Transition bikes bank frame Videos

+bhsbass Pretty sure he said one is a Speed Triple, and the other is an America ( both Triumph )

left is a fat bob. the right might be an iron 883 not 100%

+nwroadratThanks.  I think I'll take the sports bike course on Ft. Hood to get specific training and a feel for sports bikes before I go out on it.  Save some headaches down the road.

+pjamese3 The position of the riders weight and the lightness of the bike itself affects the braking. -- What you heard about corner accidents is correct. Accidents in curves are often due to, too much speed, improper corner entry and/or a rider loosing focus. More lean is only required when you are going at excessive speed. Due to traffic sometimes crossing the center line, I'd save that kind of speeding in corners for a track or a known safe environment.

+nwroadratSo sports bike front brakes are stronger than cruiser front brakes?  Okay. I've heard most single vehicle sport bike accidents are in curves.  Is there more lean required going into a corner on a sports bike?

+pjamese3 I would caution on the "quick" use of the front brake, but it looks like your getting ABS with that Ninja.

Yeah man np

+Matthew Bowen thanks bro

Think it's a triumph street triple

don't get a 250cc that's insulting to gals everywhere lol

Thank you very much.

+nwroadrat The Honda Rebel is a small cruiser (250cc) that is easy to learn on as well.

Thank you very much will look into bikes you told me about. Since you understand them better. I thought I would ask your expert advice.

+Cathy Key - For starters, probably neither of the two showing in thisvideo. I would recommend something light, less on power and maybe smaller. One caveatin all this, it should fit you and be comfortable. I would recommend sitting ona Honda Grom, Honda CBR250R or the Kawasaki Ninja 250. (addframe sliders to these bikes for fall-over protection) These are not cruiserbikes. While you can start on a smaller cruiser, they can be a bit harder tolearn slow maneuvers because of the cruiser bikes length. Hope that answersyour question!

+Sam Ellis I rode a sportbike (CBR 600) from 17-21, took an almost 2 year break, and now own a cruiser (Yamaha Raider). I will say in a hypothetical world where there are no cops, a sportbike would be wayyy more fun. But since you can never really use the power, I think I prefer the cruiser now. Sportbike just got me into trouble. The cruiser is a lot more fun on the streets since you don't need to go 70+mph all the time to have fun. I will say the one thing I miss most is hard cornering though

+Sam Ellis Transitioning feels strange at first, but you will get used to it.

Now that's a great looking bike. Can you outfit one for touring??
