As a beginner, I'd like to ask for your advice
Hey,
I’m pretty new to this group. The situation is that I’m just about to get my A2 driver’s license, which covers motorcycles up to 35 kW here. I’ve been searching the internet for a while now for various tips and advice for getting started—what to watch out for and so on. I’m also choosing my first motorcycle, and even though everyone tells me an older bike would be better for a beginner, I’d like to go with a new one. The Benda Chinchilla 500 v2 really caught my eye—it’s a great price, and the dealer told me that people love it, it’s reliable, and there aren’t any problems with it.
But I’d like to ask you, fellow riders who’ve been riding for a long time. Could you give me some advice on what to expect when I start out—whether it’s about riding, gear, or the bike itself? I’d appreciate any advice.
Thanks and best regards,
