Hello,

I am 15 and two months and I am very close to being able to get my motorcycle/moped permit. I have a couple of questions that I hoped the good folks of Y!A might be able to solve!

First, moped or motorcycle? My mom is not very happy about my interest in motorcycles/mopeds! So, what would be a better choice to make her feel better about my decision? I am a girl, but I really like motorcycles much better! ;)

Second, I was looking at the Honda Nighthawk as I hear it is a very good first bike choice. I am 5"10 and weigh about 145 pounds. Is the 250cc Nighthawk a good bike?

Third, I am so terrible at changing gears! I really need practice! We had a little quad and I could not figure the stupid thing out! :( Could anyone give my any tips! I feel so stupid not knowing how to change gears! UGH!

Well, that's about it! If anyone has any other tips or info for me that would be great!

First Time Biker,
Wolf
 
Honda Nighthawk or Rebel or something similar by Yamaha or Suzuki will do you well. My friend is around 5'2" and 110 lbs and 250cc works great for her. considering you're a little taller, you may end up upgrading to a 500 or 600cc to get comfortable.
