Hello all,
I am purchasing my first bike and as I don’t have much knowledge of extensive maintenance & insurance I wanted to know what experiences you all had in this.
Im hoping to hit these checkmarks.
- cruiser
- reliable
- parts are cheap and available even 3rd party
- insurance is reasonable for the bike.
- easy to maintain for newbie starting out.
I was going to go for a honda but figured to ask others their experience as they were starting out and what they have learned. Under 500 cc I believe is a good starting point, I am not trying to launch into space but if you got a reason why that shouldn’t matter let me know.
If you want to do new maybe look at Ryal Enfield. The Interceptor 650 is a standard motorcycle which seems pretty good. They also have a Meteor 350 cruiser and the super meteor 650 cruiser. I have no personal experience on any but I’ve read and seen good things. They also gave a 3year factory warranty with unlimited miles.
I dig the styling and pricing of those REs, but my mechanic warned me that getting parts from India can be tricky or take a long time.
Very solid point. I’m thinking about getting my first motorcycle soonish, and I hadn’t thought about that part. Thanks!
Its definatley worth considering. Depending on what I see locally your input can help weigh in options.
