i’m interested to have a motorcycle. i’m 20, where do i start? what bikes are good for a novice?
also, what is the process of getting certified, and where to get training. i’m not totally rich though, haha…so what bikes are fast, but not too fast and that’s a sport model bike, not like the harley Davidson type of models. i live around the east bay, in the bay area of cali. help? and how much? plus my parents are totally against this…haha…
Take an MSF/Riders’ Edge course and learn the basics on the program’s motorcycles – that way you won’t ding your own if you happen to drop it. Fast but not too fast? Interesting question. Probably something in the 500cc range or so would work but there are so many variables that it’s almost impossible to cover in detail here. Some of today’s 600cc sport bikes would run and hide for the liter-bikes of 20 years ago, so size isn’t an absolute indicator of performance. Take a course, discuss it with your rider coaches – they will probably have some good suggestions.
