U never rode a bike before ? mean u don't even had a B2 licence ? in that case first go register at a driving school...lol..

Anyway I would not advice u to get a bike with clutch as ur first bike, u need to control the balance & braking first before learning how to control the clutch.

Still

Kawasaki Ninja 150RR vs Honda CBR150

Good looks - Ninja offcoz, CBR kind of "small" & look funny if u r big size fellow.

Quality - Ninja have better frame & more rigid swing arm, CBR quite plain in term of equipment.

Maintenance - Ninja been 2 stroke need constants service including de carbon cylinder, CBR 4 stroke engine mean less maintenance. (note : if the mechanic accidentally scratch ur Ninja cylinder wall using pneumatic steel brush mean u end up with huge repair cost)

FC - Ninja need both Fuel & 2T oil to run meaning higher cost, even by comparing on fuel consumption alone CBR still win.

Lastly if u don't have a "Safe" place to park ur bike forget about Ninja, other Ninja will kidnap ur Ninja ...lol...

If u r getting these 2 full faring bike be prepare to spend $$$ coz one fall cost u a bomb to replace those nice faring.

Lastly u can too consider Yamaha FZ150 as it a naked bike meaning no faring to scratch. .lol..I am not sure both Ninja & CBR had that middle// double stand, if not lubricating the chain may be a task, I know coz used to rode a TZM many years ago.

Haha u have a point there I m getting my licence next month, but planning to get a bike soon. Alot of ppl tell me to get a bike with no clutch cuz is easy. Is it hard to control both the ninja and cbr besides the clutc? And is there any good looking bike at 150cc without clutch can recommend?  Thx this really helps

I remembered back then when first I rode my new TZM from shop back to house about 6km, engine mati & re start more than 10 times coz not well verse with clutch control. ..lol..

Why must be 150cc ?? but I think there r some 150cc cup/scooter in the market, sorry can't give u any recommendations as I had not ride a motorcycle for more than a decade, getting old so need 4 wheels ..rofl..

U can consider getting a used cub or scooter, familiarise with then bike later upgrade to bigger bike with clutch, u wouldn't loss much in RV too, make sure u get a bike with at lease front disc brakes, coz drum brake easily cause wheel lock up on wet road.

But I would alway advice people to get a car if income r ok, coz bike is really dangerous.

First bike was a used Yamaha 110ss kapchai, got clutch by if let go clutch won't mati engine one ...lol..

For hobby can consider Benelli Keeyway look big & cheap but china made lah...

Get a good helmet, jacket, boot & glove, better be safe than sorry. (these stuff keep save my life many times).
