Are you really a tranny or are you just trolling?

I have no idea. I think bikes are too dangerous. Get a Miata and put the top down.

Suzuki and Honda also make great bikes. The answer relies upon the type of bike you want. Like do you want a sport bike, a cruiser, a dual sport, a scrambler, a naked bike? As a beginner I would recommend something 500cc or below.

The Hayabusa makes a great first bike.


Go big or go home.

I've got a Miata and a motorcycle and as fun as a Miata can be there is no substitute for a bike. Completely different experience.

Can't fall off a Miata.

Most bikes crash before mileage becomes a problem.


At the end of the day the brand doesnt matter that much, just get a used one for your first bike. KLR650 are light and fun

Who the hell falls off a motorcycle? Learn how to ride, which is my advice to any first timer anyways.

Milage matters less than up to date service records. A well taken care of bike with 30,000 miles is going to be better than a 10k mile bike that has been thrashed and neglected.

also, the answer is Honda

I've never heard of a yamaha ninja OP.

[Kubishime]

OP, I have this Yamaha keyboard


If the quality is anything to go by, I would say get a Yamaha

Hope this helps.

Which "sport bike"?

Both are great brands with comparable build quality. Yamaha slightly better (12% vs 14% fault within first 5 years, Yamaha ranking #1 and Kawa #4).

Yamaha is good value for money. Suzuki slightly more value for money, but usually lacks all the bells and whistles. Kawasaki makes some truly unique bikes, like the ZH2 and H2 with superchargers. At the end of the day, all the japanese brands are good for reliability. You need to figure out your price range, what bike you want and how you're gonna use your bike. You should consider price, comfort, power and where that power is (big difference between twin cyl and four cyl for instance).

Get a slow dual sport bike so you can do some safe off roading fun instead of getting hit by a car on the highway lol

Yamaha WR250R

Kawasaki KLX230

Honda xr650l

Brand doesn’t matter too much. Just think Japan made. Go for low price, low mileage and used. I like watching CycleCruza on YouTube he has a lot of videos on dual sports and recommends them to beginners

Ducati

Yamaha best jap brand for bikes. But they're practically all the same.

Pick one thats the best deal in good condition with responsible owner and full maintenance history.
