company news about What should beginners consider when choosing their first motorcycle?

Your heart is racing, and you're already picturing yourself leaning into a corner—the wind brushing your cheeks, the motorcycle humming beneath you, bringing a pure sense of freedom. You're just one step away from buying your dream bike—pay the bill. Hold on!

I know that feeling—the urge to buy is too strong. I've been there too, blinded by enthusiasm, perhaps even watching too many motorcycle-related YouTube videos. But believe me: buying the wrong bike, or buying the right bike the wrong way, isn't just about disappointment; it can turn into a dangerous and expensive nightmare. I've learned this the hard way (and hopefully you won't).

So, before buying a motorcycle, you absolutely must read this. Seriously, this isn't just empty advice; it's crucial information that dealerships won't tell you, information that will help you avoid regret. Below, I'll break down the harsh truths every buyer should know:

 ★The most common mistake novice riders make: Choosing a bike with your eyes, not your brain. I've seen this countless times: beginners are attracted by the looks or hype of motorcycles, completely ignoring practicality. They end up buying bikes that are either too powerful, too heavy, or simply unsuitable for daily use. Here's a professional wake-up call: First, clarify your riding purpose. Will you be commuting? Riding on mountain roads and cornering on weekends? Or going on long-distance touring? Write down your three core riding needs. If a bike can't even meet two of these needs, just walk away. This selection criterion alone can help you avoid the hassle and financial loss of changing bikes later.

★Displacement Impact: Why Your "Dream Bike" Might Be a Nightmare
Large-displacement superbikes seem like the ultimate goal, but for beginners, they can be a burden. Larger displacement means more abrupt power output, a heavier bike, and higher insurance costs. My professional advice: Start with 150cc or even smaller displacement. Models like the JL Off Road, the Brazilian CG, and the Brazilian Off Road 2010-2016 offer enough power to enjoy riding while safely gaining experience. Small-displacement motorcycles are easier to control, and you won't be deterred from riding by fear.

★Test Ride Tips: How I Figure Out a Motorcycle's "True Temperament"
A test ride isn't just for fun; it's a comprehensive check-up. My professional techniques are as follows:

Listen to the sounds: Are there any unusual noises at idle? It might be a problem with the chain assembly. Is there a whirring sound in neutral? It might be a clutch malfunction.

Test the brakes: When riding at low speed, if you suddenly apply the front brake, does the motorcycle wobble? If so, the front bearing might be faulty.

Observe the throttle response: Does it jerk when you first accelerate? This indicates the fuel injection system needs adjustment.

Check the weight: Can you easily put both feet on the ground? If not, daily riding in the city will be very stressful.

★Hidden Costs That Will Make You Exceed Your Budget
The motorcycle you're interested in might actually cost more than you expect—because you also need to buy accessories such as a helmet, riding clothes, gloves, etc. And to ensure the motorcycle lasts longer, ongoing maintenance costs are also a factor. Additionally, pay close attention to fuel consumption when buying a car: high fuel consumption can add up to a significant expense in the long run.

Keep reading. Skipping these tips might lead to regret; understanding them will allow you to confidently ride your own bike, safely and happily (the kind of genuine, silly happiness). Let's help you choose the right bike in the right way.
