Hey guys, Looking to start riding a motorcycle, I need recommendations for a good bike to start on and tips and tricks that would be useful for me when I start.
>pic related, thinking about getting a kawasaki klr650

depends on what you think you wanna do
but i agree klr seems like a good starter bike, are you thinking of buying a new one or used?
>>26676
That's a tall bike. Go here to see if you fit:

Don't buy new.

i wouldn't recommend a KLR650 to anyone ever, especially not a new rider. big, heavy, tall, etc.

Only a weak manlet couldn't handle a klr650.

Is it easier to maintain an older, simpler motorcycle like some WWII surplus, or should I just get cheap modern motorcycles?

I wouldn't buy anything older than 10 years unless you know your shit.
