honestly, just ditch the school and look for other school that are willing to teach u. Yes i do admit ppl who never rode a bike would become a bit hassle to teach but u already paid them to teach u. Sure its a bit hassle but if customer wanted to do it why not?

from my personal experience... its better for u to take all of them (b full, D license in one go) because u wont have time do re do it when u are getting older or when u are working. for me Big bike got to learn how to properly use clutch and all but if u are keen enough u'll get it in no time. myself need a full year to do B full license not because i cant ride big bike, but because i cant find the time to properly take the test and need to take leave from work just to take the test and what not.

so i say ef the school that dont want to teach u B full and go to other place that are willing.

If possible, yes.. if do not know the destination's parking area.. better find the parking lot that within your eyesight. Or use other means of transportation...

I would think the main reason school's recommend a safer approach, is for safety reasons. After MCO, the learners' and exam queue is quite backed up. For B-full bike, there's usually just 1 or 2 per school. In some areas, 1 bike is shared among few schools. The last thing they want is anything to happen to that bike. At one time, there will be up to 10 learners riding bikes on the learning ground.

The school may be able to guide you at first, but really the rest is up to you. Here's what I would suggest, get an L first from JPJ. Buy a clutched bike, and go from there.

True. A lady friend wanted to get a B license, and she was told it would take 6 months because of the waiting list and the school not having enough bikes. If I ever wanted to get my B, most probably I will do it kat kampung, hopefully the waiting list is short

i don't know what exactly the riding school's position is on this, but i suspect part of the reasons being its simply easier work for them to "teach" B full to those who already has a B2. There are bound to be cases where people could not even understand the operation of clutches in general or who are not comfortable at cycling to apply for B full only to struggle massively. so from the academy's point of view the less hassle, the better it is. this is why i asked about your own competency on two wheels.

the other issues is that the kapcai you learn with for a B2 is really not much different from a granny bicycle (i would argue that even a mountain bike has more aggressive stance) and it doesn't come with a clutch. again i say that it is barely any harder than riding a bicycle, the kapcai is just different from a clutch bike. the 650s they use for B full training have more in common to the bikes than you would be riding compared to the kapcai. since you are riding partly for the fun or it, you probably be looking at bikes that outclass your B2 a year or two  down the line.

parking is really dependent on where you go. some places like 1U and Empire subang are very good to big bikes so you don't have to worry that much. most people who use big bikes to commute either commute between home and office where  they know the safety of parking, or in malls that have good big bike parking or rarely park it out of sight. if you are talking about a go anywhere bike for general commuting in the city, then i will, as usual, suggest getting a scooter that thieves generally do not target.

Seems like another underground thing need to be venture... dunno where is where to park for bigger bike...and whether if its safe.. is there any group or discussion for this? or just follow instinct haha

Today a friend told me the bike at his riding school was dropped by a learner, brake lever putus. Now the school need to fix it and schedules are pushed out.

Suggest those who have zero riding experience but want to take B-full direct, buy and learn on your own bike instead of risk dropping the learner bike.
Many ppl are queuing to get their Bfull license and it depends on the survival of the bike.

I spent almost 1.5 years to familiar and comfortable with big bike only now go to continue my practice and prepare for lesson.
I feel it’s better compare to wasting time and driving school as they just let you pusing pusing~

Take lesen pay RM650. Drop bike replace ori lever RM200. Not to mention other damages to the steering and chassis.
That's why la learning school bikes are such a crap.

Another pal of mine failed exam becoz the bike suddenly died, together with 2 other person taking test after him, and the whole batch need to come back another date to re-take.

Better take B-full when ready, avoid injury to yourself, or make it difficult for everybody else.

my driving school (IMKEDA), the 1st time u go there they'll ask u which bike u comfortable riding with and stick with it. since i ride sportsbike, i chose er6n because its easier to ride than lets say a 650 vulcan. thou there are ppl who are comfortable with cruiser bike so they use the cruiser bike for practicing and test.

i must say eventhou the bike at IMKEDA are kindda neglected, it still runs and u familiarized with its quirks. I remember the bike i ride is kindda wonky on the gear lever and there is a way for u to free the gear. as i was doing the learning sessions, i make sure that i familiarized with the bike and how it behaves.

as long as u know what ure up against, u'll be more prepared taking the test, thou sometime shit happens, at least u tried ur best.

anyways, for me la, if u are really green and never rode a bike in ur life, go for smaller bike 1st. familiarized with it.... nevermind la if its gonna take longer than usual, just practice till u are comfortable enough to ride a smaller bike then learn how to ride a big bike.

anyways, if i have any advise for those youngsters who wanna get a b full license, i say go ahead but practice alot. even myself who already have almost 24 years of experience in riding a bike (be it small or big bikes) i still practice every chances i get. u know getting older sometimes u tend to forget things lol.
