what is the best starter motorcycle in usa?

Question

for an adult rider

Answer 1

First start with what brand you like. Then think if you want a sportbike or a cruiser. But start of with a small bike I would not go over a 750cc in motor size to start. After a while trade up.

Answer 2

A light enough one. Lay it on its side softly. If you cannot upright it, it is too big for you. (You will thank me when you lay your bike over and you don't have to ask for help to pick it up) Cruisers are better starter bikes. They are more comfortable and not about racing around like an idiot. I recommend a 500-650cc bike for a 150-160 lb guy as a starter. I only like in-line twins. I started on a 305cc 1964 Honda Superhawk(in-line twin), but I am restoring that one, so I got a 500cc Kawasaki Vulcan LTD(in-line twin). It has the same engine as the Ninja 500. Also it has the same horsepower as the Harley 883 sportster(V-twin), costs 2000 less, and weighs about 200 less lbs.

Answer 3

I take it you're finding at game motorcycles. My rule of thumb for a generic motorbike is 50 hp or much less. The Ninja six hundred has approximately double that. some people initiate off on them, genuine, yet you will learn swifter on some thing extra handy to trip that's much less in all probability to punish you in case you're taking it to its limits. The Blast, on the different hand, genuinely qualifies as a solid first motorbike. Kawasaki has 2 alternatives in the Ninja line, the 250 and the . And Suzuki has the GS500F - I trip one among those myself. those all are enormously lots generic motorcycles that are effortless to trip yet have sufficient means to maintain up with freeway site visitors. The Ninja 250 would be extremely revving confusing at seventy 5, yet you will not injury it by using working it flat out. My suggestion is to bypass sit down on those 4, examine them out, and spot which one you like suited. additionally, i prefer to propose taking instructions from a driving college like those run by using the bike risk-free practices commencing up; it's going to do lots to coach you for driving.

Answer 4

Some sort of dual sport so you can practice off road riding and on road. The skills you develop riding in the dirt will go a long way toward keeping you healthy when riding in the street. If your a first time rider you will learn some hard expensive lessons with a street only ride. IMHO after 40+ years riding

Answer 5

If you want the best bang for the bucks and are less than 6ft. tall and weigh less than 200 lbs.
Then I suggest the Ninja Sport 250R. You can buy this bike brand new for around $3400.00 out the door. It only weighs 324 lbs. and go's over 120 MPH.

If you are over 6ft. tall and 200 lbs.
The Honda 1300 w/ABS brakes is a copy of the BMW 1200, the price difference is $6k less and has a larger gas tank. 7 gallons.

Answer 6

Harley Davidson 883 Hugger

Answer 7

Depends on your tatse----sport bike or cruiser. I cannot recommend a good sport bike, but as far as a cruiser to learn on...a Suzuki Savage 650 or a Honda Rebel 250 is small and light and a good start . If you are taller, a Honda Aero Shadow or a Shadow Ace would be a good learner. Don't buy new if you have never ridden before...buy used, so if you drop it (and you will!!!!!LOL)) you're heart and your wallet won't hurt so much. When you have mastered it and are ready to step up, then buy new. Good luck.

Answer 8

it all depends on the age of the person..
a honda 80 is a good starter bike for a 12 or 13 yr old.
for an adult...650 or 750ccs should be apropriate

Answer 9

for a cruiser i would go with a honda rebel 250 and for smoethin a little sportier i would try the kawasaki ninja 250. both will tote you around at most posted speed limits no matter what your size and you won't spend a lot of money. both have great resale value also for when your ready to move up.

Answer 10

To get you started in the sport safely, a 500EX Kawasaki, if you want a standard or don't know your tastes yet a Honda CM250 Rebel. its a good bike to learn on and affordable too. good luck and don't pick something too radical just yet.
