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
