How to choose right the first motorcycle?
Choosing and buying your first motorcycle in Ukraine is quite a difficult task, as the final decision will be influenced by many factors: budget, personal preferences, comfort and advantages of a specific model. For the most part, there are two types of buyers among newcomers: those who know exactly what motorcycle they want to buy, and those who are lost in the presented assortment of brands and models.
Modern motorcycles are created taking into account the features of the future riding area. Therefore, before choosing your first motorcycle, you need to decide where you are going to ride. If you are going to ride in the city, then road motorcycles will suit you. Outside the city, it is better to use off-road models. We suggest considering each type in more detail and highlighting the main features of each. So you will be able to choose a good first motorcycle for yourself.
Road motorcycles: main characteristics.
Road motorcycles are the best option when it comes to moving around the city and on the highway. Road motorcycles represent an extensive category of various models: classic, tourist, sports, cruisers. Among buyers, this type is the most common type of motorcycle. Beginners are advised to consider classic models, as they are light in weight, easy to manage and have moderate prices. We recommend paying attention to Bajaj Dominar 400, Geon Pantera N 200 and Bajaj Boxer BM 150 UG.
Types of motorcycles not intended for beginners:
- Touring motorcycles and cruisers are quite heavy and expensive. They are suitable for more experienced users for trips over long distances. It is better for beginners to use much lighter models.
- Sports bikes are road versions of racing bikes. The main features of this type are full fairings, rigid suspension and well-tuned engines. The main advantage of such technical support is high productivity. The disadvantage is the difficulty in handling, the weight of the motorcycle and the driver's position, which is not suitable for long trips. Sports motorcycles are bought mainly for street racing or track riding.
Off-road motorcycles: varieties and their features.
Off-road motorcycles are better suited for riding outside the city, on uneven terrain: forests, fields, uneven roads. Because they were specially created for off-road driving and long-distance racing.
The following types are distinguished in this category:
- enduro;
- cross country;
- pit bikes.
Enduro is a strong motorcycle that can withstand impacts on logs, boulders and other obstacles. This type of motorcycle is characterized by a number of specific features to avoid damage while driving. It is used for driving on rough terrain, forests and mountains. We offer to your attention Forte FT250GY-CBA, Loncin LX250GY-3 SX2 250 and Geon TerraX CB 250, 19/16 Off-Road, 2021.
Cross-country motorcycles are similar in design and appearance to enduro bikes, but are intended for cross-country racing due to more studded wheels.
Motorcycles for teenagers
Do you want to buy a motorcycle for your child? Then we recommend that you pay attention to the pit bike, since the presence of rights for this category is not mandatory. Even a 10-year-old child can sit behind the wheel of a pit bike. A pit bike is a light, small motorcycle for people weighing up to 130 kg. Pit bikes are not intended for public roads, so they do not need to be registered with the MREO. Pit bikes are much cheaper than, for example, enduro motorcycles. Depending on care and riding style, a pit bike can last up to 5 years or even longer. Good pit bike models are Monster 4T 125CC, BSE PH10L 125 Enduro and Geon X-Ride 150 Pro 17/14.
The main nuances that you should pay attention to when choosing your first motorcycle:
- Cost. Spending a large sum on the purchase of the first motorcycle on which you plan to gain experience riding is unwise. You should also not buy models that require significant costs for
maintenance and spare parts. - Cubage. We recommend choosing the first model with an engine volume of 200-250 cubic meters.
- Controllability. Until you have enough experience, it is better to choose light models with small dimensions.
- Saddle height:
- up to 800 mm — for people whose height is up to 1.70;
- 800-850 mm — for people with a height of 1.80;
- over 850 mm — for people with a height of 1.80 or more
