I am 19 years old and want to get my motorcycle license this month but my mom and dad are really against it. I think the reason is that there is more of a chance of getting hurt then a car and thats reasonable, but i think if i show them a good bike for a beginner they might reconsider. any suggestions? used new? whats better? pleaseee help
Showing them a motorcycle when they hate motorcycles will not make them change their mind. Take a safety course. You don't need an M licence to take it, and you will learn how to safely operate the bike and get money off insurance. Go to your local bike shop (harley has it for sure) and ask about it.
Honda Nighthawk Suzuki Bandit Harley 883 Pretty much 75% of all cruisers. No V Max ! No sport bikes. New is better but what can your budget handle ? Remember there is going to be insurance AND gear to buy. Helmet,(full face, trust me its what you need), gloves, jacket it adds up. Buy Motorcyclist magazine or go to the library (does anybody still do that ?) for the back issues. In every issue near the end is a recommendations for 3 used bikes. They give a quick review, show a picture, give an average range of prices and tell you what (if any) problems they were famous for. Good hunting, ride safe and you are in for a hell of a good time doing something not everybody does.
