Also Looking to Purchase Bike for Potential New Rider
« on: April 12, 2015, 07:02:55 PM »
Wannabe rider of maturity is looking to purchase a bike that he can learn to ride and take his road test on. Not a tall person.
Appreciate any leads for a good starter bike.
Is there  engine size limit for new riders that they must adhere to?
Thanks

You need to keep a close eye on Kijiji.   An XS400 was on this afternoon.  $600 and it looked like it was in great shape. Gone by this evening.

A test on a 250 and smaller limits your license, so I recommend 300cc and up.

Peace & Grease, Dennis

XS 400 was my first bike and was fantastic!  it was peppy and capable to do highway speeds, but small enough to whip it around and easy to handle.
