Ah, I just read that you’re in Poland. I should have realized I was talking to a European. I see the disconnection now. I was having a real hard time wrapping my head around a 250cc motorcycle being too big. Some explanation is in order.
We don’t even have 150cc (or lower) street bikes here. Bikes like the CBR125, Vadero, Marauder 125, Van Van etc, etc, aren’t available in America. They’re for European consumption only. Even dual sports are 250cc and up this side of the pond. The only 125cc class bikes here would be off-road, and with the different gearing and powerband, they’d be even more likely to get away from a beginner.
In America, the 250cc Rebel is a favorite of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, the group that teaches more beginners than anyone. The only 150cc vehicles here are scooters with automatic transmissions and little 12” wheels.
gaaah, no, I’m not European. I’m from DE, I moved here last year (with the wife!)
