Choosing your first motorcycle is an exhilarating moment that marks the beginning of countless adventures on the open road. However, the vast array of options available can easily overwhelm anyone. Among the top choices for beginner riders is Kawasaki®, a brand renowned for its beginner-friendly and inherently fun motorcycles. When selecting your first bike, it's essential to consider size, power, budget, and what feels right for you. Kawasaki® offers a range of motorcycles that cater to these needs, making them a go-to for new riders. 

Kawasaki® Ninja Series

  • Ninja 400/Z400: These models stand out as fantastic starter choices for their manageable power, comfortable ergonomics, and the option for ABS, which can help new riders feel more secure. Their light weight and easy handling make the learning curve less steep.
  • Ninja 650: This model might appeal to those looking for a bit more power and a sportier aesthetic but still values the approachability of a beginner bike. It strikes a fine balance between performance and ease of use.
  • Kawasaki® Dual-Sport and Adventure Options
  • KLX Series (110, 140, 230, 300): These bikes are versatile and lightweight, presenting an excellent opportunity for learning both on-road and off-road riding skills. The series offers a range from smaller to larger models, making it easier to find one that suits your size and experience level.
  • Versys-X 300: With its focus on adventure-touring, this bike offers a taller seat height and excellent all-around capability, making it a compelling choice for those who dream of a bit of everything.

Cruiser Option

  • Vulcan S: This model features a relaxed riding position and a low seat height, making it welcoming for beginners. Its customizable Ergo-Fit system allows for adjustments to fit a wide range of riders comfortably.

Important Considerations

  • Power and Weight: It's crucial to choose a motorcycle that feels comfortable and manageable, offering enough power without being overwhelming.
  • Seat Height: Being able to flat-foot while on the bike is vital for confidence, especially for beginners.
  • Price: Kawasaki® motorcycles are available in a range of prices that cater to different budgets. Don't overlook the option of starting with a used motorcycle.
  • Safety: Invest in quality safety gear and consider taking a motorcycle safety course to build your skills and confidence on the road.
