There are very few 500 cc motorcycles available in the United States. At the same time the motorcycles that are here are great motorcycles to learn on and get the feel of the excitement a motorcycle can bring. When purchasing any motorcycle you should first think, based on your personality and your risk tolerance, what size motorcycle do I start with to learn? You find that the 500 cc motorcycle has a lot to offer. Some of the styles are impressive. Most offer a lot of power for such a small motorcycle. They really are designed for the rookie to get on the excitement and satisfaction that motorcycling can offer.
The Suzuki GS500F brings the thrill to the table. If you are a new rider this would be a great motorcycle to start your cycle riding. It gives you the style that will turn someone’s head and it has the maneuverability to make you feel exhilarated. When you lean in to a curve you will feel the motorcycle grip the pavement and beg for more. For a smaller motorcycle you will be impressed with what it will give you.
One of the strongest competitors of the Suzuki GS500f in the 500 cc motorcycle class is the Kawasaki Ninja 500r. This bike is very quick on its feet. Designed for what it is and that is a great motorcycle that brings nothing fun and excitement. This motorcycle will do nothing but make you want to ride more. The question most asked about the 500 cc motorcycles is are they great for starter motorcycle?
For American made you have to look at Harley Davidson Buell. They have put together a very nice bike that can compete with all of the Japanese bikes. The Buell is a very elegantly designed motorcycle. Buell is really a motorcycles company for the younger hip crowd. Buell is a subsidiary of Harley Davidson whose target market is really men over 35. Buell has made some inroads into the sport bike market.
Before you purchase any of these 500 cc motorcycles you should try to ride one of each. Depending on your design and the design of the motorcycle will determine if one of these motorcycles are for you. Riding a motorcycle is a lot different than driving a car. My recommendation is that before you purchase any motorcycle you should attend a certified motorcycle classes. These classes will prepare you several things that you will face while you ride.
