Oh i see

6. traffic stop (3 time wave like a girl then stop)

This is the most embarrassing part of motorcycle test ....
So for someone who knows how to ride a normal bike should be easy to ride superbike rite? Only have to learn to use clutch and balance heavier bike I assume.
Is there any place to learn/practice for beginners? Like perhaps some race tracks? Or should we practice with mat rempits smile.gif

yes and no

the bike weight difference is very big. a normal kapcai is about 100kg, while a typical bike would weigh at least 180 (a cheaper er6 will weigh at 220, and an expensive superbike can be as light as 150kg)

u definitely can't afford a handle lock on a big bike. the turning radius is very small, so you can't maneuvre around like a kapcai would

the acceleration is very tempting, and so sudden. one twist of a throttle what you may use on a kapcai would send you flying on a superbike

learning the clutch is the easy part if you have experience driving a manual car. just make sure you have strong left fingers.

Wah one twist of throttle can fly Liao, sounds exciting.
I've seen videos of ppl do wheelie, looks dangerous but fun also.
Everytime see ppl ride superbike sure wear jacket one, does it really help if we accident and fall?
And also is superbikes easy target for thieves? I heard thieves can unlock normal bike in 10-20 secs....if 100k bike stolen then sad.gif

with armored leather jacket and proper sliding techniques, you can save some bones, and bruises, but there's no guarantee

with normal riding jacket, lightly armored one, you can perhaps save some deep scratches, but if you fvked up pretty well, you may see some bones broken


any bikes can be easily stolen. that's why you have disc locks. put many2 sure take more time for thieves to curi

some high end bikes come with immobilisers built in - you can't start the bike without the original key

and most ppl dunno how to ride a bike. most thieves would do the stupid noob thing and end up revving too much and fall down, crashing your expensive bike.

Bones? That's some scary stuff man, lemme have a second though haha
But immobilizers sound useful.
Is it a must to get b2 license then only apply b full or can straight take b full?

u can take B full directly, but if you have no prior riding experience, the learnign curve will be a bit steep


ride carefully, know your limit, observe traffic rules & respect your bike

had a er6-n for less than two months

been riding a scooter for the past 4 years

had my driving license for 14 years


best advice?

alwasy bring a rain jacket or you may end up standing in a wooden shack by the roadside, while haning your head in shame, watching all the cars that you overtook at 130km/h passed by you

Like that also can? Buy bike first then license?hmm
But if buy new bike then learn, chances are gonna damage the new bike....when I first learned on normal bike(my moms) I fell a few times and damaged the bike...there were many scratches to the paint.
Right now is I kept looking at ur bike picture and it's very tempting me to get one Lol

Curious but the ducati 1198 only one seat rite? Cannot pick up chicks?
