When it comes to choosing a motorcycle, many are carried away by an emotional impulse that, in most cases, is far from all logic. In part I understand it because "a motorcycle has to make you fall in love" but on the other, the less romantic, riding a motorcycle is something very serious and requires ALL of your attention. So, to choose a motorcycle, THE FIRST thing you have to think about is whether you will be able to drive it ...



Far from explaining the benefits of each mount, for which you have a lot of information out there, I am going to focus on you as a motorcycle driver-pilot , because your choice will depend on whether you continue doing a lot of kilometers in a row on two wheels or, for on the contrary, that your life take other directions.

After having gone through a few saddles (and I hope I have a few more ...), I dare to tell you that: "hit the gas" we all know but "control the gas" only a few know. Precisely those who have the biker gene in their DNA and always look beyond .

In my opinion, the basic difference between driving a motorcycle and riding it is that, in the first, it is the motorcycle that takes you while, in the second, you are the one who commands it. Trust me, it's that simple. If you've never had one before, it is best to start from the bottom and closely monitor each of the "innocent" 15 hp of any current 125 cc, since at the minimum they can give you more than a scare. Undoubtedly, at this stage you have no choice but to accumulate all kinds of experiences doing kilometers and also, it is necessary - or almost mandatory - to take a safe driving course . Think that a motorcycle must be respected but not afraid, it is VITAL that you have confidence or you will be quite sold in any situation, and I assure you that there are not few ...

Then you have other small but BIG details that very few consider and that is their own anatomy and complexion. Why insist on buying a motorcycle in which it is difficult to reach the ground with just one foot or that one that is difficult to move while standing still with its + -400 Kg (I repeat in print: four-hundred-kilos)? I am of the opinion that, for experiments, there is already the popular proverb: "With Casera and at home ..."

Although to choose a motorcycle we could continue talking for hours and hours (and we would never end), I am going to give you one last piece of advice that few put into practice: take care of your passive safety . I tell you in a graphic way so that you understand me better, dress up as "RoboCop" even to go for the bread. Do not underestimate anything, there is only one Superman and he is in the comics while the Hospital and cemeteries are full of imitators ...

These are my tips for choosing a motorcycle, whether you are going to start riding a motorcycle or if you have been wearing the overalls for some time, I hope to meet you on a route and throw you some V'SsS.

"I am a biker like you, perhaps more aware of Safe Driving, but still enjoying the dynamics of any road and motorcycle ".
