I need to find a good starter motorcycle?

Answer 1

I would get a small between 200cc and 500cc kawasaki or suzuki.

Answer 2

WOW! There are so many out there. An old Honda Rebel is often used for rider training. Something from Japan in the 200 cc range might be good.
If you want a serious bike that you can keep forever you might take a look at the Suzuki SV650. Just read the reviews and you may be sold and may never need another bike.
I taught my daughter-in-law to ride on a Suzuki SV1000, just a big engine SV650. She now has a Triumph Sprint ST.
I have taught foster sons to ride using a Harley Superglide. The low RPM torque makes easing off the clutch fairly easy, few stalls.
I have used a Honda Rebel.
I wouldn't recommend a Triumph Rocket III unless you are big boned. Nor would I recommend a Hyabusa, though it can be done.
If you have the money, you might consider a Triumph Daytona 675. They are really light with plenty of power and sweet handling, a great sporty street and track-day bike.
Good luck. Have fun. Ride safely, especially when on the rear wheel.

Answer 3

I've got four rules of thumb for a first bike. Well, maybe five. Here they are.

1. Pick one that's forgiving and predictable. 50 hp is plenty for a first bike; I wouldn't go much higher than that.

2. Make sure you can get both feet flat on the ground when sitting on its saddle.

3. Get one that's light enough you can pick it up when you drop it. It's easy to make silly mistakes when you're learning; I once parked my bike and walked away without putting the sidestand down. Had it fall over a couple seconds later.

4. Pick one that fits you, personally. I'm talking both comfort (sit on it for a few minutes at the dealership; anything that feels vaguely wrong with it in five minutes will really hurt after an hour) and your own personal style.

5. The cheap bikes from Communist China may be tempting, but I'm not sure I would trust their reliability. Any of the Japanese Big Four have good, reliable starter bikes.

Answer 4

What type of bike do you want? I'd say a 1978 Yamaha 650 XS is a great bike. Not too heavy, not too quick, but enough power to have beaten all the Harley's on the flat track some years ago. If you want to go newer, the Honda Nighthawk is a pretty well balanced bike. Good luck

Answer 5

Kawasaki 250 Ninja
Only $3000 brand new. It's been around for years & pretty much has the American starter sportsbike market cornered. Good bike, still pretty fast & choice of 4 colors for the new one & loads for sale (ebay etc) & hold the resale value very well. For a $3000 investment you really wont lose very much when you come to sell it in 6, 12, 24 months etc.

Answer 6

You could ask on a motorcycle enthusiast bulletin board like advrider.com or ThumperTalk.com. There are very helpful and insightful people on both sites.

Don't skimp on the gear! Regardless of the weather, remember to wear All the Gear, All the Time. You'll see this abbreviated a lot as ATGATT.
