the right bike for you

when buying a motorcycle its so important to buy the right style of bike for what you will be useing it for there are 4 styles 1 cruiser usualy quite large and cumbersome bigger engines usualy 1000cc and up luggage bags ,fairings etc good for longer trips but useable in the city 2 normal what i call old school bikes straight up rideing position good for everyday comuterbikes and rideing medium road trips 3 sports bikes racers,usualy very fast hunched over rideing position,not good on long trips or anything but nice roads 4 enduros on/off road dual purpose bikes usualy under 650cc capable of casualy on road and offroad soft trails 5 offroadbikes not allowed on road used for dirt raceing trail rideing stunting etc mistakes i see mostly ,are people buying to big a bike,and even sometimes to small like buying a big cruiser but hardly ever takeing long trips also buy a bike to small and trying to use it for extended roadtrips or buy an enduro bike and never go ofroad atall many times this results in bikes sitting unused i also see alot of guys buy to much bike for there rideing ability to fast to much power this happens on and off road and most times it ends in tears and for sale signs the key is buying a bike small enough you can learn on and big enough you wont get tired of to fast as your rideing ability inprooves..this depends a lot on your size 250cc is a decent size for your average guy just make sure BOTH your feet touch flat on the ground,sometimes a suspension mod can be made it lower a few inches,but usualy best to go to a smaller size lots of sizes are still andhave been available in the past 100cc 125cc 175cc 200cc 225cc most of all ride safe ,ride within your ability,and you might just live long
