\r\n \r\n ps i would never recommend that someone just jump on a big bike first... by being on the wheeler and fiddy you learn throttle and brake control, balance and how balance point is going to feel. unless you are a ride or die trooper i would never start big! work from the bottom up, learn as you go and become comfortable with what you are riding!\r\n

\r\n \r\n Starting on something small is good advice. Like a 50, quad or even a big,small bike like a ttr or drz 125-150 or something. Sorry about my penis.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I learned on a big bike first but also had my first serious injury within a month of learning. Pancaked the bike on its side and crushing my foot along with it. 3 fractures and 15+ stitches, 4 months recovery and I still refused to learn on a small bike.
\nWith all of that said I do think there are benefits to learning on small bikes and recommend a 100 or something comparable. A friend started riding the exact same time as me on a 100, learned all the basics and then some and when he converted to the big bike he picked all the tricks right up.
\nEither way, remember to take your time and tell all the guys that rush you or say you suck and try to discourage you to fuck off.\r\n

\r\n \r\n If you\'ve never ridden a bike in general, start off ridin a small bike like a 50 to get used to being in control of a bike. If you think about it, alot of boys rode Dirt bikes when they were younger maybe not stunted them but had the ability to be knowledgeable about how the bike works and feels. I got my fiddy 1 1/2 half yrs ago and picked up sum trix quite easy. At that time i also messed arounf with idle circles,standstill burnouts and lil stopeys on my bfs 636,About 6 or 7 months after i was on my 50 i also got a 250ninja & started learning wheelies on that then about 8 months later in Feb 2010 i got a big bike i got the 636. I never fully mastered ne of those bikes, Heck im still learnin new tricks on my 50 today. But i do believe all have helped me in some way. I think if i would have went to a big bike first with never even being in control of a bike i would of had some serious crashes, havent had any scary ones yet thank god. lol SO do what feels good for you, everyone is different. If you feel comfortable to hop on a big bike & clutch it up go for it! Using the shifter as a clucth on the fiddy helped me alot for catchin the back brake when the bike comes over. Dont let any male or female discourage you & say you cant do it. When people discourage me, just makes me prove i can do it & twice as good...
\nJust takes time, confidence, & practice!
\nGOOD LUCK\r\n
