I just started riding a few months ago and I bought a 2013 Honda CB500F. I thought I wanted a cruiser but after riding a 1000 miles I figured out that I would like a sport tourer.

I've had several near misses and two nasty bike accidents in my life, without exception they were caused by drivers who didn't see me. Head-on-a-swivel, expand your situational awareness to a full 360 degrees. Don't put yourself in a position where an oblivious driver in a car can kill you. Stay out of vehicle blind-spots, use the full width of your travel lane to increase your safety margin. RULE #2: SEE THIS LIST http://www.nolo.com/legal-encycloped...ses-30330.html |

If you drive a car for years, before you ride a bike, you have to change your thinking.
In a car, you get lazy because the frame around you is steal. On a bike, the frame around you is your legs. You have to focus on the road all the time when you are on a bike. 100% different thinking than cruising in a car. Never drift away from being focused. |

It's a huge assumption to assume a loud exhaust is a safety measure such that it alerts drivers to where you are and altering their path/speed, Etc. Typically loud pipes just startle other drivers and or piss them off. Neither of those makes things safer.

It totally helps. When you are splitting lanes people hear you coming and move over a bit to give you more room. Freeway or at speeds over 45 MPH not so much. But I live and do most my riding on San Fran so it is a big help. I got a termignoni exhaust system and it lets people know im coming.

I agree. I drive bicycle alot, for many years, so I know the feeling when I must control situation 360 degrees around me and always anticipate what drivers may do and be prepared for every possible act.

My advice would be to practice around your neighbourhood and in parking lots doing low speed maneuvers and then some nice twisty back roads to really get used to shifting and leaning into turns. |

So what. It doesn't pinpoint a location and it certainly does not create a driver that gives more of a shit about you. A startled driver isn't a better more aware driver.
Again my point is assuming things like this is a major mistake in thinking your creating a safe riding environment. |

There are few things I know more than motorcycles, been a motorcycle mechanic since 1975 and have owned many, currently have a Heritage Classic that needed new head gaskets at 30K miles, if you cant do it yourself you better have deep pockets.
I know you are partial and yes they are fun and they have the name but a Suzuki Volusia or similar bike is many times more reliable...like it or not...

Happens in cars too. On a busy state highway following two cars. The 1st car didn't see me. He made a quick right turn then a U Turn. Without looking or stopping made a left back the way he came. Somehow we avoided hitting, but I was forced into the other lane of on-coming 65 MPH traffic. Some how missed them too. Ride safe on your cycle |

I am trying to recall ANY of my H-Ds that ever went down due to a head gasket; I can't.[/QUOTE] My days of riding like that are long gone truth is head gasket leaks are common on many harleys that are ridden a lot, most people don't even notice them, except that it will backfire a bit. It happens because of the air cooling mostly, the rapid expansion and compression of the metal. Bikes are my primary means of transpo I actually have a Suzuki Burgman 650 that has almost 100 K miles all I have ever done to it are brakes tires and fluid changes....chicks like riding the Harley the first time, after that they always wanna go on the Burgman more comfy and quieter and burn guards on the pipes so no heat there...

I have been on my 2012 HD Road King Classic just about every day since spring. Love it!!
Its a 103 and i have a lot of work done to it trough Harley. 62 horses stock, got it up to 118. Now what I really notice is the way I drive at 43 is way different than the way I drove in my 20's. In my 20's, and riding a raced out rice rocket, it seemed that I would have a close call to a serious accident once a week. Speeding, splitting traffic at high speeds, Cars turning left in front of me, cars moving into my lane, etc. And now being 43 i don't do the dumb shit I did in my 20's. But now that I ride a very loud Harley, Im heard and felt by all of the cars around me. Cars split 20+ cars ahead of me before I reach them, because I am heard. Also since riding a Harley, I have had Zero close calls in the last 5 years. Knock on wood! Loud Bike, not being young, dumb and never going more than 10 miles over the sped limit has beed the safety difference maker from my experience. Just Dave

I am wondering what speed could be +- fatal in case of cars making a left and you crashing there? Lets say you drive at 50kmh and you are with your helmet and full gear.
Just wondering how many fatalities happen at city speed and driving with helmet/gear. |

The first time was around 45 mph and I wasn't wearing a helmet (CA didn't have a helmet law at the time, a lot of things changed here while I was away ) I was in jeans and a t-shirt. It cost me some knee issues when I put it through the passenger window and bent the frame. The second time I was going almost 60, I flew about three times the distance as the guy in the video and landed flat on my back, I didn't get up as fast as he did that time. Also in jeans and t-shirt, road rash won't kill you but shit if fucking STINGS! I also didn't get a single scratch on my helmet. The second one I feel in my lower back every single day, I quit riding for 20 years because of that accident. But then I realized that life was too short to worry about "what if it happened again?" So now I am a super defensive rider, but I still don't like riding in town in traffic. |

Yea< that way sucks! But now being 43, always ware jeans, all of my leather jackets have body armor inside, and a full face helmet. Don't care how hot it is, I ware my gear. And I ware chaps when I go cross country or long distances. When I was in my twenties, I wore shorts, wife beaters and tiny brain cup that was not really DOT approved. My life insurance and medical insurance is very high. Cant leave my kids with nothing because I like to ride. And I have been riding almost every day since spring. Love it!! Just Dave

They are great to learn on and if you lay it, no biggy, it's used. Motorcycle safety classes are also a great thing to do before you get on your own bike. They can cost around $200 for the weekend and you get Tons of information from it. Quote:
Again, depends on the size of the Cruiser and the Street Bike. Quote:
Don't make the mistake of buying a big Cube as a first bike, I believe 80% of fatal crashes happened to inexperienced Motorcyclists (got that from the Motorcycle Classe instructor) There is nothing wrong with driving a smaller Cube for a year or two.

Yeah, what about smaller bikes, they are somewhat heavy enough? Or crushing is not that common at all? Just a random thought as I was always wondering - I mean even if bike is 200 pounds it is still heavy, especially when it drops on you with some power.

if you lay your bike down, your leg most likely not get caught it in. yeah they weigh a decent amount, but it's not all located in one spot, spread out on the bike. if it just tips over and falls on you that will prolly hurt. but if you're riding and going down, the momentum will keep the bike going and you'll be separated pretty easily

Top, my Road King weighing in at almost 800 pounds vs the Honda at 350 pounds, one hell of a difference. The girl I'm dating is 5' 1" and weighs about 115. She has ridden since a kid, not bad but I wouldn't ride in the same lane at speed like I do with some friends. No way she could handle my bike because of the weight. She was riding an old Suzuki that kept breaking down, this is a 2012 Honda Rebel 250. We found it in Orlando, only 600 miles for $3000.00 plus tax. Bike was a starter bike for a man that decided motorcycle riding wasn't for him. They are inexpensive, get 80 miles a gallon, dependable as hell, parts available everywhere, easy to ride upright sitting position. edit, mine has a true dual exhaust and is pretty loud, hers sounds like a sewing machine lol. . |

Loads of good quality bikes on the market today, that fits the beginner driver. The Parallel twins from Honda, BMW and Kawasaki are great light and nible bikes, with a driving position that fits beginners well. They are fast enough to be your main bike forever, so dont think you miss out on the fun, just because you have below 100BHP
As many have said before; "its more fun to drive fast on a slow bike, than it is to drive slow on a fast" It's not always true, but most of the time it is. I only have one bike now (CBR1100 XX) but that is fun to drive all the time. |
