How big of a problem are holes/bumps in the road for sport bikes?
[2009-09-20 14:20:31]

Q: I am looking at a newer model ninja250r at the moment, and it seems like a sport bike wouldnt be able to deal very well with bumps, potholes and various other imperfections in the road. This will be my first motorcycle.

A: Anything you can't go around, just slow down for.
Make sure you're not braking when you hit them and you should be fine.
You have much less control when you're braking, if in doubt, slow down before and either idle or accelerate through

Wouldn't your back start to ache after riding one of those sport road bikes?

I think that your back would start to hurt after a while of riding when riding one these bikes:

because your back would be bent for a long time, and do you have to be skinny to ride


its actually pretty comfortable, go by the shape of the bike and the shape of your body. and you can be very fat and ride 1. the faster the wheel is moving the better you can stay up level.
hope i helped!

Any thoughts on types of different streetbikes versus dual sport (on and off-road) bikes?

I'm going to buy a motorcycle and am leaning towards a dual-sport type (like a Honda XR600L, for instance) which is basically a dirt bike with plates and lights. Does anyone out there have any experience with these or any input on how well these bikes


I rode a dual-sport (enduro) 2 years straight - winter, spring, summer, fall, rain storms, snow blizzards (I didn't have a car).
