Title: Scooter, Dirt bike, ATV...
Post by: Zlatan on May 03, 2013, 05:51:03 pm: Hello...

I'm looking for an experienced person. Someone who has owned or owns a dirt bike / scooter / ATV...

I am saving up my money to buy something of those, but for me its a really hard decision. It would be my first bike, something that's good for a start. So I'm looking for something not too big, something that's not hard to maintain (not costly)...

Scooters; Have enough storage, speed is okay aswell as size. Very, very sexy.
Dirt bikes; Don't have much storage, are faster and sexier, size is alright with me.
ATV; I don't know why I mentioned it. Looks sexy, is fast, awesome. I could afford it though.

For a start I wanted to buy a Tomos, as its very economic, cheap, small... Perfect for a start, however, it vibrates alot, isn't very fast, kinda bad looking, doesn't even have a speedometer.

So any suggestions? I'm having a really tough time having to decide what to buy..

It's very easy to maneuver around, easier than a scooter.
Less chance to fall than a scooter(bigger wheels).
Very easy to learn to drive if you do not know already, you just hold clutch and tap with a foot.
More control.
Handles just as good during winter as in summer.

So I'd go with dirtbike :)

That's awesome, you made me think between a scooter and a dirt bike. Thank you for the reply.. :)

Post by: Vladislav on May 04, 2013, 06:21:17 pm: I currently have a Yamaha WR125X supermoto - Its great for short commutes, maneuvering through city traffic and its a good looking bike too. As a first bike it's a great choice the only downside i see with it and similar bikes is the tall seat which can be quite discouraging for new riders.
If the height isn't an issue and the lack of storage space then i'd recommend a supermoto.

I knew there was something I forgot to mention, damn it. What's your budget if you don't mind me asking?

There's no better bike/moped than a Kreidler Florett or Zundapp. You do need to have some knowledge on mechanic side, and a passion for goodlooking bikes, though. ;)
