Wanna help me? |
I wont to buy a new street bike anyone got any suggestions to what kind and size i should get? That would depend on your riding experience. And whether you want a sport bike, touring bike or a cruiser. You'd be better off buying a used street bike. Motorcycles are like cars -- they depreciate quickly. I would also advise you against crotch-rockets because they're very uncomfortable for long rides. A standard cruiser-type would be better. If you're planning to take it on the freeway you don't want anything smaller than a 400cc engine. After that, it depends on your size and experience. If you're just starting out, aim for a 400cc or 500cc. If you have some experience, you could probably go up to a 750cc. I've had very good luck with Honda motorcycles, and I have a buddy who only buys Yamaha, so there's two recommended brand names. The Honda Shadow is their most popular V-engine cruiser, and it's very reliable. That would be my recommendation. Whatever you do, be sure to ride before you buy. If you're near Wisconsin, buy mine. It's a 98 Honda Magna. It's beeyootiful! Suzuki SV650S is one of the better starter streetbikes out there. Assuming you have either riden in the past or are taking a MSF course. Plenty of them out there used, pick one up, mod to your hears content, ride the snot out of it for 2-3 years, and then consider another bike if you have outgrown the 650. if your a new rider i would suggest a mid sized dual sport. they are easier to handle and harder to tear up when, i repeat when you drop them. get the proper safety gear too!!!!! as a new rider you WILL go down during the learning process. if your an experienced rider then the question is mute, go with what you like. Sarge927's answer covers almost everything. One other type of bike you could consider, if you like a sporty look but don't want to kill your wrists and back on a crotch rocket is a naked bike. Something like a Suzuki SV650 or a Ducati Monster, a Yamaha FZ6, etc. They are sporty, have plenty of power and good looks, but also have a more upright riding position so you won't get too uncomfortable. Have fun! Be safe! |
