What motorcycle would you recommend for a beginner?

Suzuki Gsx650f is a great starter bike. It has the handling of a sport bike, but the riding position of a sport tourer. While still scoring points for curb appeal. The engine is slightly less tuned than the Gsxr600, but you won't be able to tell. If you are doubling a lot, you will find that the slightly higher handlebar position make it much easier to maneuver, also the weight of a passenger on a true sport bike is braced by your wrists alone because you are in a lower position. All in all because of your height and weight you will find the Gsx650f a comfortable and easy bike to ride.

I possess a GS500F, and I've ridden a Ninja 250 - both one is an nice newbie motorbike. I've ridden approximately nine,000 miles and wouldn't have any urge to exchange my GS500F for whatever greater. The Ninja 250 is an particularly gentle motorbike, that is each well (turns extra with no trouble, and is less complicated to control and gain knowledge of on) and unhealthy (will get blown round by means of the wind somewhat extra). Either one will hold up with freeway speeds. The Ninja 500 is more often than not related to the GS500F (truthfully somewhat bit quicker) and in addition a well alternative. The Katana is not really as well a alternative; it isn't simplest strong ample to make studying extra tricky, however it is tremendously heavier. There are worse offerings, however you'll be able to do higher. My recommendation is to sit down at the Ninja 250 and 500 and a GS500F and spot which one is probably the most secure. Although if you are on a low funds, you would wish to only pass with the Ninja 250 as it is the so much affordable - in fee, coverage, and gasoline mileage.

You left a lot of info out...How old are you/? Do you have a drivers license? Is this for the street or dirt riding? What are you going to do with the bike? Ride it to school, on trips for your mom and dad? If you're 16 or older and have a drivers license and can get motorcycle qualified you should start out on a 250cc or 350cc dual purpose bike..If you are under 16 and without a license and are going to ride it around in the dirt or up and down the street for fun you should start out with a smaller bike 90cc-175cc or there abouts to practice on. BUT be sure that in any thing you might get WEAR the proper gear,helmet,hard shoes, long pants, gloves etc. DON'T what to see anyone hurt and if you do get hurt you may never get on another motorcycle again..Good luck!! I've been riding for 50 years and its great..

First of all I would try to talk you out of it. If you still want to I would make sure you always wear a helmet and drive like people don't see you. They don't see you.

I'm partial to the old Honda CB's. The two cylinder CB350 and CB350 four cylinder give you a feeling of what motorcycle riding should be. They are entry level machines and very appealing to the eye. These bikes were produced in the 1970's. I'm telling you, your life will be forever changed when introduced to this fabulous era of motorcycles.

Shop around, be picky, there are plenty of well kept CB Honda's out there. You should be able to find one in the $1000 TO $1500 range. Be safe!

Basically any bike you feel comfortable riding on and can control. I could tell you to go with lower cc's so there is less torque, but you control that with the twist of the wrist so its a moot point. I started on gsxr 750, then bought a zx-14 and vtx 1300. I still have and ride all 3, go with what you feel comfortable on and go from there.

a five hundred would be good but the bike should fit you comfortably not squeezed in the bike if you will, crock rockets are better for shorter guys

If you love to ride a cruiser bike then go for VTX1300 Line.
