What type of motorcycle or scooter should you purchase? With so many choices in motorcycles, selecting your first motorcycle can be challenging. In this article we will try and provide you with some general knowledge that will help you in making a selection.
There are at least eight different motorcycle types (styles) of motorcycles: touring, sport-touring, standard, sport-bike, scooter, dual-sport, dirt-bike, and cruiser.
Cruisers
Many new riders begin their search by looking at Harley Davidson motorcycles. Don't make this mistake. While cruisers are extremely popular they don't necessarily make the best beginner motorcycle. They're heavy, loud, expensive, and unforgiving (loaded with chrome) of minor spills.
Another consideration concerning these bikes is price. Harley's for 2010 start at the low end of their bike range at $14,500.00 and finish at the high end with $35,500.00 plus.
