Advice for my first bike
Hey, guys, it's great to be here.
I've been interested in doing a big trip on a bike for a long time now, mainly because of my trips in cars across Europe, and I would love to head out on a bike soon. However, I've yet to ride a bike! I have no real knowledge of what I should be looking for, so any tips would be great.
From browsing this and other forums, I've read lots of praise for Honda bikes. Are these the best?
Because of funding, I would prefer to get one from 250cc to 600cc.
Would I be better off with a small bike, as I'm not used to riding?
I plan to head across Europe, sticking to the roads and then go across Africa. I'd love to travel all the way down to South Africa. I would definetly like to go across Asia at some point though, so I'm after a bike which will be able to do all of these.
Any recommendations would be great!
I'm not knowledgeable to ask any further questions, though I'm sure I'll make future threads.
By the way, I'm loving reading all these amazing stories. Its been an idea that's stuck in my head for ages and coming on here and seeing all these fantastic pictures and tales? Every time I come on here, I act like a kid on Christmas Day. It's real pleasure to browse this wonderful forum.
Thanks!
