coffee_rules Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 What is a good starter bike out there? I got a new DL and I want to buy a small bike less than 500 CC to start with. Please share your experience.
triam Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 are you looking for a sporty one or something like a harley? and your budget
DomainK Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I am out of touch with bikes, but I had good experience with passion. Nice bike. Dont know what they are offering now. I also like unicorn. Try cruiser bikes, they are cool to ride.

graphic23 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I know that the Pulsar (by Bajaj) is pretty awesome right now. :) If not, you can always go for the ever-awesome BMW bikes. :D

Please share your experience. go for any Yamaha bike...their gears operation is very rider-friendly....it is 1 down neutral and rest of the gears are up.....very easy to bring the bike to control if needed to make a quick stop at high speed.....just tap it a few times....also depends on your riding style.....In India I used to ride a Yamaha RX100...small bike...but very good one 16 years ago...lol....I always used to drop gears to reduce speed...I remember one time when we were out after the pub had closed and hunting for a dhaba(booze was available 24/7) on the city outskirts...I realized I had just over shot one coz it was dark and I was doing close to 100kmph...all I did was hit the throttle 3 times while tapping the gears down...when I was down to the first gear..the wheel had locked..lol...managed to stop the bike within a very short distance..using brakes was only at the end....good luck to you on the bike search...:D

Its the worst bike for the pillion. Makes the pillion very uncomfortable. You may like it, your gf may not.
