Tips To Choose The Right Bike

Aug 12th 2016

RC Components sees clients from all experience levels and all walks of life. Motorcycles are not just reserved for the likes of hardcore biker gangs. They’re the perfect way for just about anyone to get out on the road, get some fresh air, and take in new experiences. However, picking the right motorcycle does come with some challenges. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right bike for your riding style.

Where Do You Want to Ride?

Motorcycles come in a variety of styles, from cruisers to dirt bikes. Deciding how you want to use your motorcycle will often dictate the type of bike you should buy. If you want to tackle dirt roads, a dirt bike will work best. However, if you’re wanting to take long trips by motorcycle, a touring style bike will make the trek feel pleasant rather than cramped.

How Often Will You Use the Bike?

Are you planning on using your motorcycle for the occasional weekend cruise, or are you looking for a car replacement? Weekend cruisers can get away with choppers built for style while regular commuters will want a more utilitarian bike. Don’t worry. No matter what kind of bike you’re getting, RC Components can help you customize your look.

How Experienced Are You?

Different bikes have different engine sizes and the one you want will largely depend on your experience level. While experienced riders can handle a 1500cc engine, newer riders will be better off with a smaller 250cc bike. Once you gain more experience and improve your riding skills, you’ll be able to move up in engine size. When in doubt, start smaller.
