Tips to Help You With Your First Motorcycle Purchase

Buying a new motorcycle is an exciting thing especially if you are someone who is extremely passionate about bikes. However, a lot of first-timers get overwhelmed and excited about their bike purchase and end up choosing a completely wrong motorcycle instead. To prevent this from happening, here are a few tips that can help you find the perfect first motorcycle for yourself –

Weight of the bike
Choppers and cruiser bikes are usually way heavier than regular sports bikes and motorcycles. You don't want to purchase a bike that is extremely heavy compared to your body weight and overall strength. You can check with the Yamaha motorcycle dealer Australia to help you find the best bike that fits your physique and strength.
This is especially important for you since you are buying a motorcycle for the first time and since you will be riding it, you need to be sure it fits you well. Usually, the weight of the bike goes up with displacement such as motorcycles, mopeds, etc. This isn’t the case with cruisers and choppers though.

Seat height
For a new rider, it is always better to choose a seat height that fits you perfectly allowing your feet to touch the ground completely flat. This can be very helpful in maintaining balance in case you lose the balance of your bike.
For heavy bikes, it is best to have a seat height where your feet touch the ground completely flat. Unless you are a very experienced bike rider, getting a car height seat which allows you to touch the ground with your feet for balance is a good idea. Choose your Yamaha motorcycles Australia accordingly and customize the seat if needed too!

Check with a biker friend
If you have a friend who rides a bike or is passionate about bikes and motorcycle, it would be a great idea to discuss with him the models and bikes that you are planning to shortlist. He/she can help you with choosing the right bike that matches your lifestyle, preferences, and budget. Your friend can also teach you a thing or two about the Yamaha parts online Australia for your bike!

Buy a secondhand bike instead
When learning how to ride or even practicing your motorcycle riding skills, trying this on a secondhand bike is a much better idea than trying this on a brand-new one. There are tons of Yamaha motorcycles Australia to select from in secondhand collections as a lot of people sell their bikes within a few years of using it.
When you are practicing, the chances of falling from the bike are high. There could be a few scratches, skid marks and so on which is why a secondhand bike is a better option to start off riding with!
