If you just took your A2 card and are looking for a motorcycle of the big ones, this post interests you. As the experience is not exactly your forte, it is best to start with a transition motorcycle, with which you gain security and tranquility on both wheels.
Choosing your first big motorcycle is exciting, but it is not an easy decision. Above all, with the increasingly wide offer of the market. But if there is something you have to look for especially to learn to master the art of driving is that it is easy to handle.
Maybe the pocket for you is not a problem, so you do not have to settle for a small displacement motorcycle for a long time, although it is always advisable to make a good shoot before taking the next step.
It usually happens that the first motorcycle is not the motorcycle of our dreams. But it is much more reasonable not to start the house on the roof…. With the A2 in your hands, the horizon widens a lot. You have options for all tastes. Here we review the best big bikes for beginners:
Nacked:
It is one of the categories that have the most pull in the market given the attractiveness they have for their comfort, sporty aesthetics, ease of use and affordable price. We have the KTM 390 Duke (€ 5,459), Yamaha MT-03 (€ 5,249), Honda CB500F (€ 5,900) and CB300R (€ 5,000).
That you have a little more budget, the Ducati Monster 797 (€ 9,490) is the motorcycle for beginners of the Italian firm, with a 803 cc V-engine Desmodue, air-cooled, and a top-quality undercarriage.
Trail:
They are motorcycles derived from the "off-road", versatile, designed to be mounted both on the road and in the city. Motorcycles for everything. The BMW proposes the G 310 GS (€ 6,200), Kawasaki, the Versys-X300 (€ 6,160), and Suzuki launched last season the V-Strom 250 (€ 5,799). KTM and Yamaha are also preparing their proposals.
Crossover:
One of the most universal crossover motorcycles is the Honda NC700X (€ 8,000). Regardless of his style, his best bastion is practicality. It is a versatile motorcycle, suitable for everything, with a high level of stability and braking. One of its most characteristic points is the ample space of the compartment that it has in what seems to be the deposit in which you can perfectly store any integral helmet.
Another safe bet is the Suzuki SV650 (€ 6,699). Without too many luxuries or pretensions, just a 645 cc twin-cylinder engine in a simple and easy-to-use chassis.
Sport:
The sports are another of the most popular segments, hence almost all firms have taken affordable models, aggressive aesthetics, but light, without reaching 100 hp. Highlights: the YZF-R3 (€ 5,699) from Yamaha; the Ninja 400 (€ 6,385) from Kawasaki; the GSX-R250 (€ 5,340) from Suzuki, the CBR500R (€ 6,350) from Honda, and the RC 390 (€ 5,659) from KTM.
Offroad:
For the more adventurous, who do not care about the terrain they step on, there are brands that offer versatile offroad models that can be registered as Honda, with the CRF250 Rally (€ 6,000), or Royal Enfield, with the Himalayan dresser (€ 4,395) of 410 cc.
Retro:
If you prefer the classic style, you have the entire Triumph Street line, which is committed to offering drivers manageable and classy machines, with a 900 cc motorcycle: Twin (€ 9,200), Cup (€ 10,500) or Scrambler ( €10,800). You choose.
Ducati also presents simple bikes, with ease of use, without giving up its sporty touch. From the Scrambler 800 Icon (€ 8,990), with 6 different models (including Café Racer and Desert Sled), with its negligible 73 hp, to the Sixty2 (€ 7,790), with a 400 cc engine.
Custom:
But if what really takes you from sleep is to ride a Harley or an Indian, you must start by learning to master a lighter, smaller motorcycle, and gain in safety. In this case, the small custom are the ideal motorcycles to catch up.
Precisely Honda proposes the CBX500 Rebel (€ 6,200) with the sights set on a young audience, thanks to its twin-cylinder engine with a 471 cc parallel and 45 hp of power.
That motivates you and you can afford more, because one of the best options for your shooting may be the Indian Scout Sixty (€ 11,990), a large motorcycle, like his older brothers, but with a 6-speed gearbox and 999 cc . Or maybe the HD Sporster 1200 (€12,930), a unique machine in the purest American custom style.
Deciding on an easy-to-use motorcycle will allow you to identify your driving style and based on that, make a decision more suited to your tastes. Remember that what it is about is that you enjoy driving as safely as possible and that, after all, depends more on how quiet you are than on the motorcycle you are riding.
