Hi guys,
I'm 17 and just passed my A2.
I'm looking for a bike and I'm looking to the supermoto side of things because they aren't as heavy as sports bikes. Secondly, they don't have fairings so if I was to drop it, the chance of damage is lowered.
I have a few concerns though:
- My size. I'm about 5 foot 8 inches. SM bikes tend to be fairly tall. Is lowering a possibility? One good thing though about SM bikes is that they don't weigh as much as sport bikes?
- Power. A lot of SM's are in the 600cc range. Power delivery is different compared to a sports bike, what's your opinion on this?
- My research into bikes has only just began. I have seen the CCM R30 which is 137KG, which I believe I will be okay to handle.
I haven't really looked at any other bikes yet.
