Damn driving a motocycle is not that easy ;-)

Please rethink getting started riding on the road at your age. As others have stated above, you need a year or two off-road to get the feel of hard braking, balance, sudden turns, and the unexpected loss of traction(front or rear wheel). I'm not being a wiseass, or a party pooper. Riding on the street and highways is a very dangerous proposition when a person is still getting the basics of riding imprinted in their brain. These basic skills MUST become so ingrained that they are second nature, and can be implemented without any thought or decision. I have ridden for many many years. Only on the road now, but started out on dirt, progressed to trials, flat track, and enduro racing, until I was 18, when I started on the street. Motorists on 4 or more wheels DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. Sometimes, they look right at you, and don't see you. Good advice above, buy a mid to large size enduro-style bike (KLR Kawasaki excellent example). These bikes will let you learn the basics on the trail until you're comfortable, and are usually street legal or easily convertible when you're ready to face the threats of the street. Free advice, from an old man who has been there, and done that.

What a pussy fest. I started riding again after 20 years on a R1200RT. Great bike but slow. Wife loved riding pillion so much she got her own F800ST. Now a few years later I ride a K1300S and she rides an S1000R. All our vacations are riding vacations.

No incidents. Ride safe and smart, and always work on your skills.

A little POS low performance bike does not make you any safer as a beginner rider, but your bike must fit along with your gear. ABS and traction control are huge benefits on two wheels in the absence of a childhood of dirt bike experience.

Put in the miles away from traffic so you can work on the basics with as little distraction as possible. Don't underestimate the value of low speed practice in a parking lot.

If you don't LOVE riding hang it up. A good rider is also a good driver, but riding is not for everyone. Two people that got me back into riding no longer ride. It's either an itch you need to scratch or an addiction.

I was able to afford one for the first time in my life at 40, last year. Sold it this year. Too many people on their cellphones and pulling out on me. I see people daily just reading their phone driving down the road. Roads in the midwest are shit, and crowded with fracking trucks. If I lived in a desert or somewhere else, I'd reconsider. At this point I don't care to take the chance.
