I am new to Riding motorcycles and was wondering what is a good started bike. I have looked at sportsters and so on but i havent found anything that caught my eye. I did however see a Triumph Tiger and was curious. I like the bike and all the xtras for it but is it an ok starter bike?
I am a newer rider too. I have been riding for just over one year. I think you should test ride the Tiger and see how it feels for you. I was looking for a Sportster, but converted to a Triumph America. It has been an easy bike to learn on. It has power but not an uncomfortable amount of power. No problems with it. Motorcycles of Charlotte will let you test ride and they are very knowlegeable. Wish you the best!
If you are getting fewer than 10.000 miles on a cruiser, switch brands of tire.
This bike has a lot of power be careful I would look at something around 500cc
That Triumph is an excellent bike, but perhaps more bike than you want for a starter. Remember, you are probably going to drop the bike at least once or twice while you learn, so something a little more disposable makes sense. I may sound like a broken record saying this, but dual sport bikes make the best starter bikes, in my opinion. They are user-friendly and easy to ride. In competent hands, the bigger ones 9650 class) will stay with a nominally faster sport bike on a twisty road. Perhaps most important, you have the opportunity to learn to handle a bike on loose surfaces, which will give you skills you can translate to any kind of riding.
