To be able to try you need a bike of course but almost anyone will work fine. Most tracks demands that you dismount your front brake grip and no tyres with knobblies or spikes allowed. You also need at least a “try-out-license” to have an insurance if you are on the throttle too hard. You can most likely buy the licenses on-line just ask people at the track you are attending and they will help you out.

Get in touch with a track close to you and talk to them. Its a very welcoming environment and no questions are wrong.

A warning though: Once you tried it the only question remaining is why you didn’t start earlier…
