7 Best Overlooked Beginner Motorcycles
Beginner motorcycles come in all shapes sizes and colors kind of like humans some are small and
nimble and others well if the turbo booster was a motorcycle it'd be Andre the Giant, however as
much as we all want to ride Andre the Giant wait what he might be so large that he is casting a
shadow over some excellent bikes you might miss.

I have another list of seven overlooked beginner motorcycles, I tried finding these on Craigslist so you
wouldn't have to search in the backwoods of the deep south or a barn in the middle of Idaho just to
find one of these gems. Some of the same because they're still in production while others become too
scarce especially within the US market, so here we go.

Number one: Yamaha v-star 250.
The Yamaha v-star 250 so I'm a Yamaha triumph where my sponsorship is, by the way, guys, how
many Daytona's have I sold for you if you guys aren't careful. I'm gonna put up y'all's email on an
article and tell people to message you until you get in contact with my people and even a Ducati snob
these days. Life's kind of funny isn't it and so for the first bike, it's the Yamaha v-star 250 with the low
seat height and easy controls this bike is perfect for beginners. It doesn't have too much torque and
has low maintenance with the air-cooled engine. The price tag for these bikes is roughly $3,000 but
I've seen them going way cheaper. Then you can accessorize and mod the crap out of these things to
fit your needs and style.

It's a beginner cruiser for anyone. The wet weight of this bike is 326 pounds making it extremely easy
for smaller riders to pick up, that's a featherweight in the cruiser world and a light bike in general to
give you perspective my Ducati scrambler desert sled weighs about 430 pounds. It's a full hundred
pounds lighter than that bike. I'm not making fun of you no one and I mean no one wants to try to pick
up an 800-pound bike after riding it for only a couple weeks, seriously that's way too heavy.

Since it's a really popular bike these stars are easy to sell to the next newb no one ever said you have
to keep your beginner's bike did they, one of the coolest things about the v-star is that even though it's
a 250cc it's a v-twin so you'll still get plenty of cool pops Burkle's and burgles. Burners what are you
gonna get from it, your new cool pops and burbles and crackles from its multi-cylinder attention, check
years and production dates on the V stars originally manufactured by Yamaha in 94. they used the star name as a standalone but in 2016 they resumed manufacturing bikes as a star model, not a subsidiary brand. Regardless the bikes are the same and will have the same reliability and performance you can

expect from a Yamaha.
Suzuki GS500:
Number two is the Suzuki gs500 and did you miss it? The Suzuki gs500 is next in our list of overlooked
bikes and will even include the F model in case you're not a fan of the naked look. fooled parallel-twin
this bike is everything you need in a beginner motorcycle it's got.

this bike is everything you need in a beginner motorcycle it's got.
Upright seating fairings if you want the sporty look and 500 CCS that produce a punchy 30 foot-pounds
of torque, these bikes have been made forever and still have a very limited cost. The $1,500 to $3,000
market still exists for these bikes; the fully fed version sits on the higher end while the naked and older
models sit on a lower end if you need a bike now and don't want to buy something with zero resale
potential like a Hyosung.
I suggest you go into the gs500 lifestyle, it's not an SV 650 but it'll take you
where you need to go nonetheless. Seriously the GS 500 might be the ultimate underdog of beginner
bikes here, I've written a few and although they aren't nearly as punchy if you're fun to ride as the
SV 650 if you're on an extreme budget and can only afford to shell out $1,200 or so in a motorcycle.
The GS 500 could very well be your machine, a great alternative if you don't mind some ugly looks is the
Ninja 500 as well.

Suzuki Boulevard M 50:
Number three is the Suzuki Boulevard M 50, well it's another Suzuki and it made it to the list the
Suzuki Boulevard M 50 is still in production and still a favorite amongst noobs and experienced riders
why it's still cheap to maintain. Cheap to ride and cheap to customize and make your own. The earlier M 50s
can be found on Craigslist and the sub $3,000 range which makes it perfect for the college student,
the e2 s in the military, and those trying to get their foot in the door before getting a mortgage on a
Harley-Davidson.
Remember every bike you buy doesn't have to be forever and it doesn't have to be
your only bike, the m50 still has the liquid-cooled 805 CC v-twin engine so moving around the town or on
the highway it will be a breeze. Sears the 805 CCS is gonna be a very torquey and fun bike and
torque is what makes motorcycles fun in my opinion twisting the throttle and getting instant feedback of
acceleration.

Now that's something we all love, boulevards can be chromed out black doubt and changed in almost
any way you want them to be for a beginner bike that isn't crawling out of the hole and can be kept for
years to come the bike shows its value and is gonna look great. Now what if I told you there is a way to
copy a beginner bike completely for free, what yeah me a free motorcycle this is ridiculous but it's true
yours truly does motorcycle giveaways completely for free. We've got a brand new Yamaha r3 and
Suzuki sv650 waiting to be given away to a lucky.

Honda CBR500R:
Number four on our overlooked beginner bikes list is none other than the Honda CBR500r now this
might be my personal favorite on this list. If you're not about to dive into a 600cc bike and a ninja
300 seems inadequate the Honda CBR 500 R becomes a viable option with a 471 CC liquid-cooled
twin-cylinder engine the 500 R has roughly 50 horsepower and 30 foot-pounds of torque.
It's enough to zip through city traffic, cruising highway speeds, and even have a little spirited fun,
especially on twisties. Use prices for these bikes are in the 4 to 5 thousand dollar range. Because it's a Honda it'll hold its

value and be easy to maintain now you can pick him up for cheaper than that I have seen them way
cheaper than that. It's a great beginner's crotch rocket with full fairings and relaxed forward lean angle
you can choose to go full tuck or ride upright. It's your choice on this bike, as a beginner motorcycle it'll
allow you to safely learn your low-speed maneuvers and get used to the sportbike feel.
The Honda CBR 500 R is not like the underpowered 250 cc bikes out there you may have heard me
bashing on the Suzuki GSX 250 R, which is a mini GSXR of sorts the maximum top speed equal to the shift point in the
first gear of its real GSXR lineup. Beginner bikes don't have to rip through gears like a literbike but it
should take seconds not weeks to get to highway speed. The cbr500r does just that if you're starting
to notice a trend here that five hundreds of the darlings of overlooked beginner bikes. You'd be right 500
CC's of street bike funds sits perfectly in the middle of 650 s and 300s and honestly since most people
aren't actively looking for them you can actually get really good deals on these bikes now.

Kawasaki Versys 650:
Number five is the Kawasaki Versys 650 now you guys know I've dogged on the versus 650 in the past
but stick with me here this is gonna be a good one making, it back onto our overlooked beginner's bike
list is the Kawasaki Versys with prices of these bikes dropping into the $3,000 range. You cannot go
wrong with this bike it's still a little on the ugly side but it's a 650 that'll be your workhorse for years to
come bring a passenger pack your saddlebag and go somewhere for the weekend, the vs. remains the
blend in the type of bike or people won't approach you to try to pop nooners in the parking lot.
Most of the hood rats won't even bother because nothing on this side of the bike screams squid missile
the vs. is a great 650 for all riders regardless of experience. If you're entering the world of motorcycling
you can reap the benefits of having a bike. That can be utilized for more than simply breaking the speed
limit repairs and maintenance will be cheap as will the availability of parts with a gala sake it really can't
go wrong.

Buell Blast:
Number six on our overlooked beginner bike to list is the Buell blast,
okay, so the Buell blast this is the kind of bike for the person who just needs a bike. Any point much like
the owner of a PT Cruiser with 200,000 miles on it or the highpoint handgun. This bike is for the
minimalist who needs two wheels out of necessity. If mopeds mobility scooters and electric shopping
carts are subpar for you the blasts should be an upgrade with a one-piece banana type seats 492 one
single-cylinder engine and a rock-solid ferry this bike was meant to be dropped in your door just like your
bicycles'

Whatever your thing is or isn't the Buell blast is the complete opposite all joking aside the motorcycle
was produced for nine years under. The parent company Harley-Davidson the bike is rugged and was
intended for beginners hence the hard plastics and is a good running bike price. Craigslist is within the
one to two thousand dollar range which makes it close to trading worthy. If you have a used Xbox you no
longer play try and trade it for a blast you might just end up with the motorcycle sooner or later.

Sometimes having a motorcycle that runs is more important than not having a bike at all in which case a
used blast should be on your list.
used blast should be on your list.
Ninja 650:
Number seven last but not least on our overlooked beginner's bike list is the ninja 650 now this might be
a bit of a cop-out you might tell me. People know about the Ninja 650 to which I say, I've talked to a lot
of people they don't seem to know about the Ninja 650 this bike made the list because it has both the
sporty look of other ninjas but also the performance of a 650cc bike.
it's not the zx6r crotch rocket but an ST or beginner bike check out, my beginner bike to your list
video for that and it's sufficient for any rider if your r1 is at home while you're on a vacation and
you get offered to take a ninja 650 for a rip you'll do it.
If you want to beginner bike that you can call your own for a couple of years fall in love with and even
keep when you get your first turbo boost then the ninja 650 is it prices for these are in
the $3,000 to $4,500 Range, used so it's still attainable for all the broke boys out there she's gonna take
a few more weeks or months of saving up in the end. It'll be worth it whether you're a fan of Kawasaki or
not owning one is convenient. Knowledgeable tech / DIY videos and other resources are readily
available.

There's a lot of cheap after-market support for the Ninja 650 as well so mishaps such as dropping it or
repairing it or gonna be on the cheaper side. So that's gonna wrap up this article. Did you like it?
Are you gonna be shopping for bikes now? I'd like to know what types of bikes you guys want to learn
more about or we can even try things that go against the Internet. should we do a 600cc starter bike
series a leader by extraordinary it sounds like there are unicorns in the motorcycling world and because
of this new riders have inherent fears of starting on certain bikes.
