5 Questions to ask yourself when choosing a motorcycle

1. Am I a moron?

   If the answer is yes, you may want to stick to public transportation. On a motorcycle, you'll need your wits about you at all times. One of the beauties of motorcycling is that it will teach you to focus.

2. Do I want to ride for business, pleasure or both?

   If you're thinking of a motorcycle as strictly transportation, nearly any bike you feel comfortable on will work. If you're interested in motorcycling as a sport and social activity, watch our Facebook page for updates on races, rides, etc.

3. Do I have any money?

   Unlike most pursuits that are enjoyable, you can still ride motorcycles even if the answer is "no." In fact, in the long run, if you're already driving a car, a motorcycle will save you money. Used bikes can save you extra dough as well. Check our used inventory.

4. How much riding experience do I have?

   If the answer is zero, starting out on something with an upright seating position is the way to go because those kinds of bikes are easiest to control while learning.

5. What kind of motorcycle will make me most attractive?

   The answer is: any one of them will do that!
