Do motorcycles do well in snow?

Question:


Answers:

Is a Hyosung 250 a good bike?

Not really. At least not when set up for summer. I didn't get the Honda (with the studded tire) going, so I'm still on the HD. The factory tire was ok for summer, but stinks for winter. I will be using something different next year. The avatar is my ride at the end of the driveway. Yes, that's snow. And after yesterday, there's a lot more.

Giving you the benefit of my personal experineces,,,dont let anyone tell you that a motor cycle cannot be rode in the snow or on ice,,,i have rode many winters on my motorcycles,,and i've never come off my bikes.
I've also never had an accident with any of my bikes,,and i'm considered to be a real mad man on two wheels,,or at least i used to be.
Other people would point and stare,,and have all kinds of negative things to say,,,,,,,but i never once seen any of the
nay sayers try it themselves.

I've never ridden a motorcycle and I'm 30 years old. What would be the right type of bike for me to learn on?

You appear to be speculating the purchase of a street bike. Summer weather and dry roads and perfect for bikes, lots of rubber to road grip. But water or snow or ice will take the grip your tires have with the road away. It is in low grip situations where you will lose control. By lose control, I mean no steering and no breaking. You lose these two things that are crucial to being able to keep you safe on the road.

Can you please give me detailed instructions how to jump start my motorcycle 2004 gsx r suzuki 600?


Motorcycles are not meant for low grip situations. So to blunty answer your question, no. If you don't have something else to drive in the winter months, it'll be quite a stretch, in my opinion.

Are the harley sportster 883l bikes intended more for women?

My old Harley Servi-Car does great in the snow. It's a blast!

Motorcycle boots...?

Absolutely not, not unless you plan on killing yourself! They don't even do well on a dirt or gravel road in the summertime. There's no way you can safely ride in the snow without being seriously injured. Anyways, you never want to take your bike out in the snow because the road salt will rust your bike pretty badly!
