Shopping for a motorcycle, is a 250 cc engine too low for a beginner? |
someone told me i should be shopping in the 500cc-600cc range, but i'm finding some deals on eBay for bikes in 250cc? That is not too low for a beginner. Have you been riding at all? Do you know the basics? I am a beginner also; I took a basic course. (I don't know where you are, but these are usually offered through your community or technical colleges for a nominal fee.) and bough a Honda Rebel. You can get good deals on these bikes on E-Bay or in your local paper. You should get a bike that you feel comfortable with to start on and when you " master" that you can move up. If you get something too large or powerful to start with, you may scare yourself out of riding. Also, please make sure you wear a helmet and proper gear. It is so very easy to be seriously injured or killed on a motorcycle. Other drivers just don't see you. Good luck. Yeah, You Would Regret It Later On. Once You Actually Learn How To Ride It And Get Comfortable With It, (Which It Doesn't Take Long) You'll Want To Go Faster. Cuz A 250 Only Tops Out At Like 80 Or 85 Miles A Hour. So Yeah, Your Best Bet Is A 600, Which That's What I Have. And That's My Very First Bike Ever. So You'll Be Good With A 600. aztec has it right. you'll be selling the 250cc within a month. Buy a big bike and ride it.They are all easy and the bigger they are the easier they ride.Buying a small bike and moving up is nonsence. Almost everyone who has gotten into motorcycling has learned on a smaller bike and moved onto bigger ones. You'll also probably want to take someone for a ride, too when you get better at riding. Small bikes are best to learn on, but you do outgrow them quickly. If you are going to ride a sportbike, buy something in the 500-600cc range. If you're going to ride a cruiser go a little bigger... 650-750cc range. I really feel the 250cc bike will be a waste of money. 250 cc + you = PUD Once you get this bike, you will find out why there are so many good deals. TAKE a MSF course before you do anything. Hope I don't see you on the road PudBoy!!! A ninja 250 can go 100mph at its top end. If you dont feel comfortable with a bigger bike buy the small one there is always someone else to sell it to once you learn, stay away from the chinese bikes as they are junk. Buy one of the big 4 brands of japanese bikes as they are the most reliable. |
