You really should take a rider training course before you start. I just may save your life. That way you get lots of practice and then some of them even offer the road test on the same bikes you ride in class. Years ago I went to Too Cool Motorcycle School. They operate out of the parking lot of McMahon Stadium. Lots of first time riders in the course and they had you on the street in a week. They also allow you to use their bikes for the road test from the same lot.
