I want to learn to ride a sport bike. A friend who owns a 600cc honda told me to start on a dirt bike but can I buy a low CC sport and learn on that and have it be the same? Thanks
Well If I got a sport bike first I wouldn't ride it on the street until I learned properly on back streets. But please tell me if this is a mistake. I'am worried about being hurt because I didn't learn right or took it to fast.
And I have never rode a dirtbike just ATV's here and there but I know that doesn't count for anything

I agree that the best way to learn is through the motorcycle safety foundation but it isn't a requirement – especially if you have a friend with experience riding to give you some tips.
The best bike to learn on is the kind of motorcycle you want to be riding long term. If you ultimately want a sport bike, then that is what you should go with. Riding a dirtbike is different so experience you get with that won't translate exactly. People learning to ride in the dirt is better because if you fall it won't hurt as much but riding on dirt, grass or gravel feels VERY different and it is VERY easy to slip. Traction on pavement is much better.
I still recommend the motorcycle safety foundation course but if you want to start reading up and learning some basics now there is some good info over at http://www.motorcyclegiftshop.com/motorcycle_riding.html
