Starting with scooters is the steady but more expensive route. Scooters are easier to start on since you'll only be managing throttle, brakes, direction and the traffic around you. It's also easier to maneuver around town and driveways because of its size. Cheap to operate and maintain too. Downside is you will have to learn to use a manual motorcycle at some point, so that's another purchase (or at least another phase in case you can borrow a manual to learn on). You can of course go straight to the Rebel you want, but I can't really recommend doing that. SCOOTER > INTERIM MANUAL > REBEL The 2nd option is to skip the scooter part, and start on a small manual bike. Starting on a manual is the cheaper, but might have a slower progression option. This heavily depends on how comfortable you are with motorcycles tho. In addition to the things above, you'll also be managing a clutch, a gear lever and the rear brake gets transferred on your right foot. You're literally using all 4 limbs on a manual. If all of that sounds hazy to you, then this option is a no-go. Although, If you have a place to practice (a subdivision or parking lots), or a friend with a manual, this might actually be viable option for you. You just need to build your skills before going out on the public road. MANUAL > REBEL There are also 400cc+ scooters nowadays. You might want to check those too. Enrolling in Honda is not a bad idea, you get taught and also will be able to experience both manual and scooter. You might also get a chance to ride a 400cc+ bike there. Are there no other Honda training centers other than that of Taguig? Will the MMDA Motorcycle Training Academy training be enough to ride a big bike? Quote Link to comment

The skills are very much applicable to everyday riding with the benefit of safety being that it's done on a one-way course with no pedestrians and other hazards you could encounter on a typical public road. They also teach people with zero know-how of riding a motorcycle, male or female, young and old. I've seen learners here as young as 5y/o? 6y/o? needless to say, driving around busy edsa and metro manila requires more than just knowing how to mechanically operate your bike. It also requires 'diskarte' which is something you learn while driving and can't be taught. But going through a riding school is definitely a big step towards learning.

You can ride the same model of the bike you bought for a 2 day training course +-35K. Other brands like Ducati and KTM also have riding schools for their clients. Refresher type classes for people who already have their own big bikes, don't really know about those. Quote Link to comment
