Tips membeli motor pertama

Just got my motorcycle license and I'm planning on getting a (name your motorcycle here) for a starter, is this a good idea or bad?


Yes, any bike is fine. But also consider which engine type is most suitable for a beginner. My first motorcycle is Honda Astrea Supra X year 2002, it is practically a solid forgiveable lump with enough power to have a bit of fun occasionally. Get a standard bike, a cruiser or even a tourer so you can ride for more than an hour without needing a break because of cramps. Your first bike doesn't matter you're going to crash it anyways. I am serious, you WILL wreck, so get it out of your system and get a shitty first bike, trust me, you'll thank me later.
