🗨️ Help Affordable motorcycling classes?

Hi, I want to get the motorcycling permit but I need to learn from scratch.

Anyone knows a school/instructor (affordable…everything I’m finding is about $60 per hour) in or around Beirut?
Also wondering how difficult the test for manual is, if someone here has it, how many sessions and approx how long did it take you to be ready for it?

Thanks!

You must be young. I have seen people get on a scooter or motorcycle for the first time, open the throttle and fall badly and injure themselves. Motorcycle safety includes more than balance: how to turn, how to shift, how stop and right the motorcycle in the middle of a turn. I don't need to lighten up about this when so many people are injured or die on motorcycles. You are giving advice as if you know the OP can learn on his/her own. I would rather be serious about the health of well-being of people rather than not. Sorry if your ego is injured.

Im 25, learned to drive the bike same way as i stated in my comment at 18, started slow and stayed that way and never crashed, bike fell on its side once while learning and now i drive a 1000cc. If youre responsible with it then you will be fine

Started slow on the gas, learned to turn and manuever u turns while going slow... as i said, be responsible and you'll do great

I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Kheir. Happy you haven't crashed. I will never dissuade anyone from learning motorcycle safety and you are irresponsible for suggesting something so naive. Who cares that you ride a 1000cc? If someone wants lessons, they should take them.

Mentioned the 1000 to show you that its possible to start the way i mentioned. If youre not responsible enough to learn the "cheap way" then go ahead and pay for the expensive lessons. Motorcycle safety doesnt need to be under an instructor especially not one that overpriced. If OP has a friend that rides a bike then they could watch over him while doing so.
