Its not hard. That being said, I started riding dirt bikes around the age of 12 and did pop the clutch, wheelie and crash during my first attempt. Many colleges offer motorcycle courses for a few weeks that culminates with you taking the tests and getting your license. These classes aren't required but if you've never ridden, they may be worth checking out. As someone who has never ridden or driven a manual transmission there is a little bit of a learning curve but a few hours of practice and you will have it down. I find motorcycle riding very freeing and enjoyable but there are some drawbacks. Rain and cold weather can really ruin your day. Loose gravel on turns can cause a wipe but the worst are other drivers. You have to be very aware of the vehicles around you and what they are doing because sometimes they can't see you. If you have never driven anything, think of the purpose of getting a vehicle. A car has much more utility uses and storage capabilities.
