Best Motorcycles For Beginner Riders

If you’re new to the world of motorcycles, then you’re about to embark on a rewarding journey. However, you know you can’t just get the fastest and most powerful bike as your very first model. You’re going to need a motorcycle that’s better suited to a new rider rather than one tailored towards an expert.

So which models are best for those who are just starting out with motorcycles? Cycles of Jacksonville is your Florida motorcycle dealer. Here are a few of the top models recommended specifically for beginning riders.

Harley-Davidson® Sportster® Iron 883™

One of the most classic and iconic names in the world of motorcycles is Harley-Davidson, and their Sportster® Iron 883™ motorcycle is a great choice for all riders. With a lower suspension and a durable air-cooled engine, this bike is both stable and comfortable for riders of all experience levels. This bike is in the middle in terms of costs: it’s neither the cheapest nor the most expensive bike you’ll come across. 

KTM® 390 Duke®

With a single-cylinder engine that performs best at low-to-medium torque levels, the 390 Duke by KTM is a great choice for someone just starting out. This slim bike is also very lightweight, which makes it easy to handle at most speeds. A high seat is curved to improve comfort, stability and control. This is a lower-cost bike, so it’s good for riders on a budget.

Honda® Rebel® 300

If you want great value and power in one package, the Honda® Rebel 300 is an excellent option. This motorcycle sits lower than other bikes to make it more comfortable for commuting and cruising. A lightweight, single-cylinder engine provides you with midrange power and torque, so it’s not too challenging to handle. You also get a wider front wheel which helps to create more stability and provide more stopping power, which is always good for those who are learning to ride.

Yamaha® Bolt Cruiser

Yamaha is another motorcycle manufacturer that is well-regarded by riders. This slim motorcycle with a low-riding seat is comfortable for long-distance trips. Its lighter weight makes the Bolt Cruiser easy for beginners to master. You won’t have to fuel up as much with a roomy 3.4-gallon tank, too. This bike is on the lower end of the price scale, but it provides you with a lot of power, courtesy of its 642 V-Twin engine that is both fuel-injected and air-cooled.
