Hi, I'm a newbie rider. I usually just rent scooters but would like to buy my first bike.

I would like to buy the Kawasaki D-Tracker 250 but want to ride it safely.

I've used a clutch on a 125 but that was a long time ago. I've driven plenty of manual cars so understand the clutch/gears concept.

Are there any courses I can take in Bangkok or should I just practice somewhere quiet and pick it up as I go along?

Any advice much appreciated,

Cheers

Wow! 62 views and not one single reply! I'll guess take that as a "no" then!

In Thailand the most famous safety riding riding course is by Honda. Honda has a basic, license, road safety for kids, and BIg Bike courses.

The Basic course costs 200 Baht.
The License Course costs 500 Baht,
The Road Safety for Kids (is a bicycle event and prices are unknown, they are intended for kids from 6 to 11-years old),
The Big Bike Course costs 2,000 Baht.

Thanks Jim. Appreciate the info.

We found a Honda Safety riding brochure, it is in Thai language, but maybe you know somebody who can help you translate some of the details.

Thanks News!
