The Best Superbikes For Beginners: Entry-level Recommendations – Home Beaches Moto Blog BEST CYCLING BEGINS AND OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING YOUR FIRST BIKE
One of the most common questions we get from new riders is “What’s the best beginner bike?” This is not an easy question to answer because the truth is that there is no “best” bike for beginners. The best beginner bike will be determined by what suits YOU, and that varies wildly from person to person. The only thing we can say for sure is that your first bike should not be your dream bike. Leave it for your second or third bike. When buying your first motorcycle, here are some things to consider and some bike recommendations based on your needs.
The Best Superbikes For Beginners: Entry-level Recommendations
First, find out what style of motorcycles appeals to you. Sports bikes, cruisers, dual sport/adventure bikes, standard and naked are the basic categories. If you don’t have much choice, look at standard bikes, which are “all-in-one” bikes that are as generic as two wheels and an engine. Figuring out what style of bike you like will help you narrow down your search.

Another thing to consider is the type of riding you plan to do with your bike. If your goal is to go long distances, a sports bike would not be ideal. If you want to shred on the track, getting a cruiser is probably not the best idea (although I’ve definitely seen some cruisers on the track). Once again, determining the primary use of the bike will help you narrow down your choices.
Also consider your age, size and weight. If you’re 6 feet tall and over 200 pounds, a small 250cc bike might not be the best choice for you. Comfort on the bike is very important, so if your elbows are hitting your knees while riding, you haven’t made the right choice of bike.
Once you’ve narrowed down the style and size of bike you want, start browsing the Craigslist ads to see what kind of deal you can find on a used motorcycle. If your budget allows you can buy a new one, but given how much value a bike loses the moment it leaves the dealer’s lot, and given that for a new rider your first bike purchase is very short term as you are still learning and trying to figure it out you really want / want / like, we always recommend buying used first. If you’re worried about buying a bike that falls apart because you don’t know enough about bikes to make a good call, arrange a pre-purchase inspection at your local dealer or independent motorcycle shop. It is quite cheap and will allow you to make sure that you are buying a mechanically sound motorcycle.
Don’t be afraid to start small. The less you have to worry or fear about the bike, the more you can focus on yourself and your surroundings. It is possible to start with a big bike, but it will definitely slow down your learning process. Small bikes are cheap to buy and easy to sell because other beginners are always looking for them.

My initial thought about electric motorcycles was similar to that of many other motorcyclists… “Eww, electric”. After a few days of test riding the ZERO FXE, my opinion of electric bikes has completely changed.
The Italians sure know how to make beautiful bikes, don’t they? Although this bike wasn’t marketed as a race bike, considering it’s F3 800-derived engine, we were really interested in how the Supereveloce performed on the track.

When I was finally invited to test ride the Aprilia RS660 at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. But I was excited to create an unbiased opinion of the bike’s performance, uninfluenced by any obligations to the brand.
