am thinking of taking motorbike lessons, what cc can i start from am nearly 39?

Answer 1

If you are in the UK. You must do CBT which most places will provide a bike for you. It will be a 125cc. You should then do what is known as a direct access course (at your age). You can then ride anything on the road. I would keep to the max of a 600cc for insurance reasons until you have built up experience. You must also do an additional theory test. Any bike training centre will help. You will look to pay about 500 for dirct access including the CBT or 100 for CBT alone. It great, do it.

Answer 2

Where do you live? In the United States, you can legally start on a bike of any engine size, not that this would actually be a good idea.

If you take lessons through something like the MSF, they will supply the bike. Once you get your own bike, you can get a 250 cc one like what you learned on, or if you feel comfortable, move up to something a little larger.

For your first bike, I would, as a general rule of thumb, say to set a limit of 500 cc for a sportbike or standard, 650 cc for a dual sport (sort of a big, street legal dirtbike), or 750 cc for a cruiser. There are a few exceptions - the Harley Sportster is all right for larger beginners, for example, but normally you'll have an easier time learning if you stay under those limits.

Answer 3

You need to take a Defensive Motorcycle Riding course. These have bikes up to 125cc to take your CBT and bike test on. Once you have passed both, go round a few big bike shops and sit on several until you find one that feels right for your height and weight. Dont go straight for a 750 or anything huge- try a 250 or a 400 until you get used to the difference in controlling and cornering- there is a hell of a lot of difference- then the sky is your limit. Good luck.

Answer 4

Well that depends on the licence. For exsample in Illinois there are 2 Class L and a Class M
Class L is 149ccs and below and class M is 150 and up
Get a bile that is say 175 cc and you will only have to take the test 1 time. As you learn to ride 175 you can go bigger and get more power.
Check with the local college thy have riding classes.

Answer 5

I think being 39 makes a big difference between starting on a 250 or 600-750. Being older suggests more caution, responsibility and less ego, think you will learn just as easily on a 600-750 without outgrowing the bike too soon as you would with a 250.

Answer 6

You can only learn class 2b not more then 150cc, after 1 year u can take class 2a not more then 400cc, and 1 more year you can take class 2 to the max cc..... depends on wat you want for a bike. Transport or Touring. Mostly transport people would take only class 2b as smaller bikes easy to mantain and cheaper. Touring will be class 2 as more comfortable if you are going out of Singapore. As for class 2a.... mostly people go to track as well as class 2.

All depend if you 1 2 get a sport bike or a touring bike. But if you only 1 it for transport, take class 2b cause very cheap ^_^

Hope that helps.

Answer 7

Take the Motorcycle safety course and after that go sit on some diff sizes. The bike has to fit you. The cc's really don't matter unless you go way to high for your experience. You don't want to do that.

Answer 8

I learned on a Katana 750. one thing for sure what ever size you get you are gonna want to get something bigger later on down the road. if your just learning i suggest a cruiser around the 750 range that should keep you satisfied until you get use to the bike. I suggest taking a course before starting out. some schools provide bikes and you will learn more than if you just teach yourself.

Answer 9

For the cbt, you'll be doing it on a 125. If you've had a licence for a car you may be ok to ride a 50cc without a cbt or L plates! Some of the newer ones will do 60 mph quite happily!!

Answer 10

The easiest to learn on is a 250cc Cruiser. This is what the MSF course uses. Get trained, get licensed .
All motorcycles work the same, you can find one that fits you, afterward.
