Why Your First Motorcycle Should Be an Adventure Bike

Motorcycles are an exciting, efficient, and stylish way to get around, but if you’re trying to find the perfect first motorcycle, you should consider adventure bikes! We here at Willamette Valley Harley-Davidson want to make sure you feel prepared to ride no matter your destination, so we’ve put together a few reasons why adventure bikes should be your first choice, below.

Safety and Freedom

Adventure bikes are one of the few motorcycle types that can safely ride both on and off the road, making them ideal for beginners just learning to ride. For one thing, you don’t have to worry quite so much about dipping off the shoulder into grass and dirt, since the bike can take it, and you’re more likely to be able to recover. You can also go off-road safely, allowing you to ride to an off-road park or trail, then right on in!

Comfort

Most street bikes have a lower sitting position while off-road motorcycles tend to keep you standing up. While sitting is nice for long drives on the road, allowing you to relax your legs a bit, standing is more comfortable when you start hitting the bumps that are inevitable on untamed terrain. With an adventure bike, you can safely do both, ensuring you feel comfortable and refreshed no matter where you ride.
