Russell Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Hi, I’m totally new to bikes. In the midst of a marriage break up I’m kind of in the poor house. Lost my cars but still would like to have quick transport other than my van. after I gain the necessary licenses, would a 650cc be too much? I am very experienced on the road but not on a bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can flat foot the 650 of choice, then it should be a great starter bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hi Russel, Ignore the peanut gallery... you'll learn to sift throught he dross and find some pearls ( you'll need to look hard, but they are there). Bobo neleg's question is the good one, cos a 650 sports bike might be a bit of a handfull for starting out, and yet a 650 cruiser or traily type would be better adapted, so don't stick at cc but horsepower and size. Remember this mantra f your looking for a budget 2nd hand machine; Cheap and fast won't be reliable Cheap and reliable won't be fast Fast and reliable won't be cheap on top of that, remember that if the deal looks to good to be true, it probably is... I would advise getting something you can get both feet flat on the ground with, its reassuring for a first bike. add to that something the will retain some resale value so that when you get bored and want something bigger and faster, you can sell it on ( so not italian or chinese). let us know how you get on and we eill take the piss accordingly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
