Is it okay to buy a black bike as a 1st bike? |
People say it's safer to buy a bright color like orange, red, or yellow, so you are more visible to stupid people in cars that don't pay attention to the road. Like most posted... it doesn't matter. If they are not paying attention. Your awareness and response will do more for your safety than the color of your bike. I have had and still do have Black motorcycles. I also have an '06 Yamaha YZFR1 Limited Edition(bright pearl yellow with sharp black/white contrasting graphics. They don't seem to give me any more attention. And in fact.... I'm more often bein' messed with by the "tuner cars" who wanna race through traffic on the yellow bike. Source(s): Me! I would not buy a black bike. Exchanging safety for the "coolness" factor is not a smart thing to do. A bright helmet is also really important. Just remember that in an accident, 6000 lbs > 600 lbs. It's makes no difference, I have a black bike and I just wear bright shirts or something like that. If they don't see a black bike, they will never see a yellow one. I've got a white Harley Sportster with the headlight on high beam and people still pull out in front of me all the time People just don't look for motorcycles no matter what color. don't do it.it's against the law.don't listen to stupid people. think for yourself. You can be hit on any color bike but I agree a brighter color would be more visible thus be more apt to not be run over. Here is a site that might help as much as a brightly colored bike. with one of these on you're bound to be seen...but you might become an intentional target as bright as you'll be! http://www.safetygearonline.com/products... |
