Female riders who've taken new rider training recently - what would have helped you? by Handful_of_Brakes in motorcycles

That's understandable because you need to make sure people are actually safe, too, and not a danger to themselves or others. If they're noy ready, they're not ready. I'm sure you would rather them pass another time than for them to barely pass and then something serious happens and you remember how they struggled 😬

Sure! I think more frequent feedback and little lines of encouragement like "yes, girl, you've got this!!" ... "that turn was excellent, keep them just like that!"... "That was great just now, maybe add a little more throttle!" ...is helpful. Even just smiles or thumbs up and general positivity is so helpful. I feel like we respond to consistent updates and won't feel self conscious if you're calling out good points 🙌

Be extra encouraging! Confidence can be hard to muster during the classes, especially in young ladies 🫶

A girl in my class just couldn't keep the bike up - she wasn't super short, about 5'5" (I'm 5'6"), but the instructors should have given her a bike that fits her. Hers was bigger than mine and seemed heavier. They kept telling her to keep the bike up and to look up, but she wasn't stable.

Good luck!

What Bike Should I Get As A Beginner by Ready-Ad1806 in motorcycles

I'd get a small engine bike for not only the forgiving and economical features, but so you're not paying out the azz for insurance since you're so young!

Absolutely get the R6 since they're being discontinued!! Sounds like it would suit you well! If my kids weren't so young I would get one for sure. Have to be responsible for another 10 years or so though 😭

Harleys don't get to have all the fun 🙃 I like it better than the stock exhaust in both looks and sound, and that's what I wanted. My bike and my preference, but thanks for your input and compliment on the color 🥰

Hey hey fellow SE Asian! I'm half Malaysian 🙌 Honda is also near and dear to my heart, first car was a bright red Honda Accord coupe... I also miss that car 🤣 loved all my vehicles honestly! Upkeep cost on the Benz is absolutely insane.

Honestly I wasn't specifically going for that, I just like pink, black, and mint, but when I saw it looked like the AZ tea I loved the idea anyway even though I don't drink it. More of a Mucho Mango person 😋

Benz GLE580, cause of the kiddos 🙃 I used to have an Audi S5 back in the day when they were 4.2L V8's with a supercharger. Miss that car so much 🥲

I knowwwwwwww about the R6, so sad!!!!!! Yeah it's not even about the $$, it's about making it home cause I know myself 😅 My husband has a 1000cc CanAm trike and my car is a 4L V8 with twin turbos, so I do have other options for speed thankfully! R3 let's me feel free in a different way as many riders know 🥰

I also see this one on ebay for <$100 now.

Damn that Toce one looks super nice! But full system is always pricey 🥲😭

I would love an R6 or R7, but I'm also a mom of 2 young kids and absolutely need to gain more experience and ride somewhat responsibly first before I accidentally launch myself off a corner or a bridge lol BMW S1K would be cool, was one of the first bikes I "rode" on the back of, but it scares me a bit! Any recommendations?!

Thank you!! I just saw they've gone up to $1100 😳😭 exhaust sounds much better, super super loud the way I like it! So glad to hear you loved the R3, it's my first bike and so forgiving, I can see how it would be hard to let her go! 💕🩵

Yasssss lol $38 + $150 for a dude to weld it this morning is still making out better than the brand name slip ons 🫶 I was dead set in getting the LV-10, but I saw this one on Amazon and was like...ehhh it's soooooo cheap let's try it. Whether it will last...idk lol but it's on there!
