Thanks to those who discouraged me 4 years ago, now the basic requirements for my new job expects me to learn how to ride a bike or you get fired.

Tried Once, bike fell on my leg and I got a scratch, I have been shying away since then I have to learn by fire by force else

Any pointers it's a 125cc but heavier than bajaj

GAZZUZZ:


Welcome on board .

Kindly start with at least 250cc air cooled Suzuki you should be fine.

Good day great people with great minds. I am interested in acquiring a power bike
1. I don't know how to ride a bike but I can ride a bicycle
2. I don't need something fast or show off
3. I need a good Nigerian used one because of my thin budget, what will you advice I watch out for when inspecting.
4. I heard Willoughby in oyingbo area is the best place to get a deal, is this true?
5. Is diy easy on power bike and the best and easy bike to own and maintain is?
6. I intend to use it between Lagos and ogun state.

Thank you as you give an unbiased information.

honestly I don't know how you got the idea of riding a power bike from a bicycle it will not end well,I had such ideas when I was in school and my dear friend told me to halt buying one until I have actually riden one to know if it is what I really wanted,we got a Kawasaki ninja with 4 cylinders and after a few turns with it I decided that I still have things to do with my life,the power,acceralation,balance is something else,it's best left for fearless men that has ridden bikes for many years, imagine riding something with two wheels with so much power that I can't think of any vehicle in Nigeria that can overtake that beast of a bike the Kawasaki gpz9000 ninja, 0 to 97-100 km/hr in 3.5 seconds,

The 125cc is company standard my issue is any pointer to riding bike

GAZZUZZ:


If you can drive manual car and ride a bike, then just find a large parking lot and ride alone, in a couple of minutes you will get the hang of it.

nurey:


I dey move manual wella I no be indomie generation. Issue is with steady handle and interchange of clutch to hand, gear to leg

diportivo:


Let me derail small.....vex at ur own peril

For number one,



Beta goan rent bajaj motorcycle and go learn how u will use ur hand to accelerate and ur foot to shift between gears while ur oda hand is clutching down

For number 2

If these qualities are what u seek,then I don't see the point in owning a power bike

Get a moped aka vespa aka scooter as suggested by oga lexus

Problem is,na hand that one gear dey oh

We all die someday and some how, if you look death in the eye, then a shinigami will never take your soul from your body.

I only need the bike for a rough terrain. With bike it takes about 30minute journey, with car it's around 1hr to 1hr 20mins journey de pending on season.

My sienna and aunts navigator are beginning to complain of the bad road

nurey:


Do you want to live forever? Won't it be a blessing to die riding what you love

2 years after I realized there is no expert in bike riding, you fall if you intend to prove stubborn or defy law of physics

It's fun riding a Bike as you wizz pass traffic and slide through sand.

okoroemeka:
it is fun riding a bike you can control the power,the accerlaration of most power bikes defy law of physics,I just got myself a 50cc Honda dio scooter last year in nnewi for #120k,I love the ease of shutting effortless in a bike but I don't want to die in the process

Wear a helmet, keep a respectable speed and you did survive

NamedEnna:



So

- which bike did you ultimately get
Haujue xpress 125cc
- ease of getting the power bike's spare parts
Bought brand-new won't need parts until after a year
- best gist for new riders
You would inadvertently fall many times, pick yourself up and never give up

okoroemeka:
my scooter will not even go past 60km/h,it is speed limited to go no further,but I don't think you can keep a respectable speed in a power bike,once you start the engine you are possessed by a Japanese speed spirit that will not allow anything to overtake you,infact if you are riding a power bike and okada man,corolla,Camry,etc overtakes you then you have no business riding it,I recently watched a video of a power bike dusting a Bugatti Veyron and a Lamborghini murcilego, incredible speed,

nurey:


If you have seen a colleagues remains picked on the road inside polyethylene bag then you will control yourself when that speed spirit tries to possess you
