Beginner or Experienced Motorcycle Rider?

Depending on your riding experience level, some motorcycles may be better suited for you than others. 

New riders should stick with lightweight motorcycles that are easy to control. Learning to ride is challenging enough. You don’t want your motorcycle making it more difficult. Experienced riders, on the other hand, have the skills and strength to handle heavier motorcycles.

It’s also wise to consider your experience level and the motorcycle’s power potential. Newbies should stick with low-power motorcycles that they can easily handle. Avoid getting a motorcycle that is too powerful for your skill set.

Don’t forget to account for riding position. Riding a motorcycle takes a physical toll and it takes time to build up the required stamina. New riders will want a motorcycle with a relaxed sitting position while experienced riders can handle a less-natural option.

How Will You Use The Motorcycle?

Different motorcycles are designed for different uses. Think about how you want to ride and the motorcycles that will best match.

For example, motorcycles that give you the highest speeds aren’t necessarily well suited for longer rides. Sport bikes, for example, are built ergonomically with the rider leaning forward. While this is great for fast riding, this position can put a strain on your back on longer rides.

Motorcycles can be tailored for city riding, long distance riding, trail riding, racing, and more. Be sure to get a model that suits your specific riding lifestyle.
