Big Bike Rider - The Beginner's Guide




            Here you will find not only news from us but everything we excited or interested about the world of motorcycles, vintage culture, photography, fashion, etc. .. We hope to see you here often! But firtly, the beginner's guide for those who want to become a rider.













        You may have heard the term “all the gear all the time” intoned by experienced riders, and those are six essential words to which any novice rider should take heed. Once you have committed yourself to the electrifying world of motorcycling, the first step is to outfit yourself in the proper gear. Whether you borrow it from a friend or invest in a head-to-toe set of quality riding apparel, gear is mandatory. In fact, all Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) courses require full gear, so it’s best to meet this need from the beginning. It will literally save your ass, as even Rossi can attest to. The last thing you want to be is a “Squid” (rider with no gear), no matter how cool you may believe you look without your gear on.


 

     When we talk about proper gear, we mean helmet, jacket, gloves, pants and boots. A decent helmet will be SIRIM or DOT certified, though the highest safety rating is both SIRIM and DOT approved. Shoei and Arai are two of the best helmet brands on the market, and we can back that up with years of experience riding with both brands in the dirt and on the street. 


    A decent leather jacket should have Chartered Engineers (CE-certified) shoulder, elbow and back protection (you can find this CE at the tag of gear). Proper riding pants will have hip and knee protection, and boots should be full leather, extending past the ankle. Different gear is available depending on where you do most of your riding, and you can easily find gear with all of the safety credentials for nearly any genre of motorcycling either online or at a local dealer.













        Now that you’re properly equipped to ride a motorcycle, it’s time to understand one. Before you even book a B Full license class, take some time to study the mechanics of a motorcycle, from the throttle to clutch actuation to the fuel delivery system, and so on. This will help you understand certain aspects of motorcycle control before you actually hop onto one in class.

       If you’ve ever driven a car with a manual transmission, a parallel can be drawn to motorcycling, as you are performing the same task, only with a clutch lever and foot shifter. Also, if you have a chance to practice on a dirt bike with an experienced rider, learning in the dirt is a fantastic way to learn to tame a street motorcycle. It will not be so difficult if you are already have a B1 license for motorcycle that below 500cc.


Next, you're going to need a bike.......

Choose Your Bike (Part 2)



          Continue with type of bike that suit your life style. In previous post, I have write about limited by own ability (less electronic), great/fantastic speck, appearance/comfort and comfort/luggage/pillion bike. Those bike are very awesome but limited in functionality. What about if try a different way of adventure in extreme condition like in the desert or explore the canyon ? Or for touring that can suit different type of road. These are the bike you searching for  :














    

          If you want to run off-road and fun is your spec, the dirt trail and dual purpose bike is for you. Consider the new super motard class such as Suzuki V Storm and BMW R1150GS. 
      



       If you want to go for a long journey touring and performance, comfort, luggage and rider features is your style. Then the sport touring is for you. Both Honda and VFR800 and BMW K1200RS are good choice.














      Those bike I have mention in this post and the previous post required different kind of riding skill. After you have got skill in how to handle your bike on the road, how about upgrading your skill in the racing track. Than you will need high performance racing spec bike full with high quality of electronic control system.


   

           Street credibility bike for you to try the racer class or traditionally big replacement bore super-bike. Look at Suzuki GSXR1400 Hayabusa, Honda CB1000RR, Kawasaki ZX10R, Ducati 1299 Panigale or Aprilia RSV4. 












          How is that about the categories of bike I have mention about? Pick your bike that suit you. But if after consider all these, you are much more practical and you want a bike that more practical and minimal use of fuel to get to shop or work, than the scooter is for you. Consider Vespa, Honda Scooter and so on.

Choose Your Bike (Part 1)



     You have passed your exam motorcycle riders are rather well prepared to ride in traffic, and you are ready to buy your first motorcycle. 


       Which bikes are suitable and which are not? And why? How do you choose your first motorcycle? What are the criteria?




This page tries to formulate some answers.












       Choosing to ride a motorcycle is not like choosing to ride in a car and  this is due in part to being a less popular choice of transportation and the various stereotypes involving safety issues, life styles and types of people who ride bikes. This is generally a big decision and one which will forever change your life and probably those around you. Let's take a look at how to choose the best motorcycle.












Types of Bikes   (Part 1)


     If you want a bike that is limited only by your own ability either on the road or off, you want a sports bike. Some examples include the Yamaha YZF-R1 or R6, Suzuki GSX-R1000 or 600 and Ducati 999.
















       If you want a bike that looks great and has fantastic specs, then the sports bike is made preferably by a limited volume manufacturer. You can look at Ducati 999, Tornado, Benelli and the MV Agusta F4.

Are you looking for appearance and comfort? 

Then the cruiser class is for you. Examples: Honda VTX, Kawasaki Vulcan and the Harley Davidson Fatboy.




If you want comfort, luggage and rider and pillion features....... 

then go with the tourer or super tourer class. Look at the Honda Goldwing or BMW K1200LT.
