Kawasaki VERSYS X Bill Roberson / The Manual Dual sportĭual sport motorcycles are the Swiss army knife of the motorcycle world. Not especially fast in terms of top speed.Just don’t expect to win races against sport bikes - unless you buy a “power cruiser.” These models offer a more powerful engine and other performance upgrades … but probably not a great first choice for a beginner.Įxamples: Harley-Davidson Breakout, Honda Shadow, Yamaha (Star), Kawasaki Vulcan, Ducati Diavel (pretty much every major bike maker has a few cruiser models in their lineup) A light- or medium-weight cruiser makes a good beginner bike because they are easier to handle at low speeds and have a more relaxed power output. Cruisers are comfortable to ride and can also make for good touring bikes with the addition of saddlebags, a windscreen, and maybe a backrest for the passenger.Ĭruisers can also be stripped down, bobbed, painted - a cruiser is what you make of it, really. Cruisers feature a low seat height, a torque-rich engine (typically a V-twin), a fat rear tire, lots of style, and very often, a lot of chrome (or not). If that’s your dream motorcycle type, you should be shopping for a cruiser. Many beginning riders picture themselves cruising city streets on a powerful, low-slung machine. Harley Davison low rider cruiser Bill Roberson / The Manual Cruiser Requires a very high level of skill to ride competently.


Can exceed most worldwide speed limits in first or second gear (of six gears).Typically not very comfortable for distance riding.Thrilling to ride fast - if you have the skills.
