Learn the basics well and everything else will naturally follow.
Learning bad riding habits, just to have to unlearn those later in order to improve is much more harder than taking it as slow as needed to learn the proper basic techniques from good coach, experienced friend or virtual advise.
Of course, at the beginning, none of us knew what was important and what not.
Two books can help you greatly:
"A twist of the wrist 2" and "Proficient Motorcycling"
In my opinion, if you want to become a
good and old street rider, these are the very first skills to master to perfection:
