Hello CP, I am planning to buy a motorcycle in the spring. However, I know absolutely nothing about them and would like for fellow Calgarians that actually own one to fill me in on some knowledge or tips. I currently own a class 5 and am planning to take a class 6 test in the summer.

Some main questions I have are:

What would be considered the normal price for a motorcycle?

Are insurance rates the same for a bike and a car?

What would be a good brand to start me off on?

I can only park it on the roadside since my other car is in the parking lot, so how can I prevent theft?

Major differences between driving a motorcycle and a car? (in terms of being on the road)

Keep in mind I know nothing about them. Any tips or info is greatly appreciated! I'd like to have a good understanding of them come Spring.
