I got my first bike the day I turned 21. 
I think I had it a bit easier than some though, as I'd done a lot of things when younger that likely helped out.
I've driven manual cars, so I understand how a clutch/manual transmission works, and I was a 'stunt rider' on regular bicycles, so I understood about balance and countersteering very well (think more along the lines of something you'd see in a Circus, not a BMX competition).
