So you've decided to buy a motorcycle. After the endless debates with yourself, after the late-night fears about getting into traffic on two wheels and adequately controlling the bike, after the uncomprehending reaction of your loved ones and friends, you're ready to choose a ride.

Which Bike Is For You

But which motorcycle should you buy? And where do you turn for help in this decision? You've read some of the bike magazines, which seem largely devoted to riders with permanent immunity from speeding tickets or to naked women draped across $20,000 choppers. Not much help when you're looking to purchase your first bike. Where is the magazine devoted to people like yourself, men and women looking for an entrance into the sometimes overwhelming, always exciting world of motorcycling?

Here We Are

At Beginner Bikes, we're working hard to provide the new and returning rider a fresh and informative solution. We focus more on a bike's safety and suitability and less on horse power and quarter-mile times. Motorcycles included in our comprehensive Buyer's Guide feature lower seat heights, smaller displacement engines and kind controls. Graphical aids on each page indicate a bikes particular seating position, maintenance requirements and Beginner Bikes Suitability Rating.

Our team of new and experienced riders, with the additional input from hundreds of New Rider Forum Members, have carefully selected the bikes that we feel best reduce the risk of injury to new riders, and will more likely provide an enjoyable introduction to the exciting sport of motorcycling.
