What Is A Good Beginner Motorcycle

Every motorcycle rider has to start somewhere. Starting your riding career is an exciting endeavor, and with the correct motorcycle, you are in for an immediate treat. 

The first thing every beginning motorcyclist should do is take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. You will learn the dos and don’ts of riding. There will also be many essential safety tips. Once you have completed a course, it is time to find your motorcycle. So, what makes a good beginner motorcycle? There are many factors to consider.

  • What type of road will you be riding on? Asphalt? A dirt track? Do you want to ride on rocky roads? Are you planning on going fast or cruising along the highway? These factors matter when choosing the right motorcycle.
  • Find a motorcycle that fits your size. Look for a motorcycle with an adjustable seat.
  • The weight of your motorcycle matters. You want to avoid picking up a 600-pound motorcycle if you are a beginner. 
  • The engine size comes into play as well. If the engine is too powerful for you to handle, it can be difficult to ride your motorcycle. There are various lightweight motorcycles in our BMW Motorcycle inventory.
