There have always been many people who want to join the aesthetics of riding two-wheeled vehicles with a motor, which is not surprising, because speed, freedom of movement and the ability to ride off-road attracts many.
But besides the spirit of freedom and the feeling of belonging to the biker culture, motorcycles have a very practical use. This is the ability to freely maneuver between rows of cars in traffic jams, allowing you to quickly get to the right place or, for example, choosing an off-road bike, ride it even in the wilderness.
However, when operating such an unsafe vehicle, you should be careful and follow the necessary safety regulations. Not to mention the fact that you need to go to a motorcycle school and get a license.
In today's article we will look at a number of motorcycle models that are well suited for beginners and give some tips on choosing them.
Where to start looking for your first motorcycle?
With an understanding of two things. The first thing is your safety! The second is comfort. Both are impossible if you don’t understand why you need a motorcycle! After all, motorcycle classes are not an extra line in the PTS, but an important criterion in determining applicability.
Where, who and with whom will travel
Here are the basic questions you need to answer for yourself to ensure you understand which motorcycle to buy and not regret your choice. Let's start with the last one - with whom.
With no one. If you are just starting to master motorcycle technology, then wait a while with passengers. After all, the weight distribution and inertia of a motorcycle in the presence of a passenger are completely different, plus, there is a high probability of inappropriate behavior of the passenger. And until you learn to confidently handle a bike, it is strictly not recommended to ride someone. Therefore, when choosing the first model, first of all you need to look at your own comfort, and not about the large back seat or its tilt in your direction (so that the girl would snuggle closer).
Ratio between motorcycle and driver dimensions
Even a technically ideal vehicle will be difficult to drive if the rider is not comfortable. You must take into account your own anthropometry. Therefore, the rule “the lighter and smaller, the better for a beginner” is not entirely correct - for a two-meter and one hundred kilogram “guy” riding some “Honda Dio” will be uncomfortable and even dangerous.
Free, correct fit (and different classes have their own), trouble-free control of the controls, good visibility (including from the mirrors), lack of stiffness and pressure, but no unnecessary movements in the saddle, on the pegs and levers - this is the required minimum . The maximum is when you also visually like the motorcycle itself and the way you look on it, because thoughts about being comical do not contribute to attentiveness. The ideal is if all this is combined with safety precautions.
Each motorcycle has its own roads
If a motorcycle is necessary for everyday driving around the city, then a small small-capacity motorcycle will be “the thing.” On a moped or scooter it will be easy to “break through” the taffy, just park and maneuver, but on the contrary, it will be difficult to overheat even a “fifty kopeck” over short distances. If the intended “habitat of the iron horse” is country roads, dirt roads, areas with a large number of curbs, different types of surfaces, then it makes sense to look at models with high ground clearance, decent suspension travel and large wheels. The worse the roads, the more “specialized” the motorcycle should be. For medium and long distances, it is better to choose models with good wind protection and a low center of gravity.
Hold off on buying a sportbike
Wind in your face, adrenaline, mobility and maneuverability, attention of the opposite sex - all this can be obtained on any motorcycle. But when motorcycling experience is limited to a motor school site or country dirt roads, there is no need to rush. That is, a sports motorcycle for beginners is definitely a bad choice. Attention, muscle memory, the ability to determine the situation in a split second and respond correctly to it come with time. But a sports motorcycle does not give it and does not forgive mistakes, and not only yours - poor-quality coating, unsuitable fluids, unqualified service (and qualified service costs a pretty penny, which we will talk about later) - all this needs to be taken into account.
The largest number of accidents on city streets and highways involving motorcyclists occurs with newcomers to “sports”!
Nobody forbids mastering a sportbike from scratch. But it’s better to do this on a motorcycle track, under the supervision of an experienced instructor, gaining road experience on a calmer vehicle. If absolutely not, then let us remind you that today there are enough motorcycles and scooters with good dynamics, but not so sensitive accelerator and some limitation of power and speed, stylized as “sports”. For the first time they will be enough, and then you can take more serious equipment
Suzuki Bandit 650 SA
Despite the provocative name, driving the “bandit” is not at all difficult: the motorcycle is quite friendly and predictable, but it will not tolerate familiarity like the Yamaha YBR 125. There's no point in fiddling with the throttle - if you unscrew it a little more than necessary, the 650 cc bike, of course, won't rear up, but it will take off more than convincingly. Shooting dashingly from traffic lights is a skill that comes with experience.
The peppy and dynamic engine is sufficient for moving around in a metropolis, the gearbox shifts gears in a sporty manner, the brakes are perfectly balanced and will not throw you over the steering wheel if you accidentally hit the front brake lever. All this, as well as the modest dimensions of the motorcycle, make the Bandit the best spin in city traffic jams for a beginner.
Separately, I would like to note the magnificent sound of the muffler - at low speeds it produces a booming, rumbling bass, gradually turning into a primitive roar: if you actively unscrew the throttle, other road users will definitely hear you, and for your safety this is only a plus. It will also benefit from the presence of ABS already in the basic configuration, which will reduce your chances of falling - during the experiment, I managed to get the wheel to lock only during sharp braking on dry asphalt. And the large mirror flaps provide excellent visibility.
“Bandit” has some minor, but still shortcomings. It is heavy - with a full tank the weight of the motorcycle reaches 250 kg. I had to feel this fully when I forgot to put the bike on the stand in the parking lot. Caught him, almost tearing his back off. Another minus is the lack of a gear engaged indicator. On a motorcycle worth 400 thousand rubles, Suzuki engineers could have provided such convenient little things.
Choose...
When choosing your first motorcycle in the showroom, be guided by four criteria.
1. Height.
Sit on a motorcycle and see if it's too big for you: the height of your first bike should allow you to stand firmly on the ground with both feet. If you can only touch the ground with your toes, it’s better to choose something lower, even if you really like this device.
2. Weight.
While sitting on the motorcycle, take it off the stand and try to ride it forward and backward a few meters, and then get off it and do the same while standing on the side. If rolling is very difficult, it means the bike is too heavy for you.
3. Landing.
Sit on the motorcycle, standing on the steps, and take a working position: feet on the steps, hands on the handlebars. Sit like this for a few minutes and you can even fart with your tongue, imitating the roar of a motor. If you are simply uncomfortable - your arms are tense, your back is too bent and stiff, the gearshift foot is located too close to the footrest and clings to your boot - consider another option.
4. Cubic capacity.
Regardless of what class of motorcycles you like, at first you should never chase a large engine capacity and horsepower, so as not to doom your relatives to crazy expenses for your funeral or, which is much more expensive and more painful, treatment. In the case of classics, a volume of 650 cm3 is your ceiling.
... AND DEFEND YOURSELF!
The motorcycle itself is not a cheap pleasure. And if you have the required amount to purchase it, congratulations and we hasten to surprise you - add about 50 thousand rubles to it for protective equipment, without which you cannot drive! A helmet, motorcycle boots, a jacket with protective inserts, motorcycle pants and gloves - all this must be on you when leaving the garage. And if you think it’s too hot outside to ride in full protective gear, then it’s simply too hot to ride a motorcycle today.
How much does it cost to own a motorcycle?
And now we are not talking about the price of a specific model. Even absolutely sane people, when determining which motorcycle is best to buy for a beginner, forget that money for the purchase is not the last item of expenditure. When planning to join the motorcycle fraternity, you need to remember that you will also need money for:
- Training at a motorcycle school and obtaining a license
- Regular motorcycle maintenance (the more fashionable and modern the motorcycle, the more expensive)
- Proper storage and seasonal canning (if climatic conditions require it)
- Periodic registration of insurance
- Purchasing quality equipment
None of these points should be ignored or tried to save too much!
Yes, a normal helmet or jacket costs from 9,000-11,000 rubles each, and obtaining a category “A” driver’s license in Moscow will cost 15,000 rubles or even more. But a one-time fine for driving without a license costs 8,000-16,000 rubles, and 2,000 rubles. cast for just one finger.
Not always, but many require additional expenses:
- Protective bars (sliders) that will protect the rider and reduce the cost of repairs after a fall (and you will fall, believe me, bruises, contusions and more serious injuries for those who have been in the saddle for many years)
- Lighting equipment and mirrors - not only budget, but also expensive models cannot always boast of the ideality of these design elements, plus, we remember about personal anthropometry
- Cases and trunks - if you need to carry something, but the standard equipment is insufficient
- Secure parking – not everyone has their own garage and a space in the official parking lot
Attention Muscovites and guests!
Parking of two-wheeled motor vehicles in city paid parking lots is free. But this does not mean that you will not have to pay for violating traffic rules regarding placing a motorcycle in a temporary parking lot! And leaving a motorcycle for a long time somewhere in the yard unattended is not a good idea.
Yamaha YBR 125
This motorcycle would be worth honoring and bowing to its tires: it is the legendary “ebrik” that is the main sufferer and sacrifice that many motorcyclists make on the path to mastery. The number of injuries that motorcycle school students and self-taught students inflict on this Yamaha is incalculable.
Strictly speaking, this is the ideal option for a teapot: light and low-power (weight - 108 kg, engine capacity - 125 cm3, power - 11 hp), the motorcycle is very friendly and obedient to control, easily forgives most mistakes of a novice driver and fits into any crack in traffic.
Also, importantly, the YBR 125 is unpretentious in maintenance and is very affordable - a new “ebrik” from different dealers costs from 78 to 82 thousand rubles). The disadvantages of this motorcycle are the inconvenient fit for bikers taller than 180 cm (with my 190 cm, I began to go crazy already by the tenth kilometer of the journey - my legs, which were pulled up almost to the chest, became terribly numb) and it is too unassuming in appearance - it feels organic on the “ribs” "Probably only couriers are capable of
What are the classes of motorcycles?
If all of the above doesn’t scare you and the question of how to choose your first motorcycle is still relevant for you, it’s time to get acquainted with the classes of two-wheeled vehicles, because they are the ones who determine applicability.
Road motorcycles
"Classics of the genre". Their design is as versatile as possible, and such a motorcycle can be ridden around the city, on the highway, and, with some luck, even on off-road dirt roads. Simplicity and convenience of controls, the most upright landing, mostly average size, power and dynamics, although there are “slopes” up and down. They often have standard safety features and small glove compartments for tools. It is almost always possible to install additional components, such as luggage racks, wardrobe trunks, cigarette lighters, and so on.
Please note that in recent years, “road bikes” have begun to be styled as sportbikes and “street bikes” with the help of a plastic or metal body kit, but the character of such models and design features will not allow them to fully “chase” or stunt. So if you are crazy about “sports”, but are a neophyte in the motorcycle world, this is a good alternative for the first season.
Cruisers
This class and its variety, choppers, are associated with the concept of “bikers” and are often called “Harleys” by the domestic public. A loose fit, an abundance of chrome, smooth and impressive contours, a solid size, a low center of gravity, and often wheels of different diameters and widths prevent them from being confused with anything else. Heavy cruisers are designed for quiet driving over long distances, but their medium- and small-capacity versions are quite suitable for daily use.
Another thing is that the impressive size, weight and landing features can create some difficulties for a beginner, especially in the city. Therefore, if you are in love with this class, we recommend starting with lighter and simpler models, especially since selling them on the secondary market will not be a problem later.
Scooter
Their main technical and visual feature is the hooded body and the power unit shifted to the rear wheel. Together, this allows you to protect the driver, passenger and units from splashes and wind, as well as provide luggage space, which is sometimes quite impressive. But the skin is mostly plastic, suffers from stones and debris flying from the road, and cracks from vibrations, which significantly spoils the visual appeal. Wheel sizes vary from 10 inches on small models to 13-15 inches on maxi scooters
Most modern models are equipped with a variator, that is, there is no need to change gears. And if the goal is to get comfortable on the road, to get used to the presence of other road users, then this is the best motorcycle for beginners, especially considering the variety of sizes and characteristics.
Scooteretta
A kind of hybrid of a light road bike and a scooter. Most models have a semi-automatic transmission (there is a switch, but no clutch lever), wheels with a diameter of 16-17 inches, a motorcycle engine with a volume of 50-125 cm3, a chain drive and a partially hooded body.
Honda Cuper Cab, its most famous clone - Viper Active and many of its Chinese brothers are very popular in the periphery, guaranteeing low fuel consumption and relatively calm overcoming of any roads, even dirt tracks.
Off-road motorcycles
Long-travel suspension, “serious” large-diameter tires, significant ground clearance - everything you need to not pay attention to the surface and the presence of the road as a whole. But full-fledged cross-country motorcycles and “hard enduro” are not intended for riding on public roads. They have high windage, short service life, terrible stability on flat hard surfaces, a small tank and low cruising speed.
You should choose a “clean” SUV as your first motorcycle only when you strive to conquer “virgin lands” on a regular basis or live in the wilderness. But, in the category there are “civilian” versions - universal motorcycles with less cross-country ability, but more suitable for developed roads. And most importantly, such models are equipped with all the necessary lighting equipment and are certified.
Sportbikes
We have already said that a sports motorcycle is suitable for a beginner only if it is mastered on an equipped track and under the supervision of an experienced instructor. Anything that can rightfully be called a sportbike is too powerful, fast, heavy and unsafe (arch bars and sliders are absent here, and often impossible even as an option).
Additionally, true sports bikes are often made with expensive materials and technology, and their initial cost is much higher than most other classes. And due to the high risk of falls, we strongly do not recommend buying such a bike first - even if everything ends well for the owner, thoughts about the cost of repairs will discourage the love of motor riding for a long time.
Tourers
Touring motorcycles are not the best choice as a first choice. With a lot of advantages, an attractive appearance, and a bunch of useful options, they have two serious drawbacks for beginners - very heavy weight and an extremely “toothy” price tag. The class is divided into three types according to purpose and use:
- Luxury tourers – for long distances and ideal surfaces.
- Tour-enduro – off-road motorcycles for “green tourism” (the large weight of two wheels does not allow such equipment to be a full-fledged “all-terrain vehicle”);
- Sports-touring motorcycles are a hybrid of a tourist, a cruiser and a sportbike, which can cost the same as all of them combined.
But, since many people ride a motorcycle for long trips and a sense of freedom, we will still include a couple of “adequate” models in our rating of motorcycles for beginners.
Harley Davidson 883L (Low)
The Harley Davidson and the Honda Shadow have a lot in common, but Harley is considered a niche motorcycle due to its low-slung position, which is why this motorcycle is very popular among female bikers. But on the other hand, this Harley has very little ground clearance, so when simply turning at an intersection you can get your footrest caught on the asphalt, so you still need to get used to it.
It will also be interesting: Izh Planet 3 - the famous Soviet workhorse
But in general, the Harley Davidson 883L is a very loyal machine towards the biker. By purchasing this device, you will not spend your money in vain.
TOP 10 best motorcycles for a beginner in 2021
Due to differences in classes, as well as the fact that everyone’s financial capabilities are different, we tried to form our TOP motorcycles for beginners based on a balance of criteria such as stylistic preferences, price and technical characteristics. Moreover, the last point does not imply the best performance in its class, but its optimality for those who are just learning to drive a motorcycle or have minimal experience. And we looked for such “cars” based on a couple per type - a budget option and a more expensive model, as well as, if possible, the closest alternatives. So, let's go have a look...
Yamaha YBR125
Yamaha began producing this lightweight, small-capacity road motorcycle back in 2004, and to date, 4 generations have been presented. This is a truly universal model that will be easy for a beginner to handle, even if she is a fragile girl. If we take into account reliability, controllability, stability, convenience and dynamism, then this is the best that a beginner can buy with only 72,000 rubles (on the secondary market).
But it’s not for nothing that “Yubrik” is called so affectionately; for a large guy or man it will not be entirely comfortable, so if you have dimensions of 185 cm, 90 kg and have an additional 35,000 rubles in reserve, we advise you to take a closer look at its direct competitor - updated Honda CB125. It is slightly larger, similar in design and characteristics (torque is even slightly larger), and also has a very useful feature for a beginner - a gear indicator (shows not only “neutral”, but also a specific gear).
Bajaj Dominar 400
In the heavier and more expensive segment, the competition is much higher, but the product of the Indian concern is more suitable for a beginner due to its relatively calm nature (when compared with analogues of the KTM series). Last year, the engine of this model received two camshafts and became “heavier” to 40 hp. at 35 N/m. The exhaust system was adjusted, a 43-mm upside-down fork was installed, and the instrument panel was modified. In good condition, you can try to find such a used Bajaj for 230,000-250,000 rubles.
Accordingly, the main competitor of “Dominar” in the road motorcycle category – the BMW G310R, with a cost of 72,000-85,000 rubles more and much more expensive maintenance, can now rely only on its own “branding” and... still a slightly higher quality assembly.
Honda PCX150
Scooters are a very difficult category to choose. The abundance of manufacturers and the incredible variety of characteristics, as well as regular updates, make any rating subjective and of little relevance. But, if you remember the price, characteristics “for a beginner,” and also focus only on models that have already proven themselves, then you can settle on this Honda for 180,000-220,000 rubles. No longer a small-capacity vehicle, but not yet a “sofa”, thanks to the 14 wheels, this “Maksik” feels great in the city and suburbs, where a 150 cc engine can accelerate it to 120 km/h, and water cooling will prevent overheating.
An alternative in the category could be: an inexpensive fuel-injected Honda Pantheon 150 (if you can find this old model in acceptable condition); slightly more expensive than the Yamaha NM-X125.
Piaggio MP3300
Among the more expensive scooters aimed at a beginner, it would be right to highlight this Italian model with a slightly futuristic design. Its special feature is two wheels at the front, which, due to the special suspension design, can move at different levels and provide excellent stability. Although this is a tricycle, the wheels are located close together, so maneuverability and maneuverability in the city are excellent. The cruising speed of the 300 cc version on the highway is about 110-120 km/h, which is not very convenient on highways, but overall it is enough. The cost of an MP3, depending on the year and condition, fluctuates around 215,000 rubles for a used 250 and above.
If you believe the rumors about the bad behavior of such “undertrikes”, pay attention to the neo-retro Vespa GTS Super 300 IE for the same money or the SYM Joymax 300 (about 72,000 rubles cheaper).
Honda Steed 400/600
Choosing a cruiser for a beginner is even more difficult than choosing a scooter. Here the weight of the motorcycle, and therefore the confidence in driving without experience, directly depends on the cubic capacity. At the same time, small-capacity cruisers are such only in name and appearance, but in reality, the same road cruisers with lower and higher heights are definitely not suitable. But the Steed from HONDA is something, thanks to its incredible reliability and very low seat height. This motorcycle is also very popular because it can be tuned endlessly. Production ended in the early 2000s, but with proper care and maintenance, a 40-year-old Honda Steed is not a problem, and you can buy such a device from 180,000 rubles.
The design of the motorcycle is quite comfortable for people with different anthropometry. But if for some reason you don’t really like this model, then you can always choose something from the range that is a little more expensive - Yamaha Virago or DragStar.
Kawasaki Vulcan S
For many novice motorcyclists, one of the main problems is starting. We get lost surrounded by cars, we are afraid of stalling at a traffic light, we worry about it and... we stall when it turns green. The high-speed cruiser “Vulcan” can start with virtually no throttle, which will add confidence to the beginner, and the ABS system (optional) will forgive mistakes when braking. If you consider that a brand new 650 cc Kawasaki, along with all its advantages, costs “only” 540,000-580,000 rubles, then you can take a closer look at representatives of the same price and power range of the Suzuki Intruder series or the “shadow” (Honda Shadow ). And for fans of the most famous name in the cruiser/chopper category, we recommend the relatively new Harley-Davidson Street 750.
Yamaha WR250R
An instructor should tell you how to choose an off-road motorcycle. But the presented soft-enduro, a “civilian” version of a lightweight cross-country motorcycle, is certainly suitable even for a beginner. This lightweight bike, with good handling and water cooling, is unlikely to jump over logs or climb rocks, but it rides great on light off-road conditions and allows you to practice the necessary skills. At the same time, there won’t be any particular problems on a track with a hard, even surface. Plus, this model has a wide variety of family, over time you can switch to the WR250F hard or WR250X motard. The cost of a used motorcycle in good condition is from 200,000 rubles.
Suzuki RM-Z450
A cross-country motorcycle with a fairly calm character for 450 cc. It is unlikely that you will be able to win immediately and against everyone at motocross competitions with it, but you can definitely become a confident user of this type of equipment. For a beginner, it’s better to take the version after 2005, when the model was equipped with an improved engine with fuel injection and a 5-speed gearbox. They also improved the chassis, suspension and lightened the frame. The average price of a “cross bike” in recent years is up to 720,000 rubles; a used one can be found for half the price. Main competitors: Honda CRF450R, Kawasaki KX450F and Yamaha YZ450F
CF-Moto 650 TK
A category such as budget motorcycles for beginners in the touring class might be an unattainable dream. However, the Chinese motorcycle industry, that part of it that makes (relatively) normal equipment, comes to the rescue. Good endurance, well-thought-out design, ABS is already in the database, a lot of spare parts stores in Russia, the world and the Internet, and a price of about 400,000 rubles will allow you to start mastering motorcycle routes for thousands of kilometers (or at least hundreds) at once. The main thing is not to spare money on maintenance.
We find it difficult to name something similar in this class that is equally reliable, inexpensive and controllable!
Kawasaki Versys 650, BMW F800GT and Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa
If the budget is not limited, then the choice of a touring motorcycle will depend on the intended routes and preferred riding style. Therefore, in this category we present you with three options to choose from - enduro tour for 600,000-650,000 rubles, classic tour for 720,000 and sports tour for 1,080,000 rubles. respectively. Listing the advantages of these models is long and tedious, but there is a lot of information about them on the Internet, so you can choose the type that you like and carefully study the characteristics and reviews.
Or go off the beaten path and ride the Honda Gold Wing, although choosing a roughly 400-kilogram motorcycle as your first choice requires considerable size and strength, or an enormous ego.
Honda NT700V
Next, the Honda NT700V, which is considered one of the most expensive motorcycles, since the manufacturer has collected all the best qualities of motorcycles together, which is why this device is very attractive for both experienced bikers and beginners.
The seat height is 80.5 cm, which is perfect for a biker of average height, and will give a beginner the opportunity to lean on the ground if necessary. But the weight of the NT700V is quite large - about 255 kg. For example, the Yamaha R1 is a sport bike with a 1000 cc engine weighing 206 kg. But on the other hand, for a heavy touring bike with a driveshaft, this weight is normal.
The driveshaft is a major advantage, because motorcycles with a driveshaft do not require frequent maintenance compared to motorcycles with a chain drive.
The engine capacity is 680cc, liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder, V-shaped injection. This motorcycle rides great both in the city and on the highway. True, the Honda NT700V does not have a particularly aggressive look, but all other characteristics are at a very high level.

Which motorcycles are better not to buy?
We won’t say categorically that a beginner won’t be able to handle any particular motorcycle. After all, in addition to objective factors, there are also subjective ones, for example, one’s own perseverance. Quite a few experienced motorcyclists started their journey with heavy “Urals” without a sidecar, powerful “one and a half trucks” scattered along the road from the interior of cheap “Chinese” cars or always sick “Voskhods”. And besides luck, there is a comparison. Example - the Honda Rebel is considered the most unsuccessful model of the brand in its class, but at the same time it will give odds to many representatives of the global automobile industry, and not only the Asian “no-names” and the Soviet “oldies”. Therefore, our small anti-rating is more of a recommendation that will help make choosing your first motorcycle a little easier.
- At least for the first time, forget about overly powerful and (or) heavy motorcycles, as well as those on which you feel like a circus strongman on a three-wheeled “Gnome”. In both cases, it will be difficult to cope with the technique, but it will be easy to “knock off the settings,” that is, to acquire the wrong skill.
- You should not purchase retro models for learning to ride a motorcycle, even if at one time they were considered the best in the world. Over 30 years, even with good care, the highest quality materials have already lost their margin of safety, but it is very difficult to find spare parts for equipment that has long been discontinued, and with constant downtime, it will take more than one season to gain and consolidate experience.
- Do not sacrifice quality for the sake of cost, unless you set yourself the goal of becoming not a motorcyclist, but a general-purpose mechanic. Constant repairs will take up money and time, and thoughts about the high probability of breakdown will deprive you of confidence on the road. In the first season you should only think about riding!
"China moto" against the global motorcycle industry
Today there are a lot of high-quality “Made in China” models. Moreover, to reduce the cost of production, a number of famous brands assemble some series in the Middle Kingdom, but at the same time, the quality and its control at such “Chinese enterprises are no worse than in Japan, Europe or the USA. Therefore, it is quite possible to consider a Chinese motorcycle as a training one if it is well assembled, and the brand is already known and has proven itself well.
Used vs new motorcycles
It's a lottery anyway. On the one hand, a bike that had already run should have shown all its disadvantages, on the other hand, it was not a fact, nor was it true that they had been eliminated. Therefore, when you only have enough money for a used one, it is better to borrow from your good friends, or invite a friend (or a paid consultant) who understands a particular model to view it.
In conclusion, we remind you that we and our article in no way claim to be the “ultimate truth.” Our goal is to warn novice riders about possible difficulties and mistakes, sharing the experience of those who have ridden a little more than others on two wheels. And we hope that we have helped you, at least a little, including deciding on the contenders for the title of “your first motorcycle.” We are waiting for comments and suggestions regarding new publications...
9) Buell Blast
Many expert experts, describing this motorcycle, call its motorcycle design the most boring of all ever created in motorcycle technology.
Yes, and here we must admit that the appearance of this Buell Blast really leaves much to be desired. But no one can argue with the fact that this motorcycle is still not a bad bike from the technical side of the issue and is perfect for any novice beginner. The riding position of the bike is simply excellent. But the truth is that the 500cc single-cylinder engine does not have very much torque.
