1st time girl motorcylcist needs advice on a good motorcycle :)? |
I just got my license and I'm looking to buy my very first motorcycle. I had mixed advice on purchasing a new/used motorcycle, buying an expensive bike vs. a cheaper one, or one that has more power vs. easy to ride. I'm looking for a sports bike. Can any experienced motorcyclist help me out. I'm also 5'07 so making sure my feet can touch the floor is no problem. Please help :) Aight, I've been there before. If this is your first time owning a bike, get a used one. Not only do you not have to worry soo much about laying it down, but it's good to have a bike that's been broken in. You do NOT need an expensive bike...not for a starter one!!! Do not start out with too much power. A lot of power for a new rider WILL result in a lot of problems. I started off with the Yamaha YZF600R. Excellent starter bike and I wouldn't recommend anything else. Comfortable seat, easy to ride, insurance will be low (it is a crotch rocket, but it's considered a sport touring bike), strong steel frame, not too much power (You will be surprised at how much juice she has, though!!!), and I'm 5'4" and I touch the ground no problem. Please be careful and do not jump on anything bigger than a 600 to start with. Ride about a year or so before going any bigger! I know from personal experience. As you get better, you will build more confidence in yourself. Then you can step up to bigger and better things. I have been riding for a few years and have added more mods to my bike. My favorite: NOS. Hence my name: ThrottleNBottle. Source(s): I'm a rider. Same scenerio for me too, im looking to buy and i think im going to get a honda cbr600rr, the main thing ppl tell me is to always wear protective gear, helmet, leather, etc. hoped that helped in some way Not a sport bike,but a very good bike if just starting out is a S40 Suzuki boulevard. It's a 650cc sets low has enough power to keep up with the big boys light weight ,easy to handle and priced reasonable. I bought my wife one to start on for a year and will move her up next year. Sport bikes might have a little too much s- - t to start out on. why dont' you check out a couple of web based motorbike forums and ask for views there? you're bound to get people passionate about it and can give you good cluey advice. I'd go for an old knuckle head with suicide shift. They are lots of fun. I'm looking at the Buell Blast...500 CCs...(you find Buell's at Harley-Davidson Dealers) |
