What's a good beginner motorcycle?

So i want to get my motorcycle license soon, i have never driven a motorcycle in my life so what would be a good bike for beginners? I know how to drive a manual car so getting used to the gear changing shouldn't be to difficult. I was thinking about a Honda cbr300r.

The CBR 300 is a good choice. There's a class of motorcycles that are designed to be trainers--easy to learn, easy to ride--but are also good all-around motorcycles. CBR 300, Kawasaki Ninja 300, Yamaha R3, etc. They're all pretty good.

One thing, though. I think you shouldn't learn to ride on too new of a motorcycle. You're likely to be hard on your first bike, so it's good to learn on an 'old beater'. After 6 months or a year you can sell it and get the Bike of Your Dreams, plus by then you'll have a better idea what you really want. The CBR has been around since 2010, which is old enough, I guess.

If you can drive a manual shift car, you should have little trouble adapting. In a car you shift with your hand and brake with your foot, but on a bike it's the other way around. Still, if you understand how a clutch works, how to use it, you'll find it pretty easy.

The Honda cbr300r, as the same as Kawasaki Ninja 300, Yamaha R3, etc., are *NOT* beginner or "trainer" motorcycles -- those are middleweight motorcycles capable 100+mph, running any road, coast to coast.
A good beginner motorcycle would be a Honda Grom 125 or a SYM Classic Wolf 150.

Sporty bikes are designed to look like racing motorcycles, not something to be comfortable. *YOU* with lower knee pain, might consider a standard of cruiser -- something with an upright seating position.

Whatever! Before thinking about what motorcycle, take the MSF Basic Ridercourse Class -- you will learn the basics of riding a motorcycle. And you will find out if you even can ride -- not everyone can.

When you do get your motorcycle you want to pick one that matches where and why you will be riding.

I generally suggest a small 'enduro' style (street legal dirt bike) - 125-175cc.

They can take a lot more abuse, so when (not if) you drop it, you don't scratch up a shiny cruiser or shatter all of the plastic on a sport bike.

I highly suggest taking a rider training course - it can teach you important skills that might save your life.

The CBR 300 is a good enough starter, nothing special.

Hope you wish to take a MSF Basic Riders Course or similar to LEARN some basics, having a 100MPH motorcycle under your but can be tempting but the old 60-70s saying 'Speed Kills' wasn't refering to motorcycles.

It's a rather dangerous means of transportion so you better be ready.
Always stay 110% attentive and it does get worse as you learn to go faster.

Don't let the side of a car slap you in the face. PAY ATTENTION while riding.
