- Beginner's Guide to Motorcycle Types
www.revzilla.com/common-tread...
For beginners, finding the right motorcycle to fit their needs can be a daunting task. The selection is vast, and the expense is not insignificant. Various types of motorcycles have equally varied strengths. They also have their own set of weaknesses. Just as you wouldn’t use a sledgehammer to polish your best dress shoes, you wouldn’t want to choose a track bike if the type of riding you wanted to do was all off-road. Regardless of if you are looking for a beginner motorcycle, or are merely seeking to take a dip into another riding style that you might not be as experienced in, this video is all about providing some insight into the types of motorcycles available, and how they can improve your desired riding experience. - Авто та транспорт

It is more fun to screw with people, and seeing a 6’4” bodybuilder on a scooter screws with their idea of how the world is supposed to work.....
Don’t forget to put Viking horns on your helmet and wear fur chaps.... just to screw with them even more....
Rick Sanchez C137 lmaooooo 🤣🤣 this but unironically
I like how the video's very formal and polite, and then the guy on the motorcycle insists on saying "ass" every 30 seconds XD
Same lmao
must be a demoncrap. Go cry to momma and quit crying on a website that is so professional.
Last time I looked that word is in the dictionary.
Fuckin kills me...lol like I feel like a 10 year old at this point just snickering going he said "ass"

Thnq bro
can we get this man's comment to the top?
Give a legend to this trophy
My man 👍👁👁👍
I’ve found that sometimes a very beginner being able to reach the ground very easy isn’t always a good thing. I’ve seen some buddy’s try to flinstone the bike to a stop at highway-speeds.
LMAO
😂😂🤣🤣 the imagery this just created in my mind!
I hope your buddy’s were wearing decent flip flops 😬
Well then they need a brain, not a bike.
6"3 and I did this on a vespa on my first ride. Slammed the breaks at an unexpected red light and put my feet down because the bike lost traction. Flintstoned to a stop about 5 metres past the light 😅

My brother in law has a scooter because he like to feel the wind on his vagina.
Neal Marshall - I really like this comment.
Scooters and fat girls. Fun to ride until your friends find out.
scooters a freaking awesome if you have close to work or just going to pop down to the shop. its a great compliment to a "real" bike.
I have the cheapest scooter you can find but it’s really fun I like how easy it is to ride and you could probably say it gives me too much confidence as my first vehicle. I want to get a real bike now but idk what to get
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the lack of pretentiousness with which you approach this topic. A lot of us rookies don't know how to act, especially around our more experienced rider friends. For some of them, riding is a lifestyle, an extension of their childhood, sometimes almost a cult. The most intimidating hurdle to clear is feeling comfortable asking questions and just letting yourself be a noob. It's all about learning and growing. Well done. You guys rock!
more welcoming than the coffee folks i tell ya
I completely agree I'm 33 and just rode my first motorcycle this year. Always liked them but didn't grow up with anyone who could teach me how to ride or had a motorcycle for me to learn on. I got a buddy who's a Harley Davidson mechanic who has been extremely helpful and doesn't make me feel like a moron for asking questions.
@@TheMrRobertyou will learn some of the biggest meanest looking bikers are normally super nice ( of course not all of us) and more willing to help then just about anyone else you would meet especially when it comes to giving advice.
10:29 Notice that motorscooters are also automatic transmission(for what I know) and are VERY comfy and easy to drive. I have driven an N-max as a 15 year old and it was easy as hell. You basically only need to know what-what does.
The way i started was really great to me and I'd definitely recommend it.
Bought an old 2stroke 150cc bike to get used to riding on the road. Then a year or 2 later moved to a 400. Then after almost 4 years, moved to a litre bike. I felt confident and proficient at every step, as well as financially didnt get a hit at all
Thank you for this!! It really helps. Have you swapped to a bigger size since you wrote this comment?
no one:

I know. He was obsessed with his ass
😂😂😂 I cane looking for this comment.
Lol
Exactly🤣
felt so out of place to hear him use the word ass in such a professional video haha
I recommend a stretched hayabusa as a first bike.
with a turbo obviously
To each his own but hayabusas look ugly to me because of the overdone curves on the bodies...
David I agree they're ugly as a microwaved slug sprinkled with dog shit. I'd rather have the ZX 14R, but if I could have any bike in the world it world probably be either a Yamaha R6, a Kawasaki ZX6R, MV Agusta F4RR or a KTM 450 exc. I'd be plenty happy enough with any of them
I think they are ugly too, just satire. I seriously don't recommend a hayabusa as a first, or even second, bike. Lmfao.
I recommend the busa as a last bike for when youre trying to off yourself in the squidiest way possible
My first bike at 19 was a ZX-6R. Full on forward leaning sports bike position.
But... I was 19. I had the body and the fitness to handle it.
Now I'm in my 30s, I like nice bolt upright comfy bikes.
So I'm glad I got a sports bike while I could :)
Really like those body position diagrams. I’m a complete four wheel petrolhead who is becoming majorly bike curious. I described the riding I want to do to an experienced friend who instantly said “SV650 is your first bike”. I’m starting to understand...
Did you end up buying an SV650? If so, what year was it? I'm looking into an SV650 as my first motorcycle and would love to hear what you have to say about it!
No I’m afraid not. I’m in the UK and 2 years ago, as covid raged, the best I could do was get a CBT (compulsory basic training) certificate, allowing me to ride 125cc/15hp motorcycles on “L” (for learner) plates. Although I’m plenty old enough, getting a licence was utterly impossible. Test centres focussed on the backlog of car drivers and bike tests were almost impossible to get. So I bought a CBR125R, and although I loved it, I quickly got interested in off-road, to which it clearly wasn’t suited. A year after, a white van did a janky u-turn from the wrong side of the road. I went over his bonnet and the bike stayed where it was, totalled. So was the van. But I got away with soft tissue injuries, and as I picked myself up off the tarmac, ready to lay into the chump in the van, I heard myself telling no one in particular, “on the plus side, I can get a dual sport now”. I still have that bike, a WR125R, and it does an admirable job on dirt. Less wonderful on tarmac. But having finally got my full licence, and agonised endlessly over whether to get a 200kg dirt friendly adv bike or a bigger dual sport. Then someone showed my the specs of a Kove 450 Rally, and on faith and hope alone, I ordered one. In June, I will hopefully be among the first dozen owners in England. A huge risk, buying something sight unseen, but it’s not my first time doing this. I reckon if you do enough research and follow your intuition, do and don’t look back, you rarely regret it.
@@user-xb4nn6ql5l Sorry to hear about your accident but good to hear that you are still riding! I will be test driving some bikes (including the SV650) over the following weeks. As it'll be my first bike I'll have nothing to compare it to so I probably won't regret anything I pick haha
@@Lodethebig yeah dude - just get on two wheels. It’s loads of fun!

Well thats one way to say "Mum I want to buy a Motorcycle".
Honestly I told my parents that I wanted a motorcycle and they were fine with it. My adoptive grandmother (long story) on the other hand was like, “THEY ARE DEATH TRAPS!” Still didn’t convince me to not want one😂
loving the rider position graphic! Production values!
cycle-ergo.com helps a lot, too.
That's what she said.
For newbies and returners, I really think a scooter is the way to get the feel of the road, especially if you are not doing to many miles at first. A year on something like a Honda PCX is a great way of getting your brain in shape for the road, plus it's practical too. In Europe the scooter is the default choice. Sure they are not as cool as a motorbike but: they are cheap to buy and run; simple to operate; nippy; practical; and fun. Oh yes and you can usually park them anywhere.
True. I'm happy with my honda forza scooter.
Nah. Get something like a 250cc. A scooter isn’t a real bike.
@@7somekindofsomethingthe thing is that when "real bikes" are stored for half a year due to weather I ride my "not real bike" whole year.
Scooters are not perfect but they are the realest of them all simply because you can actually use them all the time
@@cyjanek7818 I agree and practical too since the underseat storage capacity can fit a full face helmet (yamaha nmax 155). I use the scooter more than my standard/nked bike (suzuki thunder 125/en125).
"Spurge, you look like you're ready for a day shopping at the Italian market!" ahah I couldn't have said it better myself. I remember family vacations in Italy when I was about 10 and my gosh I have never seen more human beings riding scooters in any other country my whole life!

"You don't want an adventure bike as your first bike."

I kinda a agree, as i'm not those people who start with smaller CC motorcycle then sold it to step up for larger one.
Adventure bike is like all in one multi-role package in my opinion and that really interesting.
and if i gonna buy one, i gonna use it for a very long time so i need those multi-purpose characteristic from that motorcycle.
Adventure bike it is XD

Been riding 14 years, done some track days, still watching beginner videos. Always something worthwhile.
This was actually extremely helpful, other videos are so technical and I know nothing about motorcycles so this was easy to understand, thank you for making this
Love this video. Getting people into motorcycling is the hardest step.
I fixed my gfs Honda rebel 250 after it sat for years.. in one day I learned and took it out around the backroads.. I fell in love.. my gf was telling me how much I’ve been missing out.. now I’m thinking about rebuilding the engine on a 90 Kawasaki 600 and maybe buy me a sportster to start out while learning more of how to fix them.. didn’t realize how soothing a ride on two wheels is.
Nice to see you here Dan. 🙂
The hardest step is to get 18 year old boys to survive the first 5 years on their 80HP+ machines.

Guys get tied up in engine size and horsepower. Don’t get caught up in that and ignore when they try and tell you that you need at least a 1000cc bike with 150 or more horsepower... for someone your size, a 300 to 500cc bike is good for highway riding.... if you don’t ever plan on staying on a highway more than 5 miles at a time, than a 250 (or even a 125cc Grom or Z125) might work for you... and don’t worry about getting a “motorcycle for life” most people’s first motorcycles get sold or traded within eighteen months as they learn their likes and dislikes... that said, if you get something like a Grom, 250 dual sport, or even a Himalayan; then adding a second bike and not trading in for one might be more fitting later on.... you’ll know why.....

Supermoto is a fun starter
i bought a super moto for my first bike they are heaps of fun and have a fair bit of power if you need it
I would've bought the Suzuki DR-Z400 SM if it had fuel-injection and a 6th gear.
Hard to find. At least in my neck of the woods. Only option seems to be the DRZ. Other's that were "built", hard to trust sometimes.
would be the perfect bike. still love my drz tho what did you get instead?
Got a CBR600RR. Supermotos are cool and all but at the end of the day I can't say no to a good looking sportbike. Maybe one day, I'll be able to afford a supermoto as a second bike.
That scooter would look damn good in my garage next to my Prius ! 🤔
lmao
Me:
Watched all the video and know scooter is right for me because i am short and have long trip to my work
*"yup, I'm gonna get a sportbike"*
Absolutely me sir xd
Same here!
want a kawasaki ninja, because of the looks and the image haha but it looks pretty uncomfortable 😂
Me too!! GIXXER 750 HERE WE GO!
Yeah me too...but Ill get a cruiser...just fir the sake of it...
I love the body position diagrams used in this vid- they do a fantastic job at visualizing the ergonomics of each job
I'll get uhh... one with a ... training wheels
Scooter it is.... lol.
Honestly as soon as I saw the storage on the scooter I was like, “I chose this one!”
You can add storage to any bike and it is recommended you do if you plan to use it for commuting and travel. A top box is generally the easiest option for most bikes other then the cruiser style ones.
@@burns0100 all I gotta say is.... backpacks haha
Yes backpacks are good or more specifically rucksacks but the benefit of hard storage is it can hold more rigid objects like your Helmet and it's waterproof.
If you're looking into backpacks I'd suggest Kriega.
The motion tracking is on point for the ergo graphics! Whoever’s doing that deserves an award! 🥇
A computer will track a group of pixels selected by a human! Thank the person that made the software:)

Why have I watched this 5 times in the past 2 years, and I still don't have my license :(
Mate same here😂😂
Takes a big commitment, cost money to do the msf course plus buy a bike is expensive
Well, even if you're just gonna be a regular rider with no interests of really getting into bikes, you'd still hafta fork quite a decent amount of $$ getting both the license & a decent bike after all. & i'm speaking as a guy who'd been interested in bikes for over 10 years, & still don't have a bike license & not getting one any time soon.
Take the MSF class, trust me!
@@FalconWindblader why
They so positive about the 50cc scooter
that wasn't 50 cc both of them where at least 150cc
...both scoots were 300cc.
rozbi; it’s the Mopet show, YAAAAY! (Waves arms madly) ;)
Scooters are a blast. Engine size is a indicator of nothing. Your prejudice exposes your inexperience.
@@EnlightenedSavage I love scooters, but I definitely enjoy a 150cc more than the 50cc one I used to own. That extra power is extremely helpful when I need to get out of dangerous situations in a hurry, and helped me get out of the path of drivers who were texting and driving more than once. I almost got plowed into at a red light by a driver who was on his phone, and my 50cc would not have been able to accelerate fast enough to avoid him like I did with my 150cc.
So happy to see scooters included in this list. Scooters need love too!
I’ve seen dirt bike riders play on a scooter after a race and even hit small jumps with it, it’s just so stupid it’s fun

How I chose my bike,
> I have been wanting to get a bike for a while
> Go into Motorcycle shop and look around
> I go onto the stage (it was on old auction house) and look around
> One 'cycle sticks out due to nonchalant colours and framework
> Sit down on it
> Find out it's an Indian, not bad, not bad
> Knows how much power is in it that's probably not good for beginners
> Continue to look around and sit on a few more bikes
> All have an odd feeling so I go back to the Indian
> Indian has a nice feeling
> I buy it
> It works perfectly for me, despite me being a beginner

Then I watched this and found out that it's fine for beginners. Lol
Is the Indian 2 or 4 stroke and how many cc is it?
I had a 2012 Harley Davidson Sportster with a 1200cc Iron883 motor and I was in love with that bike. It was the right size for me and the right style. It was light enough for me to be able to pick up. But I had to return it shortly after getting it. I was never big on bigger bikes but I have thought about them from time to time. But I miss that Sportster.
I'm a rider returning after nearly 17 years not owning bike. My first liter bike was a 2003 Hyubusa. My first cruiser was a 96 fatboy. Than you guys because all the various style bikes I see at dealerships muddled my decision process.

@@wbakamagyarleafy those are cool bikes
My first bike was a 110cc 83 honda trike, I used to spend all weekend on it.
dual sport is good for city riding as well!!! You sit tall so people can see you and you can see more around you. You can go over pot holes, bad roads and escape accidents like jumping the curb etc The height is intimating but if you ride proper then you will be fine! They usually come low CC engines with especially the modern ones but you get good gas mileage and longer service intervals. Dont even have to be afraid of dropping the bike(just upgrade handle bar or/AND put on hand guards) + a skid plate and a seat upgrade if you plan to ride 2 + hours in single ride
Brooklyn Adventure dude on a dual sport literally all you need is a new seat and hand guards to keep from breaking levers. I just got rid of my wr for a street bike and I miss the comfy riding position, the ability to go anywhere and being able to throw it off a bridge, pick it up and ride it again. Now if I just tip over on my new bike, I have to worry about paint. And dual sport or dirt bike parts are as cheap as it comes
dropped my bike plenty and dont care either. BEST IN WORLD :D
tall seat height doesn't matter, since you aren't supposed to ride with you feet on the ground.
when you are at a stop you need your feet or at least one on the ground, so at some point it does matter.
actually even MSF tells you you need only 1 foot on the ground. NOT BOTH. Leave 1 foot on the rear brake. Usually I leave my bike in first gear while holding the clutch in and left foot down with right foot on rear brake.
Good habit to learn for hill starts as well and holding the bike on hill!. im 5'10 and with 31.5 inch inseam with 36.5 inch seat height, you will get comfortable after a while

I started out with a 150cc scooter. I was that brand new beginner. I gained confidence and moved up to a 250cc and now I have a Honda 700 and a Can-Am Spyder. I can relate to your video! I love motorcycling and now have years in and look forward to years more!
If the Spyder was electric I would get one. Still might try it.
@@aguyfromnothere what’s the main difference or pro/con of a bike being electric vs gas?
@@MadCuzUBroke there are no pros. The only difference is now youre using petroleum indirectly instead of directly
@MadCuzUBroke Ease of use is a big one-most if not all of them you just power on and go. There's no warming to be done or worry about stalling like gas powered bikes. They aren't the fastest things but they get you around very nifty. There's also the heavily reduced amount of maintenance, but that's electric powered vehicles in general.
If you were primarily going to be riding in a busy city, 100% electric bikes are a contender

The car equivalent for these bikes:
· Standard / Naked = the affordable sportscar
· Sportbike = the not-affordable sportscar
· Cruiser = the clumsy old-school muscle car
· Scooter = the Smart
· Maxiscooter = the econobox
· Touring = the roadtrip machine
· Dirtbike = the hardcore offroader
· Adventure = some are body-on-chassis SUVs (mostly KTM & BMW), some are crossover SUVs (almost all the rest)
· Dual-sport/Enduro = a civilized hardcore offroader or a radical body-on-chassis SUV
EXTRA
· Sports-tourer = the sports sedan
· Scrambler = that one tuned muscle car that looks like it could offroad... kinda
· Trials = the rock crawler
For me, offroad bikes are the most interesting. Back in the 70s and 80s they had a 4-wheel equivalent, manufacturers actually produced cars that could battle against the offroad bikes on the wider gravel roads. Once the late 80s hit, most car manufacturers just quit while the bike guys never stopped going crazier. A current dirtbike is stupidly capable to the point you don't have low-quality options, all dirtbikes are insanely good. Just imagine a SUV only being sold with a V8, a reinforced lightweight chassis and a $10k suspension, it's insane... but people love that on a motorbike, they enjoy them, buy them and race them.

i have yet to see ANYTHING like this on youtube. The main point in this video seems to be the geometry between riders and the bike., which seems to be a lost concept on most "review" videos.
Hell the tip about walking into your dealer and sitting on the bike for a solid 10-15 minutes was something you don't hear often but is probably a key factor in buying the perfect bike.
I am a firm supporter of the idea that new riders should buy something slow and under powered, ride it until they can ring every last ounce of performance out of it and THEN they are ready for a real bike.
Looking to be getting into the biking community, and this seems like a great introduction. No bias, and what each bike is meant for.
Good video!
I've been driving a scooter for about a year (Genuine Buddy 125). I love to see how people smile when they see me. It's adorable. I've been thinking about getting a "real motorcycle" for a couple months. I always knew my scooter would be a gateway drug, just like these guys said.
Sarah I get those same looks. People find it unique and interesting for some reason. 😄 scooters 4 life.
I like my tiny motorbikes like the 90 cc ct90
Dude same!! Looking to get a grom though. I think it will be a good transition
I only have a bicycle
I have a Grom, you get a bunch of confused looks. More fun than a scooter but the same power.
I live in Japan and started on an old, beat-up 2-stroke 49cc scooter that I wasn't afraid to dump or crash. Light, great handling, zippy, cheap. Once I learned how other drivers treat scooters (legally limited to 30kph and people regularly pass going 60kph) and got comfortable, I bought an older dual-purpose, on/off-road 2-stroke bike with some cargo room, longer legs, and a manual gearshift. I love being able to stand up and see over traffic to avoid potential dangers, or to just take in the scenery. I feel like this progression was very logical.
Y'all are so wholesome🤗thank you for the super content👌🏾
Thank you guys!!! You guys helped me get a new bike 2 years after I first watched. Watched again and broke out of my shell and committed to a new biking style.
It seems with every video the quality improves but you all have reached a new level of production with this series. Excellent work.
Holy geez, that scooter description.
I ain't going anywhere far for a good amount of years, a pack mule is my spirit animal, I haven't ridden a manual before, and I haven't ridden a motorcycle before.
I love suspension and the look of a dirt bike, but DANG that storage capability.
Hey, shout out to the Vespa 🛵! It always made me smile when i was learning to ride. Took it on long trips too! (From Eugene OR➡️Provo UT)
Wow! This is an excellent video! My biggest complaint with UA-cam in general is there are too many people who ramble and don't know how to make a point. The guys who made this video are pros and drive home their point with authority. Fast moving, informative, with excellent visuals. Great Video, guys!

Yep, Revzilla lost a pro when Lem decided on moving away from videos and Revzilla... I hope he gets all he wants out of life and congratulations to him on his weight loss....
11:07 man you have to have that akrapovic exhaust on a vespa
I'm just entering the world of motorcycles, thanks for the great introduction!
5ft and 2in women over here... I was really scared that my only good option was a scooter but thanks to all this information I see it’s not! Keep it up with this good editing quality!
I'm 5.5" and my first bike was a BMW F 650 CS Scarver. It's a good bike for beginners.
@@Muschl96 thanks for the recommendation!! ^^
SAME! I’m 5’3 and was scared I would only be able to use a scooter
I spent an hour at the dealership debating between the Iron 883 and the Forty-Eight because I am fairly short. The sales person swapped out seats so i could feel what different options/heights felt like in addition to comparing mid and forward controls.
This video helped me more than any forums on the internet! Thank you RevZilla!
Thanks you guys! You guys are awesome thank you as well to Steve for helping me choose a pair of lights 🤙
thanks a lot man! I'm looking for a bike and i've been looking into looks and power only. now i have considered when shall I use it and this video helped me a lot and will surely save me a lot of money. thanks again!
Impressive and helpful video. I really appreciate how politely you are trying to give advice and yet not force any choices for the motorcyclist. These approach trully shows how good-hearted people you are. Bravo!
This is one of the top videos that explain what the different types of motorcycles are. really informative.
Great content guys, just getting into biking and this vid really helped me form general knowledge and understanding of bikes. Respect❤️
I'm a big guy with arthritis and never rode a bike till I was in my 40s. I now ride a Yamaha Nmax scooter. Great fun and an easy 60mph commute with enough space with top box and saddle bags to do some afterwork shopping. I call it my Scoo-tourer.
You forgot to mention that most cruisers weigh like a billion tones
That's why I like my Warrior so much. Aluminum frame means it's a good 200 lbs less than a similarly sized Harley/Honda.
not in a modern world with its vulkan s and ctx700
I like the looks of them, but they're just too heavy.
Carolina Cowboys too heavy you only gonna pick all that weight unless you drop it. Standing it up is all you need to do.
Would you like to tickle trout with me?
I've been riding for almost 48 years. I miss the old standards with all the options like luggage racks, backs rests and crash bars.
I want crash bars.
It's so interesting learning about all these different types of motorcycles.
I love how he is wearing a suit with matching coloured helmet and coat with the scooter, he looks so serene yet so cool and handsome. The other bikes give him a rugged to sporty and masculine appearance, and the scooter gives him the gentleman, fatherly and romantic appearance.
Being a very short Asian dude (5'3") and also a new rider, I ride a scooter motorbike, my feet just barely touch the ground (a little bit tiptoe) and my bike is already pretty low, but it's still comfortable compared to other bikes. I also have to learn to ride on semi-automatic underbone bikes, as that's the most popular in my country and also used in driving schools and motorcycle test.
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you for putting this together!
“more smiles per gallon”...🤪
TVguy9999 bruh
Americans will come up with anything to avoid the metric system lol
Give him a red bull he needs his wings to ride back home lmfao
I worked so hard for the past 30 yrs and looking to blow my money on different hobbies. MC is one of them
The headlight on the standard bike looks like the same kind as my '95 Miata. I'm sold!
Thank you for this video, u got me to subscribe. I like that you go into detail and dont ramble. Great info
I’m leaning entirely on this video for my first bike choice for next year! ( taking classes now!) . Very well done by the way ! You guys know what you’re talking about
Thank you for making this video. Got to know different types of bikes, their purpose, comfort, which is suitable for us etc.
Thank you for this video I was thinking of getting a motorcycle and this video really helped me learn more about motorcycles
This was soooooo helpful. Ive been shuffling which bike i want to get (which i was definitely set on a Yamaha YZF-R3) and didnt really consider how many options i actually had.
Definitely would've liked to see some cafe racers.
I saw this video years ago and I'm re-watching it again just to say this.
I've been riding for a bit over a decade and with the first roughly 10 years on supersport, track days, commuting to work, joy rides with friends..
Over time though now with me in my mid-30's, and with work habits causing my body some grief, I never ever thought I would go, "I'll get anything* as long as it's a super sport!"
Well turns out I love the nimbleness and power of said bikes but they were taxing on my body, even with different rearsets, suspensions, clip ons, seats, etc.
Well, as a happy medium as I haven't *quite* reached the cruiser aspect of my life (yet?), I'm happy on my '20 MT-07. Great for leisure and sporty rides but most importantly, a bit more comfortable on my body.
I will also say my riding habit have 'matured' a bit too since so .. that helps.
Thanks for this video! Ive got a car license but getting my riders license as a change of pace. Ive got my heart set on a z400 im so excited!
I think a great beginner bike is the street legal dual sport KLX 250. Bought the KLX (camo version) for mainly off road desert and minor street work. Turns out this bike is surprisingly good for city streets and in town commuting. Good for lane splitting too. 6 speeds and you will be doing lots of shifting but it is very smooth and easy to do. Power is adequate. Top speed maybe 85 mph but really not designed for freeways. I'm getting close to 70 mpg so very economical. Fun little bike. Electric start. Fuel injected. Disc brakes on front and back. Negatives are it's rather tall, but it does come down to earth when you sit on it. Pretty good seat and comfort for being a dual sport. Maybe 5 foot 10 inch or taller for rider height.
