Tips for choosing a motorcycle – The perfect motorcycle for beginners

Choosing the right motorcycle is a crucial step in starting your journey into the world of motorcycling. It should not only suit your riding style but also be safe and easy to handle. Here are our key tips and recommendations:

1. Which type of motorcycle suits you?

• Naked Bikes: Ideal for beginners, as they are light and easy to ride. Perfect for the city or short trips.

• Adventure and Touring Bikes: Offer comfort and versatility, ideal for longer trips and adventures.

• Sportbikes: Less suitable for beginners, as they often have high power and an aggressive riding position.

• 125ccm models: Excellent for beginners from 16 years old who have an A1 license or want to start small.

2. Power and weight – the perfect balance

• For beginners, a motorcycle with a power output of 15-35 kW (20-48 hp) is ideal. Too much power can be overwhelming at first.

• The weight should be chosen so that you can safely maneuver and hold the motorcycle, especially at stoplights or in tight corners. A weight between 120-200 kg is usually optimal.

3. Seat height and ergonomics

• Be sure to test the seat height: You should be able to reach the ground with both feet to safely support the motorcycle while stationary.

• Pay attention to a relaxed riding position and the reach to the handlebars and pedals – comfort is crucial for longer rides.

4. New or used?

• New motorcycles: Benefit from the latest technology, advanced safety features, and manufacturer warranties. Additionally, you can customize your motorcycle and receive a vehicle in perfect condition – the ideal start to the world of motorcycling.

• Used motorcycles: A budget-friendly alternative for an affordable entry. We offer carefully inspected used vehicles with a complete service history and comprehensive advice, ensuring you're safe on the road.

5. Test ride your future motorcycle

We offer you the opportunity to test different models with a test ride. This way, you can feel for yourself which motorcycle suits you best. Just contact us to schedule an appointment.

6. Our beginner offer

7. Our recommendation for beginners

If you're just starting with motorcycling, the KTM 390 Duke, KTM 790 Duke/Adventure, KTM 690 SMC, and comparable Husqvarna models are perfect companions. They offer easy handling, moderate power, and modern design – ideal for starting your journey in the world of motorcycles.
