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.

        Very solid point. I’m thinking about getting my first motorcycle soonish, and I hadn’t thought about that part. Thanks!
