    Bike for beginner

    Hello guys:

    I've seen that many on this forum have bikes and im thinking on buying one, i have never ever tried riding a bike in the past so i'm very new... i'd like something between a sporty bike but at the same time badass looking, lets say for example the Harley V-Rod is pretty much what i like but a friend told me not to get that bike if its the first time im riding.

    All your suggestions will be fully appreciated

              No Harley is very "sporty". Either go for a cruiser or a Sportbike. Don't fuck around in the middle.

              If it's your first bike here's just a couple of suggestions to get started on.

              In the Sportsbike arena look at the CBR125RR and Ninja250. Yes they're on the small side but they're cheap and light. Don't be too afraid of the low ccs .. the 250 will spank most 600cc cruisers. If you think you can exercise the required restraint, i.e. you're emotionally and mentally mature enough, then you might consider going as large as say a Honda CBR600 f4i. They're plentifull, reliable and cheap. And they'll bitch slap a Harley.

              In the Cruiser arena I'd like at the 500CC Kawasaki Vulcan, 600CC Honda Shadow and 650CC Yamaha V star.

              Don't spend a lot of money on your first bike. It's often said that it's not if you'll drop your first bike but rather when.

              Good luck!

                      It comes down what bike is going to "fit" you the best. Some are longer, taller, wider, etc etc. You really need to narrow down what's going to be the best fit for you from whats available. Spend some time sitting on a few different bikes. From there you'll eliminate a bunch of options and hopefully just be left with a few to test.

                              i'd recommend not even buying a bike yet. sign up for your local motorcycle safety foundation beginner riders class, the one that supplies bikes. take that class, ride their bike, then come back and ask about bikes.

                                              it really is silly not to eh. but in all my biking years i've met/known a lot of peeps who get taught by their buddies and start off learning all the wrong things. it's a way bad way to learn.

Gotta make sure you keep the fear in you for a long time. I lost mine relatively quickly and got it scared back into me with a few close calls.

                                                                              I love my bike though, perfect fit for me, don't plan to sell her anytime soon.

                                                                                                          That's the best advice. I took the Harley Rider's Edge course and learned a lot. Even if you can, or think you can ride already, it's a good course.

                                                                                                                      I grew up riding quads and dirt bikes but had never been on a street bike until I bought this. A LOT different. Gotta make sure you keep the fear in you for a long time. I lost mine relatively quickly and got it scared back into me with a few close calls.

                                                                                                                      I love my bike though, perfect fit for me, don't plan to sell her anytime soon.

                                                                                                                              Personally, I think you are at the limit line for bikes, in that I honestly feel it is something that should be started when you are young, and preferably in the dirt. I know it worked for me as I rode dirt bikes for 3+ years before hitting the streets.

                                                                                                                              I don't think you can go slow on a Vmax unless you are pushing it or just coasting down hills.



                                                                                                                              Does not really look like a good place to learn. Start with something small, like a 125cc. I guess it would help to know how big you are.

A LOT different. Gotta make sure you keep the fear in you for a long time. I lost mine relatively quickly and got it scared back into me with a few close calls.

                                                                                                                                                                      No. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to get such a big sluggy bike if your primary interest is in power, speed, etc. Especially given that any of the litre class sportbikes will accelerate faster, brake harder, handle better and have a higher top speed. You've got to remember that the VMAX comes in at some 650+ pounds compared the 450ish of a sportbike.

                                                                                                                                                                      I guess I just don't see the point in trying to make a cruiser a sportbike. That's just me though.

I never used to like them at all.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Strangely enough I pretty much just stopped riding again. Sold my bike even at the end of the Summer. Not sure why I didn't get out on it much anymore. Used to love riding. I guess it's just fallen lower in my priorities. Well that and having only a few months of weather where it's actually enjoyable to ride each year.

                                                                                                                                                                                  I'm sure I'll get another bike someday and probably even stop picking sportbikes and go with some sort of a cruiser myself.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Maybe I'm just missing the point of the VMAX. I did check out a 2009 when I was last in the show room and I have to admit it sure looked nice.

Get a bike to learn on, say max 250cc, but i'd recommend 125cc. Keep it for a few months, learn the basics, move on to a 600cc bike, keep it for at least a year, after that you can start thinking what bike to get. Good luck.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  No you've got me all wrong. Obviously it's too much bike for a beginer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I'm just saying that I don't quite get the appeal of having all that power in a bike that's not ideally suited for using it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  When I say sluggish I'm coparing a 650 pound bike to 400 pound bikes, that's all. I guess I'm just kind of an either extreme sort of guy; All comfort or balls to the wall performance. Not too much for the gray area in the middle. Like I said, personal thing.
