Once you learn to drive a manual transmission, it is easier to use a manual on another vehicle. It is true that if you make a mistake with a Bike, there is no cage. You need to practice with either, especially uphill starts as if there is real traffic behind you. Even better, find an older car with a non-synchronized gear box. Hell, if you can heel and toe a double clutch downshift, you can shift anything.
Seriously though, you can start on either. If I had the option, I would have learned to bike on a dirt bike first. Lots of practice with no crazy car drivers on cellphones.
