Choosing a new motorcycle is a big decision, especially if you’re new to riding. Price, style, and performance all come into account. But there are considerations you should have in mind that might not be obvious too. Have you thought about how ride position might affect your ability to log enough comfortable hours in the saddle to become proficient? What about versatility? Do you know for sure you don’t want to hit up a light trail now and then? How about potential maintenance costs? Or maybe you want a bike you can learn to wrench on yourself?

We could go on and on. Instead, we’ve selected 13 streetbikes with broad beginner appeal in a variety of styles to help get you started. That means lower price points, manageable performance specs, and fairly neutral ergonomics all around. Since the market is currently flush with entry-level machines, some of these bikes represent an entire class of motorcycles to consider. Others are calibrated to more specific ride styles and tastes. Either way, there’s something for everyone new to two-wheels below. Check out our Motorcycle Riding Tips for added insight.

BMW style at an entry-level price—the G 310 GS. (BMW Motorrad/)

BMW G 310 GS

The BMW G 310 GS takes after the massively popular GS line of adventure bikes in BMW’s stable, but tones the package down in this fantastic entry-point machine. It’s a head-turning of a motorcycle in its own right, carrying a 313cc single and weighing in at a respectable 386 pounds. Seat height is an approachable 32.8 inches with a low 32.3 seat height available. It features BMW Motorrad ABS, ride-by-wire, adjustable levers, and a luggage carrier also. The seating position is nice and neutral and our testers in the past have described it as “perfect” for new riders.

The Honda CB500X is comfortable and capable and just enough fun to want to ride all the time. (Honda/)

Honda CB500X

The CB500X utilizes the same 491cc twin engine as you’ll find in the Rebel 500, but the adventure package is extraordinarily friendly to new riders. The cockpit is plush and all-day comfortable, the power output mellow and progressive, while the transmission is smooth as butter. Braking is reliable, there’s wind protection, the opportunity to upgrade to make it better suited for longer-range rides, and a 32.8-inch seat height that fits a broad variety of riders. It’s just fun enough to want to ride as often as possible without being too much bike for a rider still learning the ropes.

Honda’s Rebel 500 has a cool cruiser look and a versatile-enough power platform to handle any in-town duty. (Honda/)

Honda Rebel 500

The Honda Rebel 500 is a phenomenal starter machine if you’re looking for a ride with cruiser styling. The Rebel 500 provides better engine output than the prior two machines, but is still gentle enough to be forgiving to a new rider. It’s cockpit is narrow and the 27.2-inch seat low enough to the ground to accommodate riders with short inseams. The transmission is super smooth and recent suspension upgrades make the bike even more plush-feeling on the road. This platform is ripe for easy customization too. The ABS-equipped version prices at $6,699, but it’s also likely to be a bike you’ll enjoy even after you’ve gotten comfortable with the basics of riding, so it’ll be money well spent.

The Honda Rebel 300 is easygoing and totally approachable for new riders. (Honda/)

Honda Rebel 300

You could also opt for the $4,999 Honda Rebel 300 ABS, which is a bit lighter and more docile in terms of performance. It’s easier on the wallet than the 500 and a little more than 40 pounds lighter, powered by a 286cc single engine. It comes with the same seat height and even narrower cockpit than the 500, so is a great choice for smaller riders, or riders who want to take the learning process slow on an approachable machine.

An approachable sportbike, the Kawasaki Ninja 400 would make a great first ride. (Kawasaki/)

Kawasaki Ninja 400

Entry-level sportbikes are an extremely popular option, and for good reason, they’re an absolute blast. The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is a leader in the segment, which includes similar options from the likes of Honda, KTM, Yamaha, and Suzuki. The 400 is one of the largest-displacement machines in this arena with its 399cc inline-twin engine, but it’s manners are perfectly suited to the new rider. Handling is effortless, power delivery is manageable, and the bike is fairly comfortable in the saddle even over long stretches.

The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is a tidy little package that a new rider will love. (Kawasaki/)

Kawasaki Versys-X 300

Adventure-style bikes are great for beginners comfortable with a little taller seat height, and the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is one of the best models in this growing segment. Power delivery is manageable, but the bike is also quite capable of keeping up with highway traffic if needed. The egros are upright and neutral, handling is sharp and effortless, and the riding possibilities are much broader than the first three bikes on the list because the Versys-X 300 can easily handle light off-road duty. Or you can fit some of Kawasaki’s accessory luggage to the back and head out for a long weekend.

We found the Kawasaki Z400 to be a phenomenal first bike. (Kawasaki/)

Kawasaki Z400 ABS

Kawasaki’s 399cc parallel twin also appears in the Z400, a sharply designed naked that provides the same lively mill as the Ninja 400, but with more comfortable ergos. It’s a little lighter than the Ninja and feels fully composed on the road. It makes riding fun for experienced riders while still being an incredible learning tool for new riders. When we first met the Z900 back in 2019, we were amazed at how well-suited this machine was for the beginner in all respects, from its power delivery to its transmission, it’s suspension to its road feel and handling.

The KTM 390 Adventure is fantastic for new riders who want some up-spec amenities and off-road capability. (KTM/)

KTM 390 Adventure

The KTM 390 Adventure is another exceptional machine for the beginner. It packs a number of features typically found on higher-spec bikes like traction control, cornering ABS, and a variety of ride modes that help to increase the rider’s safety in different ride conditions. The cockpit is comfortable, the power output from the 373cc single is notable among this crop of machines, and elements like the TFT display make this bike a compelling option for new riders who appreciate contemporary tech. It starts at $6,599, so a little on the steep side in this rundown, but, as with the Versys-X 300, you’ll get an adaptable machine that opens up more than just paved road routes on your motorcycle journey.

For retro looks, simple mechanics, and a chill ride look no further than the Royal Enfield Meteor. (Royal Enfield/)

Royal Enfield Meteor

The Royal Enfield Meteor is another sub-$5,000 that has some of the same appeal as the Yamaha MT-03, but with completely different styling. It’s a mechanically simple machine, powered by an air/oil-cooled 349cc single. This one’s definitely primed for the rider who wants to learn to perform at-home maintenance. On the road performance is mellow, making it extremely accessible to riders who want to take it easy on surface streets as they gain riding experience. Styling is nostalgic and clean, and there are a broad variety of colorways to choose from. There are also a number of accessory upgrades available if you find you need more wind protection or carrying capacity.

2022 Suzuki DR-Z400S. (Suzuki/)

Suzuki DR-Z400S

The Suzuki DR-Z400S is the latest version of the brand’s popular dual sport platform, and is a great motorcycle if you know you want to blend on and off-road riding. It features a 398cc liquid-cooled single and a narrow build that will be very familiar if you’ve ever been on a dirt bike. It’s lightweight and easy to handle and built simply enough for new riders to learn the basics in the garage. The only issue is that some shorter riders might not feel comfortable right away on the 36.8-inch-tall seat.

Sportbike looks in a manageable package, the Suzuki GSX250R would be a fantastic option for a beginner. (Suzuki/)

Suzuki GSX250R

One of the most approachable beginner sportbikes from a power output point of view is the Suzuki GSX250R. The 248cc twin is mellow and compliant, the handling is intuitive, and the looks align with the larger family of Suzuki sportbikes. New, it only priced at $4,599 so if you find a used version a few years old, you’ll have yourself quite the deal

Yamaha’s MT-03 is a leader among low-displacement, naked motorcycles. (Yamaha/)

Yamaha MT-03

The Yamaha MT-03 is great for a lot of reasons. It’s $4,799 off the showroom floor, is lightweight, and has a surprisingly lively 321cc parallel-twin engine, meaning plenty of power for a newbie and light, responsive handling. The upright ergos and comfortable cockpit allow you to focus on your ride inputs rather than finding a manageable way to sit, and the looks align with the full family of larger MT’s in Yamaha’s stable. Even though its styling is somewhat futuristic, the mechanics are straightforward so it’s well suited to learning basic at-home maintenance. Plus, it’s a really fun machine that will stoke your excitement to ride every time you go out. This model also serves as a good example for a whole segment of lower-displacement, naked motorcycles. Comparable options are available from Honda, Kawasaki (see the Z400 above), BMW, KTM, and Husqvarna among others.

For pure dual sport bliss, check out the Yamaha XT250. (Yamaha/)

Yamaha XT250

The Yamaha XT250 is another fantastic dual-sport option, particularly if the seat height and engine size of the DR-Z400 seemed a bit much. This nimble machine weighs just 291 pounds, features a 249cc air-cooled single, and has a 31.9-inch seat height. It’s another of the bikes that inspires confidence to wrench, and its go-anywhere design will take you on and off-road with ease. It’s a little underpowered for serious highway travel, but as an around-town commuter, especially in more rural areas of the country, the XT250 is a new-rider machine that’s hard to beat.

Two-up rides are a whole different kind of motorcycle adventure, especially if you plan to log a respectable amount of miles. Without the right bike, long touring rides with a passenger are taxing, frustrating, uncomfortable, and a quick way to ensure your passenger never hops on for another ride again. With the right cruiser though, they can be an incredible way to share the magic of the road together. So if a long-distance, two-up tour is on your to-do list this year, be sure to set out on one of the 10 streetbikes below. Also read the Best Motorcycles for Two-Up Riding 2021 and Best Motorcycles For Two-Up Riding articles for added touring-friendly insight.

The OG two-up bike, the Honda Gold Wing Tour makes long-range rides with a passenger a luxurious experience. (Honda/)

Honda Gold Wing Tour

The Honda Gold Wing Tour is a no-brainer if you are looking for a phenomenal blend of comfort, convenience, and capability. Its smooth-as-butter 1,833cc six-cylinder mill, sophisticated chassis, capable braking package, and generous carrying capacity are just the tip of the iceberg. The Gold Wing Tour packs a treasure trove of electronic amenities aimed at improving safety and performance and an impressive trim selection that allows riders to select an automatic dual-clutch transmission version, automatic DCT with airbag protection, or standard six-speed manual transmission.

Yamaha’s Star Venture is a phenomenal two-up machine. (Yamaha/)

Yamaha Star Venture

Yamaha’s answer to the Gold Wing is the air-cooled 1,845cc V-twin-powered Star Venture. While it may be mechanically simpler in a number of ways compared to the Honda, you can still expect an impressive selection of creature comforts aimed to make long hauls in the saddle a joy for you and your passenger. Touches like heated seats, heated grips, dual-zone audio control for the multifeatured infotainment system, electronic luggage locks, an alarmed security system, and more make the Star Venture a luxurious ride, no matter the destination.

Harley’s Ultra Limited is as fine a two-up machine as you’ll find. (Harley-Davidson/)

Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited

Harley-Davidson has a full line of Grand American Touring models, but the Ultra Limited is one of the best-suited for two-up rides straight off the showroom floor. The massive Milwaukee-114 V-twin engine is the biggest you can get in a standard H-D Touring bike, the Boom! Box GTS infotainment system is fully decked, and the plush passenger seating setup will allow your companion to take in the sights all day long. The large, fork-mounted fairing provides a calm cockpit, and integrated luggage makes it easy to leave home for long stretches.

The BMW K 1600 GTL is a popular option for riders who often head out with a passenger. (BMW Motorrad/)

BMW K 1600 GTL

The 1,649cc, six-cylinder K 1600 GTL is a longtime favorite of touring riders, and for good reason. The platform is incredibly smooth, from its power output to the way the dynamic ESA soaks up road imperfections. It has all the creature comforts you and your passenger need to handle a bevy of different ride conditions, and an elegant and effective design that effortlessly cuts through the air. Plus, if you like the base platform, you can upgrade to get even more out of your machine with the K 1600 GTL Grand America.

The Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS is a proven touring machine that is surprisingly great on two-up rides. (Kawasaki/)

Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS

The Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS has power, has handling, and has the track record of being a beloved long-range touring bike. In standard trim, the 1,352cc inline-four-powered motorcycle doesn’t immediately scream “two-up” like other bikes on this list, but add the Kawasaki top case and passenger backrest and suddenly you have a machine that’s very accommodating for two riders. It won’t come with all the creature comforts as some of the other machines we’ve listed, but it has one of the most approachable price tags of the bunch and opens the door to more sporting solo rides when two-up isn’t on the menu.

The Indian Roadmaster Limited is a gorgeous machine. (Indian Motorcycles/)

Indian Motorcycles Roadmaster Limited

The Indian Roadmaster Limited is a gorgeous machine with a big ol’ 1,890cc V-twin that provides smooth, powerful pull at just about any point in the rev range. It’s decked with luggage, has a sophisticated Ride Command touchscreen display and full-feature infotainment system, plush seating for rider and passenger, along with all the current electronic aids you’ll need to have a safe, comfortable ride.

Turn heads in style with the BMW R 18 Transcontinental. (BMW Motorrad/)

BMW R 18 Transcontinental

As the name suggests, the BMW R 18 Transcontinental is designed to tackle miles and miles of road without missing a beat. The 1,802cc boxer twin is one of the newest machines in this particular segment, and its classic styling combined with contemporary amenities make this one of the most head-turning machines on the list. It has a full suite of electronic ride aids, state-of-the-art cockpit, super cozy seating, advanced wind deflection solutions, and a low-maintenance shaft drive. BMW also offers loads of upgrades and personalization options.

The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited is one of its best two-up options in its line. (Harley-Davidson/)

Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited

The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited is the second from the Bar & Shield brand and closely resembles the slightly more pricey Ultra Limited. It has all the essential bells and whistles for long-range two-up rides, including integrated luggage, plush seating, ample wind protection, and a powerful Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-twin engine. Linked Brembo braking kit and a dialed infotainment setup sweeten the deal, and styling is unmistakably Harley.

The Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager is classically styled and comfortable. (Kawasaki/)

Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS

Kawasaki’s Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS packs a 1,700cc V-twin, electronic cruise control, K-ACT ABS braking system, plenty of cargo space, and a somewhat bare but effective infotainment setup. It doesn’t feature the higher-spec TFT instrument panel as many of the other machines on this list, but the stripped-down design has its own type of appeal, especially as a complement to the classic aesthetic of the machine as a whole.

The Triumph Speedmaster is a great two-up bike with a few upgrades. (Triumph/)

Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster

The Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster isn’t quite as formidable as the other bikes on the list, but with the accessory passenger backrest, side bags, and windscreen added to the package it quickly becomes an appealing two-up machine. The torquey 1,200cc twin can easily carry the added weight of a passenger, and the styling is elegant and eye-catching. Plus, the price tag, even with the added cost of a few upgrades, is still under that of the other bikes on the list.

Triumph Motorcycles specializes in manufacturing new motorcycles that ride pleasingly like old ones. The company has mastered the art of preserving the sound, feel, and overall character that make old-school streetbikes so neat, without the need for riders to add engine oil every few weeks. Its 2022 Speed Twin ($12,500) is the latest modern classic to roll off its Hinckley assembly line, and it rides as well as it looks.

Few motorcycle manufacturers pair old-school character and modern riding dynamic like Triumph Motorcycles and its Speed Twin. (Joseph Agustin/)

Obviously, we’re big fans of the Speed Twin’s looks. From its oversized and cooling-fin-shod 1,200cc parallel twin to its old-school shaped 3.8-gallon metal fuel tank and dual swept exhaust, it’s a classic standard that’s sure to turn heads. Aside from a couple of cheap fasteners, for example the clutch tension barrel adjuster, the bike’s fit and finish is top-notch. We deeply appreciate Triumph’s attention to detail.

The 2022 Speed Twin is a looker. We love its stance, proportions, and superb fit and finish. (Joseph Agustin/)

Flip the ignition key and thumb the starter button and the Speed Twin settles into a lumpy idle. With its offset engine firing order, the twin’s healthy growl builds excitement but isn’t enough to annoy the neighbors. Throttle response is measured, and we love the bike’s rowdy bark at full song. The last time we dyno tested it (MY2020), the engine was good for nearly 80 pound-feet of torque at 3,500 rpm and 91.4 hp at 6,700 rpm; not bad for a retro-themed standard. Power gets to the 160-series Metzeler Racetec rear tire through a responsive, well-weighted cable-actuated clutch and right-hand-side chain final drive..

The Speed Twin’s 1,200 parallel twin not only looks clean, but it puts out a pleasing spread of torque with a fun-loving sound and character. (Joseph Agustin/)

Lifting the 476-pound Trumpet off its kickstand requires some muscle, but from behind the bars its heft is easier to manage. We appreciate its slim seating position, well-proportioned ergonomics, and low seat height.

Dipping through turns, the Speed Twin impresses with lively handling. Suspension action is nice and plush over rough pavement, but for a bike with this combination of price and handling capability, the suspension should have damping adjustment. Its absence limits how hard the bike can go along low-to-medium-speed backroads.

Plush suspension action and well-proportioned ergonomics make the Speed Twin a comfy bike for urban rides. (Joseph Agustin/)

A stout pair of Brembo Monoblocks shed speed quickly, and deliver a nice sharp bite for a streetbike, aided and abetted by the notably precise feel of the rear brake. Fixed, always-on ABS mitigates instability during braking. Our only gripe is that the front brake outmatches the capability of the suspension when ridden in a sporting manner.

We like the Speed Twin’s ergonomics, which are a nice balance between sport and comfort. (Joseph Agustin/)

A pair of round-face gauges evoke the past, but included rectangular LCD components inside them display gear position, fuel level, and range metrics. It’s a tasteful setup, but an all-digital dash akin to the Trident 660′s might be better. Round LED turn signals are functional and a nice styling touch, as is the LED taillight. Curiously, however, the Speed Twin still employs a halogen headlamp, which is nowhere near as bright as a modern LED unit.

Instrumentation is tasteful-looking and functional as well with its LCD meters inside each gauge pod. (Joseph Agustin/)

Attractive styling, a functional and charismatic parallel-twin engine, agile handling; the 2022 Speed Twin has a lot going for it. However, for the price it should have fully adjustable suspension and LED lighting. Add these features to an already handsome and enjoyable motorcycle and Triumph would have a truly stunning modern classic on its hands.

For die-hard motorcyclists, few things beat the freedom of riding off-road. Dirt bikes, unconfined by traffic laws and other constraints, are about charging across the land and cutting your own path. Every now and then we’re keen to throw some roost, and Suzuki’s 2022 RM-Z250 ($7,899) is a remarkably fun way to throw it.

Editor’s note: The RM-Z250 is a non-street-legal motorcycle for use on closed courses or in legal off-road riding areas.

We take a ride aboard Suzuki’s RM-Z250 dirt bike in this review. (Joseph Agustin/)

Suzuki, in contrast to the other big motorcycle manufacturers, offers a simpler off-road lineup. The RM-Z250 slots into its three-bike motocross segment. While these bikes are engineered for closed-course competition, not everyone lines up at the starting gate every time they ride.

Because this RM is a competition bike, there’s no kickstarter; it rests on either a removable axle-mounted triangle stand or a raised centerstand. The latter looks nicer, but it requires added effort to lift the 233-pound (claimed) yellow bike off the stand, and because of their lengthy suspension travel and ground clearance, moto bikes are tall by design. Still, a slim seat and nicely tapered radiator shrouds make it easy for an average-sized person to get comfortable at the controls.

Every now and then, it’s fun to throw some dirt bike roost and Suzuki’s RM-Z’s a great way to do it. (Joseph Agustin/)

Most modern dirt bikes employ electric start. Suzuki, on the other hand, wants riders to fire its liquid-cooled 249cc single the old fashion way, so it has gifted the bike a mechanical right-hand-side kickstarter. If you’re new to dirt biking it may seem like more of a chore, even if you’ll look cooler. If you’re the old-school type, one or two kicks, even ill-timed kicks, are enough to light the engine. A handy cold-start elevates idle in chilly weather.

Suzuki wants riders to light the engine the old-fashioned way with a mechanical kickstarter. Of course, it isn’t as convenient as a button but one or two kicks, even ill-timed kicks, are enough to fire it. (Joseph Agustin/)

Fuel injection gives the RM-Z crisp, immediate throttle response, and the engine drinks from a 1.7-gallon aluminum fuel tank, big enough for plenty of laps around most closed courses but limiting range for hourslong trail rides. Color-coded plug-and-play-style couplers tweak throttle response based on preference: The black plug is for a richer (more fuel-to-air) map, which is ideal for extended high-speed riding; conversely the white plug gives a leaner (less fuel-to-air) running condition, which enhances engine response. For our riding, the standard gray plug works fine.

While the RM-Z250 lacks some of the competition’s modern accoutrements, it looks cool in its Champion Yellow No. 2 colorway. (Joseph Agustin/)

Suzuki now includes a digital tuner it calls the MX-Tuner 2.0. This device lets the user tune the engine with their Android or iOS-powered smartphones by using the WiGET app; this app includes more preset maps and allows for custom fuel and ignition maps. It also keeps tabs on engine hours and running parameters. The tuner is also compatible with older fuel-injected RM-Z’s but is priced at $599.95 for the tool and, as the hardware requires auxiliary power from a user-supplied lead-acid motorcycle battery, $29.95 for the battery power plug.

Modern Suzukis turn on a dime, and we value this yellow bike’s precise handling. (Joseph Agustin/)

The RM-Z’s 36 hp engine has a nice responsive bark, but isn’t too loud. Bottom and midrange power is peppy, though the engine is a tad sluggish as it nears its redline at just over 13,000 rpm. If there were ever a dirt bike deserving of an aftermarket exhaust, the RM-Z250 is it. Unlike other high-revving 250s, this RM-Z feels best when short-shifted through its five-speed gearbox, so it’s a good thing that it has low, close-ratio gearing and a secure-shifting transmission. And the nicely weighted and responsive cable-actuated clutch is a good touch.

A slim seat and nicely tapered radiator shrouds make it easy for an average-sized person to get comfortable at the controls. (Joseph Agustin/)

Modern Suzukis turn on a dime, and we value this yellow bike’s precise handling. Heavier folks will appreciate the RM-Z’s heavy-duty coil-spring suspension setup, which makes for a better ride over big dips and G-outs. Still, things can get a tad twitchy at speed, especially in the rough stuff. The suspension offers a good range of damping adjustment, though average-sized dirt bikers will likely want a more supple spring rate.

In standard dirt bike form, the RM-Z rolls on a 21-inch front spoked wheel. The front brake offers pleasing stopping power but we wish it had a more aggressive pad compound. (Joseph Agustin/)

Hydraulic disc brakes provide adequate stopping power, but it would be nice if the front brake had a more aggressive brake pad compound. Both brake lever and pedal have a wide range of adjustment for riders based on preference.

Heavier guys and gals will appreciate the RM-Z’s heavy-duty coil-spring suspension. (Joseph Agustin/)

True, this isn’t the fastest dirt 250 out there. As usual, Suzuki rides the fine line between performance and value. And while the RM-Z250 lacks some of the competition’s modern accoutrements, it looks cool in its Champion Yellow No. 2 colorway and handles well, especially for plus-sized riders. Factor in the elevated Japanese build quality, and with a little bit of aftermarket love, you can have a trustworthy moto-steed set up to fit your own dirt bike freedom seeking.
