only basic clutch control, turning and breaking. Didn’t get over 10mph, also will do (I did wear full gear well riding as well)

Thank you, yeah this is a friends bike. I hope that when I pass my training to get a Honda CB125r as my first bike.
My friend also did mention about the flat wrist, luckily I will also be doing a training course before I can actually be on the road.

There is a course that is called a CBT (Compulsory basic training) in the UK. I won’t be able to ride on the road until I have done it. Luckily it’s just a 8 hour day course and the only two ways I can fail is if I quit or am that bad at driving the instructor thinks I’m a danger to myself or others on the road.

It says “125” on it though. It seems like a 125cc bike made to look like a faster bike. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Get obsessed with learning new ways to be safe. It’s more fun than it sounds like, I think doing a great job being in traffic and choosing the right way to control your bike is a really rewarding path. And the safer you are the longer you get to ride.
I haven’t ridden in forever, but i liked to get into first and get a feel for the clutch of whatever I was riding first before going out on the main road. I usually rode cruisers or standards, but I hear sport bikes are a bit more touchy/sensitive.
Once they get a bit cheaper used and i clean up my finances I’d love to get a e-motorcycle….or something easy around town like a Rebel or similar. I mostly road a 80s Suzuki Intruder 750 before the wiring bit the dust when I was a teen/20s (older millennial)….then the Buddy50 my sister bought🤣
I keep looking at these forums like a kid looking in a candy shop lol.
Yeah my first little ride was only around the car park but it was great fun and each time I’m pillion for my friend I’ve got a great big smile on my face, I love it so much and can’t wait to see what I can do with Motorbikes in the future.
I’m hoping to get a Honda CB125r in the future what’s a street bike. I always love seeing some really nice bikes across forms and the web, or even in real life where I can admire them.
Oh yeah I had a blast ripping down the little bi-way in my town. Now I’m in the middle of a halfway decent sized city and something like that would be great around town. If I wanted to commute to work though I’d probably want a 250cc bike or a bit more for the highway. I’m just out of practice anymore 😭
Eventually I’d get a 300cc or something when I get my full licence to the motorways in the UK but a 125 is good enough especially as I’m only doing my training meaning I’d need Learner plates on till I decide to actually do my licence.
