Novices should start with what displacement and what model to buy a motorcycle, although they have never ridden a motorcycle, but novices also have a classification!

The first type is a pure novice who has no experience in driving a four-wheeled car, you must know that motorcycles as motor vehicles need to be driven on the main road, and you will always participate in the traffic with the surrounding cars and all kinds of motor vehicles.

As a novice without any experience in four-wheel driving, it will be difficult for you to discover, predict and avoid in advance, four-wheeled drivers will likely appear in the next move, it is recommended that the first car of this type of novice will be controlled at 150cc or below, you must learn more Xi and practice, about the first teaching of defensive driving.

The second category, who has rich experience in driving cars and is proficient in defensive driving methods, is recommended to control the displacement of 250cc or less for motorcycle novices who have rich practical experience in participating in traffic.

After all, the danger factor of motorcycles is far greater than other means of transportation on the road, even if there is only a displacement of 250cc, but the acceleration of 100 kilometers has been about 8 seconds, this power level has exceeded 99% of the vehicles on the road, and the small displacement of the model is also relatively light in terms of vehicle weight.

Some people also say that novices can go directly to the motorcycle or have a larger displacement, just control the right hand, for this point of view I can only say that this is survivor bias, is not convincing, because the larger the displacement, the lower the fault tolerance, the shorter the reaction time left for the driver.

When the throttle is accidentally given by mistake, the power of the 250 displacement may be to drag you, and the power of the 400 displacement is to move forward, if the power of the displacement of 600 or above, it may directly make your mind blank, and when you come back to your senses, it may be on the ground.

Regarding the choice of model, the pedal with no oil off is the most novice-friendly model, which is also the largest sales model at present, it is not difficult to see from the sitting position, the riding position of the scooter is almost the same as our daily sitting posture, if you can ride an electric car, then the pedal you can also easily ride, but it should be noted that novices choose a scooter, must buy a model with ABS anti-lock braking system, which is the most noteworthy configuration on the motorcycle.

The cruising car is also more suitable for novices, the seat height of this type of model can be said to be the lowest in the motorcycle, the feet can be completely on the ground, for the motorcycle Xiaobai can have a real sense of security, and the cruising car sits upright and comfortable, the riding posture is also more relaxed and natural, the most important thing is that the wind resistance of this riding posture is larger, so the cruising model is not comfortable when it runs fast, which also avoids the occurrence of speeding to a certain extent.

Street bikes and rally bikes are similar in terms of riding position, but rally bikes will have a more upright riding position, better wind resistance protection, and of course the weight will be greater, while the positioning of street bikes will be more agile and sporty, although you are a novice motorcyclist, but if you are more keen to practice Xi gymkhana in the field, then street bikes will be the first choice.

In fact, for motorcycle novices, imitation racing is the least recommended for me, from the riding posture can be seen, raised pedals, Low handlebars, all this is to create a very combative riding atmosphere for the driver, such a riding posture is very conducive to reducing wind resistance, and the power tuning of imitation racing models are generally biased towards high rotation, so many factors combined, novice riding imitation racing will reduce the perception of speed, coupled with the almost inevitable novice expansion period (easy to get on the head), so in this stage often has the most accidents!

If you don't have other means of transportation and can only buy one motorcycle at the moment, then it is recommended that you buy a scooter with a displacement of 150 or less, if you want to experience the charm of straddle riding, and your height is limited, then it is recommended that you buy a cruising car with a displacement of about 250. Although the imitation race is handsome, it is not recommended for pure white.
