Hello, one way in advance I am a complete newcomer to the topic of motorcycles or two-wheelers in general and really depend on your objective opinion. I fulfilled the dream with 31 and spent a good month in Thailand. Who ever was there knows that you do not get far without a moped and from the moment I sat on it for the first time I caught the fever. Back in Austria I made the motorcycle driver’s license and was even more impressed by the feeling. Unfortunately, hardly anyone drives a motorcycle in my circle of acquaintances, which is why I hope to receive competent advice here. The most important corners to me and what I am looking for: 31 years old, 174 cm tall, rather faint. I am looking for a motorcycle for leisurely trips, certainly also more often with my girlfriend in the back. Since we plan to connect the whole with climbing or weekend trips I tend to a touring machine at the moment. I’m open to this, but Chopper is not at all in question for me. My maximum budget is 5,500 euros, but would be happy if it doesn’t exceed 5000. As far as the desired vehicle is concerned, I’m actually quite open. I’ve been aware of Honda, BMW and Triumph so far, but that doesn’t mean that others don’t come into question for me. As I’m aware that I don’t get a new machine with the budget, I’m more likely to be the point “costs.” n relevant to repairing. That’s why my instructor tended to think about a Honda at the time. How do you see that? Because of the excursions it is important to me that the motorcycle has the possibility to install suitcases. Besides general tips I would have a few concrete questions: – How much power is useful if I have to make weekend trips with my girlfriend in the back? I tend to something from 650 cc but I’m not sure. – Da ic h with 174 am not a giant now the question arises for me. Can I drive any bike at all or can one adapt each bike quite simply to my size? Or do certain motorcycles for me not even come into question? – What should I pay particular attention to when buying/selling a private bike?
