I’m going to college soon, and have been considering getting a cheap motorcycle, maybe a Royal Enfield. I don’t have a driver’s license yet (not needed to get motorcycle license in my state), just a permit. Is it a good idea to learn to ride before you have much experience in a car? (I’d be getting professional riding courses through my state DOT). Can’t afford a car, and the campus is very scooter / motorcycle friendly.
I learned to ride before learning to drive, but where I grew up car insurance was obscenely expensive for any male under the age of 25, but insurance on some shitbox 125cc bike was cheap, so that was the main motivator. I think knowing how to operate a clutch and shift gears on a motorcycle already made learning to drive a manual transmission car easier.
