A response to a few questions I have been receiving regarding whether it is best to start with a 250cc, 600cc, or greater motorcycle. I detail some of the important characteristics that must be considered when making the decision.

  • Hey dude I have a question. I'm 5'5 and 110 pounds. I really want to get a bike. My only experience on a bike is a motocross KX100. I was wondering if a '08 - 0'10 Kawasaki Ninja 250r would be a good starter bike for street wise?

  • @CrisHeat9x

    I think that the ninja 250 would be an excellent choice. It's a fun bike and is easy to maintain. Safe Rides.

  • Your helmet seems to be really quiet, what helmet is this?

  • @adugods, the helmet is a HJC CS-13.

  • hey I'm 14 and 6 feet tall would a ktm duke 125 be a right motorcycle to buy when i turn 16?

  • @Mrdiver8, That may be a good choice for you. As long as you take a training course and take our time learning to ride, you'll be just fine. Watched a few youtube vids about the ktm duke 125. Looks like a fun moto.

    Safe Rides.

  • Over here you have to get a 250cc bike to start with on your Leaners license

  • @Mrdiver8 Im 14 turning 15 im about 6 foot i got a 200cc bike for the trails not road legal

  • thanks man for giving these good tips i think this well help me choose the bike i need im 6'2 , 180lbs and i have a little experience on a 600rr so i think im going to buy a cbr 600rr or f4i

  • @mevd yeah that's what I keep hearing but what about a 600cc. Is that too much? Thnx in advance!

  • what bike have you got?

  • @DRUNKiiPANDA cbr 600 rr is a RACING bike. Just becouse some bikes are 600 doesn't mean that they weak or suited for beginners.

    That's propably one of the worst misconceptions people have then interpetating bikes just by their engine size. There a lot more impotant factors than that.

  • Hey! I'm 25, 5'9, 185lbs. With almost no experience. What would be a good starter bike?

    Thanks!

  • Thanks, very useful advice! :)
