If he is a starter I would go with the moped! I loved mine (i had one first) and thought it was great. It's good at building up your confidence and teaches you a lot before you go out on a bike that is very powerful. I think a moped would be a great first choice:)
I'm a woman to and this upsets me, in the uk practically everything is manual anyway! it seems strange when people drive automatic in this country. it's seen as being a bit lazy haha
I had a crash not so long ago and my confidence has been completely knocked. i've never thought about doing this but i think i may have a look for some, it would be a great way to gain confidence do you think?
I have been riding on my dads bike with him from being tiny. he didn't take me out on the road when i was tiny, just around the drive. we had a big drive haha:)
i completely love the matt black but now i have seen this i absolutely love this, i love the colour white so i would get this. i know not everyone will like this colour but wow, i really like it.
