I’ve recently retired. I had a lambretta back in the da bay. My license allows me to legally ride any motorcycle.
I’m thinking of buying a small engine motorcycle to have as a weekend ride out experience. What would be a good option/ bike to start off with?

Do you have a full bike licence?

Can you do a "Back to Biking" type of day with a bike instructor near you? You will get a bit of instruction to get you back up to speed, and a bike to ride. Then you will have a point of reference. It also means when you go for test rides you will be able to hop straight on, knowing how a modern bike starts etc.
