But anyways. Does the BRC supply you with a bike? I only know one person with a bike and theres no way in hell he will let me touch it (friends step-dad). I think my mom would want me to take training courses and what not before i go out and spend some money on a bike.
Can someone give me some particular models for me to look at for my first bike? Preferably a suzuki. Also how many miles is a bike good for? Proply maintained |
First, KL, see
http://www.msf-usa.org, they have the specifics on your state licensing requirements and class information.
http://www.beginnerbikes.com has information for newbies on types and sizes of motorcycles. One motorcycle that makes an excellent beginner bike is the Suzuki LS650 Savage. It is a large single thumper (single cylinder) at 652 cc's that is very torquey but is easy to manage, but has some cruising capability. Suzuki has renamed it as the S40 for 2005.
At any rate if you like wrenching, motorcycles particularly Japanese ones depreciate heavily like cars, you should be able to find a used starter bike for say $1,000 to $2,500 if you are looking for decent cosmetics and good mechanical condition. Don't mind the age. When you are ready to move you, you will most likely be able to sell for what you paid for.
Riding a motorcycle is like riding a sports car, even a 250 can keep up well in city street traffic.
