If its your first bike stay small If your a little guy under 150#s dint buy a 750cc or bigger bike, check out a 600 cc. during the daytime ALWAYS ride with your high beam on. And remember when you are on a bike NOBODY sees you ,you gotta be careful at green lights and always ride in the left track of the road. Just like you are driving in a car. If you ride the middle you get all the oil that leak from cars and if you ride the right track the cars in front will not see you. Ride the lines. Be safe never let the bike ride you. some people get on and just drive like crazy letting the bike do the work. Good tires are a must. good tread on the back tire. after a season of riding the front tire will start to crown...almost come to a point on the middle of the tire, this happens from taking turns. Get new tires. I have been riding for 30 years. I dint ride when the road is wet if i can avoid it. and if you ever break down don't treat the bike like a car and just leave it. push the bike. Keep the bike clean but DO NOT armor all the seat, i found this out years ago I took off and almost slide off the seat.

Do I have to hold the clutch to switch gears?


Helmets...do not buy cheap ! anything under $150.00 is crap. an d if you just drop your helmet on the ground you will damage it and make it less safe, they have "cones" that collapse if dropped. dont ride in shorts and get a leather jacket. road rash hurts, i have the scars to prove it. Remember, every car out there wants to hit you, you have to ride thinking like that. Dont take people for rides until you know what you are doing. I rode crazy when i was younger, I split up with a guy i was riding with, he went one way i went another. Just before that we were racing around doing over 100 mph on rt 95 in philly. Just after we went our different ways he was still riding crazy and fast. not enen 5 minutes past ans he ran into the back of a dump truck at over 90 miles an hour. They picked up some body parts with a shovel. He was new to riding and becasue i was driving crazy with him he kept riding that way and he died. I spent many years feeling like i killed him. Just be safe...VERY SAFE

I would try a moped, and if you like that, then step up to a dirt bike, and if you like that, then maybe try a Honda cbr 600.

What bike would you recomend ???


buy a cheap reasonable condition bike CB/ CD.. 250 honda.
or any of the other bikes from japan that do not have a monstrouse amount of power.Suzuki 650 Savage would be an ok bike to learn on...All the newer 250 sports bikes have enough power to kill someone without expierience...

Don't waste money on anything less than 600cc. You will just sell it or trade it in as soon as you get sick of it (3 months, max)

Can i street legal a atv ?

For on road anything around a 600 or less is adequate for a first bike, for offroad a 250 or 350 is enough power for a beginner. Price no object I'd be looking at a Buell. Price an object, look for a reasonably new 2nd hand bike, either a cross or a city cross. They dont have a lot of extra weight so a smaller engine will still give lots of pep.

Whats the best 250cc capacity bike for a tall person? I am 6'3" I need the largest framed bike possible.


Basically ... look at the bikes at a riding school.
