It depends on if you want to ride or not. If you desire to ride a motorcycle I would recommend taking a motorcycle rider's safety course. Many beginner courses actually let you ride their bike (I highly recommend this!)

You will gain valuable information and they will teach you all the basics. They also will teach you how to trust the bike to respond to your inputs. This is essential! If you have ever seen someone on a motorcycle struggling to turn a sharp corner you know they do not trust the motorcycle to turn so they straighten their body which causes the weight not to shift to the inside of the corner.


Once you are riding for a while I would also recommend a defensive rider's course. It is an advanced course you bring your own bike to. Courses vary but typically they will teach you panic stops and quick maneuvers.


The courses are a great way to learn and you actually have someone there to walk you through. Also it is really fun
