Introduction
The purpose of this site is to help brand new motorbike riders or riders coming back into the fold what to look for when choosing a new or used motorcycle. In context of the other topics I like to write about I've finally decided to include this as part of the performance site! Choosing to ride a motorcycle is not like a car as I feel it is a more emotional decision, perhaps due to being a less popular choice of transportation and the various stereotypes safety issues etc... so it is generally a big decision and one which will forever change your life and probably those around you. So you've made the decision to ride! Here are some pointers and info gleaned from many visitors over the years and myself that you may not have thought of in that decision. Remember to read the article on choosing your bike too as there's even more useful stuff there. Motorcycles come in all shapes and sizes from 50cc scooters to 1800cc mega cruisers and perhaps beyond ! If you've landed here you obviously want to find
out : Let's face it the easy part was deciding to ride a motorcycle in the first place. Everyone is different, having different personal values, culture, body shape, loves and hates and so forth. Yes there is a common ground for everyone but remember just because you live in the same continent doesn't mean everyone has the same point of view. For example in many parts of Asia a 250cc bike is considered a luxury item. A Hayabusa is an unattainable fantasy to them! Well ignoring the price factor here is the summary index. Sorry NO pictures just yet but feel free to send them in!
