Most riding schools provide motorcycles for you.

Best place to 'try before you buy' as you have professional educators and can see if motorcycling is for you or not.

Hi Pug!

I also would suggest the MSF course. They supply the bike and you'll learn alot.
You can also do some reading...Proficient Motorcycling by David L. Hough is excellent.
Amazon.com: Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well: David L. Hough: Books
(shop around you may find for less $ somewhere other than Amazon).

I'm still a new rider myself and I can't tell you how much the reading and especially the MSF course help me and continues to help with my ongoing skill building.

Have fun and stay safe,

Randy
