  • Personally I’d recommend a Honda. They are cheap and durable. The most important thing is to learn to ride defensively and wear a helmet. If you take the time to understand positioning, other driver behavior, and how to handle hazards you’ll do great

    As for all-rounders, they aren’t the sexiest bikes but any upright dual-sport or adventure type are going to be the most fun and most versatile. Sport bikes are quick, cruisers are sexy and comfy, but damn did I love ripping around on a XT250.


  • My dad has been riding most of his life, and I have most of mine. Both of us have noticed that the “loud pipes save lives” slogan is a farce. If a driver is tuning out they will not notice your exhaust. If a driver is on their phone it won’t make a difference.

    The trick is to ride defensively and wear a helmet. There’s a reason neither me nor my dad got into a serious accident get, its because we believe every car is out to get us, not that “if I’m loud and obnoxious they’ll notice me”
