What motorbike should i choose? |
hi im 31 and thinking about buying a motorbike,125cc ive never been on a bike in my life ive not past my cbt test yet.but will put in for it very soon.do i get a 125cc bike and keep it for a year get some practice then pass my full test and buy a bigger bike,or do i go from my cbt straight to my test,bearing in mind ive never rode before is it possible to pass ,also im 6ft 5 tall and the 125 bike seem very small are they all small,if not what are the best ones that i wont look daft on.id like a sports bike was looking at lifan 125cc what do you all think,thanks for reading this. You will look like Herman Munster on that little put-put, look at something like an 800cc+ Motorcycle. Source(s): 27 years as a Rider. Here in PA they offer free motorcycle safety course and provide motorcycles for the course, They are 250's and most of them are Honda Shadows. These are good training cycles and are not very expensive. They start out teaching you the trip precheck through to avoiding hazzards on the road. We had 5 people in our class who have never driven a motorcycle, one of which never even been on a motorcycle before. Everybody passed the four day class and received their license. Try a smaller bike and work your way up until you become more experienced. However, if this will be your first bike buy used and pay cash, get the experience of riding before moving up to bigger and more expensive bikes. I have had friends who bought big bikes like Goldwings and rode only a few times then selling them at a loss because they weren't ready for a big bike. Nothing wrong with starting small and working up to bigger later on. In fact the smaller bike will normally sell quicker when you are ready to move up, then use the money for your next bike. Which ever bike you choose, stay away from sportbikes unless you don't mind paying 10-20 times more for insurance. Insurance companies consider these high risk and will charge you alot for coverage. A 125cc will not keep up with the highway traffic if you need to travel, I would not recommend anything smaller than 250 cc unless it is a dirt bike and for off road riding only. You'd be best to do the das and get it out of the way. Then even if you still went for a 125 the insurance would be very cheap. But you'd be better off jumping striaght onto one of the softer 600's. Things like the Yamaha Thundercat or CBR600F are very similar to their sportier versions (R6 and CBR600RR) but are less racetrack focussed. The handling isn't as hard or twitchy and the engine is tuned to give more low/mid range punch instead of the peaky output of a full on sportsbike which make them more suited to a new rider. If you wanted something slightly slower there are various 400cc sports bikes available but they tend to be on the small side, your knees would be round your ears. Are you joking ! ? Buy a 1200 ! 125cc is for little kids and 75 year old women ! |
