i was same like you, zero experience in riding.

i bought a ninja 250, until today still L license, i learn how to ride all by myself through watching youtube.

the first 1000km is scary, i also fell 3 times within my first 2500km.

but now it's 5000km already i can say i can ride well enough.

so my recommendation? buy a 2nd hand bike with clutch first, maybe fz150i or kapcai or 2nd hand ninja 250 if you want. then progress from there. but for 100km daily, i wouldn't complain with my ninja 250. it's comfortable, yes it's a sportbike but the sitting position is almost upright for me.

L license has a 2 years expiry date. Mine is expiring on this coming October

well, will take an exam before that, still have 4 months to go

I renewed it for 6 months every time.

yea, you can renew it too at the post office.

renew it for 6 months la 

btw, police never stop me before.

just the initial L license with photo will do. (separate passport size photo is NOT required)

they will give you another piece of license for extension of validity period, you will need to carry both the initial license and extension license with you all the time.
