Motorcycle buying tips-New Riders

Motorcycle riding has become a more popular way of commuting in the past few years. Every day there are new riders signing up for training courses around the world and it's not just the youngsters. Actually more people between ages 35- 55 are the ones purchasing motorcycles at this time. People who have never considered riding before are taking classes to buy scooters and small motorcycles to save on gas. If you are seriously considering buying a motorcycle read i reccomend that you read this motorcycle shopping advice first.

There is only one word for this bike. Bad! I personally do not own this bike but I have rode it on many occasions and for someone looking for something that can carry them around town, on the interstate, to the store or anywhere you want to go, this is the bike for the job. Most 250cc motorcycles will only travel at speeds around 55- 65 depending on the size of the driver. With myself on this bike it will travel around 105 top speed and i weigh 145 lbs. This bike starts at $3,499 and gets around 65-75 mpg. For more information on this bike check out Kawasaki Ex250R Motorcycle Info.

There are a few things I would like to discuss about new riders. All to often have I seen an interested person walk into a dealership wanting to get a motorcycle and interested in the most expensive and fastest motorcycle on the floor. First tip- know your limits. Whether your buying a cruiser or a sport bike know what to start on. Don't have the notion you will save money by purchasing the best-est biggest bike now so you won't need to upgrade. Not Smart. Getting a bike that you can handle and control with confidence is way more important than getting a bike that you want because its the top dogg of motorcycles. Learn and then upgrade. Did you know that in Japan you have to be a rider for at least ten years before you can get a 1000cc bike. In America an 18 year old boy with no experience and a co-signer can get anything he want. hum.

Super Duper Magnificent tip- If you cant "walk" the bike when sitting on it, its probably to big.

Take the Riding Course! I can't stress that enough. Plus most states require you take the course before you can get the endorsement.There are many courses that you can sign up for that teaches you how to ride. The most popular is the MSF Course. Other riding courses like Ride Like a Pro are available for usually cheaper prices, more one on one teaching, and less booked. These classes run anywhere from $150- 220 a class. Most training companies offer a basic course and an advanced course like the one shown in the video below. If you pay attention to the drivers, some are women riders who haven't rode for more than a year! And there on some pretty big bikes too.
