Choosing an Off-Road Motorcycle

Apr. 9 2019 Miscellaneous By ___

Sometimes the paved road is just too tame. You crave trying your hand at the unpredictable and unkempt road instead. Off-road motorcycles offer all the fun of riding a motorcycle but with the thrill of riding them in the backwoods. Read on to learn how to find your ideal model, then see the choices for sale at Abernathy's Cycles. Our dealership is located in Union City, Tennessee.

The Engine

One way to narrow your search is to think about what type of engine you want on your dirt bike. Most engines on off-road motorcycles are going to be either two-stroke or four-stroke engines. Models that have two-stroke engines are going to be lighter. This makes it easier to handle but harder to control. Models with four-stroke engines are going to be heavier, but easier to control.

The Models

Next, you can consider what type of dirt bike you want to focus on. A general all-purpose model is going to be great for the average rider to enjoy a range of terrain types. These tend to be options such as recreational models and trail bikes. Beginner riders can especially benefit from these options since they balance out control and speed well.

Some riders hope to test their skills at the racetrack. If you love the thrill of competition, then you will want an off-road motorcycle tailored to this high-performance lifestyle. Options such as motocross bikes are going to supply the speed and agility you need to leave your competitors far behind eating your dust.

You can also find off-road motorcycles that are built to handle dirt and paved roads. This allows your vehicle to be more versatile and you can get the most out of riding it thanks to the greater number of areas you can use it.

Of course, reading about the various types of dirt bikes is one thing and experiencing them in person is another!
