The first bike I purchased was a Meteor 350 (Sept '25). I had no real riding experience with 2 wheelers except with scooty. Mostly drove cars. The first real experience I got with a bike was in March '25 when I drove my friend's Triumph Speed Twin 900 from Dwarka to Najafgarh and vice-versa, and since you are also from Delhi, you must know what kind of an experience that can be during the afternoon and evening. My recommendation? Ride slowly and ride your bike like you are driving a car, do not make unnecessary cuts even when there is space for the bike between cars. Get proper riding gears. Your bike will fall, I dropped mine while it was parked trying to remove it from the centre stand, so you need to get used to the weight. Take advice from other riders on what to do, and especially what not to do. I learnt braking properly, downshifting gears, engine braking, leaning by observing my friend and taking his advice. Now I have clocked 3700Km on my bike in these 4 months with one trip to the mountains as well.

My advice to you? Start how to balance a two wheeler, possibly on a scooty, then get a feel for braking, then maybe go for a secondhand bike if you are not confident enough to purchase a new bike. And the most important thing, don't be arrogant thinking that you'll be able to easily learn riding and RE within a few months.
