I realy love superbikes, & hope 1 day to own 1 but i dont no anyting much knowledge about them?

Question

when looking for a superbike to by, what are some of the features you look for, along with price. I would like to know about their SPEED interm of mph or kph, FUEL CAPACITY, Miles per gallon (MPG) CYLINDERS, DURABILITY and anything else one needs to know before buying 1. What about second hand bike, interm of miles ridden. Awaiting your respond

Answer 1

Sport bikes aren't very comfortable, ride one before you go out and spend 5k on one. There's kind of a catch 22 that it would be nice to try a bike before buying it but you need a license to rent a bike. If you have a freind with a license have him rent you a couple different kinds of sport bikes or cruisers, you can ride it for a weekend and figure out what you really like.

Answer 2

For your first bike you should be looking at something in the 250-500CC range and plan on riding it for a least one year before think of getting a 600 CC sportbike.  If you survive that, then you can think of getting a 1000cc Superbike.  Plan on taking a MSF riders education course and spend about $600-$1000 on protective gear (helmet, jacket, and boots)

As for your other questions, currently the majority of Superbikes are 1000 CC inline 4's with a 4.5 gallon tank.  Top speeds hover around 180mph.  Your MPG is typically 35 mpg.  Durability is usually beyond the obsolescence threshold.  Most bikes can run 60,000 miles with proper maintenance before a rebuild is in order.  Second hand sportbikes can be particularly risky if you don't know what to look for.  Even a low speed drop can cause a lot of hidden damage.

Answer 3

If you go straight out and buy a superbike you will surely die. Start off with something less powerful and work your way up, you will need experience to ride such a bike safely.

Answer 4

First of all, you should know what you are getting yourself into. Looking at motorcycles is extremely different than actually riding one.

But to answer your question, you should generally determine if the motorcycle is suitable for your needs. If you're a beginner, is it too powerful for a beginner? Are you looking to buy used or new? You would definitely want a good condition, well-taken-cared-of bike. The engine should run well unless you don't mind spending on fixing the engine. For beginners, it's not that big of a deal if there are scratches or light cracks on the fairings. A beginner rider has an extremely high chance of dropping their motorcycle. Buying a bike new or with fairings isn't bad but it's not the wisest decision.

-A majority of sportbikes have the same/similar features among one another so features shouldn't be that much of a problem (gauges, lighting, etc.).

-Speed shouldn't be a problem because most sportbikes can go 100 mph + and going 100+ shouldn't be on your agenda unless you plan on going to the drag strip.

-Generally all motorcycles are much more fuel efficient than any of these cars on the road. They will give the usual person at least 40-50 mpg.

Remember to research more and if you do decide to get a motorcycle, take the Motorcycle Safety course and wear proper gear.
