Chris C asked in SportsMotorcycle Racing · 1 decade ago

I want to get a motorcycle but what kind. A sport bike or cruiser?

I love the look and sound of a sport bike but Im wondering how much maintenice will be on it. If I get a cruiser shaft drive maintence aint as bad right? I just wondering out of the two which one is cheaper to own. Does a sport bike get just as good gas mileage as a cruiser or does cruiser get better? Also I plan on driving it alot I would like to hear about comfort to. Being hunched over on a crotch rocket doesnt look to comfy. My job is 44 miles away so a total of 88 miles everytime I drive to work. Also can you please recommend a good sport bike and cruiser used I should look for.

    A ninja 250 is a really comfortable bike that is easy to ride. Maintenance is extremely easy to take care of on this bike. About all you will need to do is adjust the chain, check the tire pressure and change the oil every 2,000 miles or so.

    i've got been using pastime motorcycles for a quick whilst now.. 2002 yamaha r6, 2003 honda 929rr, 2004 yamaha R1, 2001 cbr six hundred f4i, and my modern-day motorbike is a 2006 gsxr six hundred. i'm 19 years previous, and that i won't be in a position to journey for better than a million and a a million/2 hours on any of those motorcycles with out having off and stretching. It does very a lot on your back, legs, and maximum of all your wrists! My father has had a pair cruisers and a chopper, i've got rode all of them. with the aid of far the cruiser is the main comfortable journey. yet i would not commerce my pastime motorbike in for one. yet that's me. I extremely have that sporty sense and sacrifice convenience.

Or something to that quantity? If it have been me, i could be getting that CBR in a heartbeat and in no way finding back.. yet i visit tell you that isn't any longer the main comfortable journey interior the international. As for defense, it genuinely relies upon on the rider. There are no bumper benders on motorcycles, in case you get clipped your happening. And little question that is greater stable to be seen on a motorbike. you in basic terms ought to computer screen of each little thing this is occurring around you in any respect circumstances. stable good fortune on your selection, and notice you on the streets!

    The insurance cost should be considered as well, a sport bike has considerably higher rates where I am from.
