Im going to ride a motorbike (motocross) for the first time ever.... any tips?

Question:
I'm going to have a shot on a friends motorbike, its a Suzuki RM250. I've never ridden a motorbike before. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get started? Even if it seems really obvious or simple, please let me know anyway, I'm an absolute novice. Thanks!!

Whats a good street bike with plenty of acceleration?

Not sure this is the best bike for you to learn on I have owned and raced a few of these for a number of years, it may only be a 250 but has a power to weight ratio greater than alot of super cars. Try using 2nd gear to pull off, 1st gear will flip you off if not used to throttle control a 250 2 Stroke Ive had to replace a few rear mudguards after letting friends try my bike its even taken friends with superbikes have been taken by surprise of the power. If you can try something a little more forgiving than a 250 2 stroke try a 4 stroke or a 125 2 stroke as your first ride. That said you wont stop smiling for days when you get used to the power good luck.

Make sure you have some good gear, its worth it, trust me. Hanng on with your legs, if you try to wrestle the bike around with your arms they will pump up and that sucks. Other than that, just relax and have fun with it. Motocross is one of the most fun things I have done.

Why motorcycles have a 1-N-2-3-4-5 gear system and not N-1-2-3-4-5 ?

I learnt to ride by going really slowly in a car park for an hour and learning to control the bike on the clutch (its different to a car, you can slip the clutch on a bike as much as you like). Remember, any idiot can make a bike go fast but controlling it is the most important thing. And wear as much safety gear as you can get your hands on.
