First of all.....

Second, Have you checked out the Beginner's Guide? There are also stickies and the Learn To Ride A Motorcycle page which is now downloadable in PDF format (Created and maintained by Dragonhawk).

Third, I also recommend an MSF course and reviewing your state’s (province’s/territory’s) DMV or DOT website for licensing information, guidelines and FAQ.

Fourth, Go to a variety of dealers and sit on all kinds of different motorcycles. Even if you don’t think you’d like the ride when you look at it. I was dead set on one riding style when I started and ended up buying a different type. You may surprise yourself as well.

Fifth, Good Luck, Have Fun and Stay Safe Out There! I hope you enjoy this site! Be sure to...

Hey, been lurking for awhile but finally decided to register today.

I'm wondering why no one seems to suggest the Buell Blast as a beginner bike. Is there a reason for that? I've been looking at that one recently for myself because I love the way it looks but it worries me that I don't see anyone on this board ever suggest it.

i think several people had or knew somebody that had bad experiences w/ it.

but i also heard that they fixed it around '03.

so '03 and up should be fine.


PS. im just going by memory here. don't quote me regarding the year.

Actually we have a couple of members who love their Blasts and froth about them a lot. They might not have been around recently...

If memory serves they rave about the handling and claim its a lot of fun. A quick squint at the net tells em its a 34bhp bike, which is a bit of a shame for the English market, so it is bang in the middle of the range suggested for begining riders.
