️🏍️Best Motorcycles for Girls for 2020

The first motorcycle was created in 1885 and since then the number of fans of this vehicle has only grown. Two-wheeled "horses" are loved not only by men - women are no less successful in mastering motorcycles. The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you an overview of the best motorcycle transport for girls for 2020.

Motorcycles - what are

A vehicle on two (sometimes three) wheels, equipped with a motor - that's what a motorcycle is. Among the main distinguishing features of such a transport should be mentioned the vertical seating position of the driver, the presence of side platforms and footrests, as well as the gearless control of the front wheel with a swivel function.

There are the following types of motorcycles:

1. Classical;
2. Tourist;
3. Cruiser;
4. Enduro;
5. Sports;
6. Electric;
7. Scooter.

Classic motorcycle

Bikes of the classic type appeared first and in fact are transport for every day. Their design is characterized by minimalism, ease of maintenance and ease of use. But modern classics often use technologies that come from sports.

Classic bikes can be of any size (from 50 to 2000 cm³⁾, but they are all united by one important factor - the geometry of the pilot's landing. In classic designs, it is straight, that is, the driver sits straight, not leaning back or bending forward with support on the steering wheel. This type of driving is the most convenient for long-term driving.

It is believed that the best representatives of classic bikes are "Japanese". Such as Kawasaki ZRX-1200, Suzuki GSF-1200 Bandit, Yamaha XJR-1300.

Streetfighters are also considered classics - motorbikes that came from sports. The Street Fighter is essentially a sport bike with a minimum of cladding, which is necessary for city driving.

Tourist

Touring models came from the classic ones. Among their main features should be noted a large cubic capacity and equipment with a plastic fairing. Touring motorbikes are considered to be a transitional stage between classic and sport-tourist designs. Tourists are distinguished from the latter by lower power and not adaptability for fast driving. But for long trips on asphalt roads, they are perfect.

Touring motorcycles head the lineup of many specialized firms. One of the advantages is that it is very comfortable to travel on intercity routes, and the number of available options that the devices are equipped with put them on a par with executive cars. The disadvantages include the high cost, as well as the significant size and weight due to which they are poorly suited for the city.

Cruiser

Cruisers are a series of motor vehicles that have been largely shaped by Harley-Davidson technology.This world famous bike manufacturer is engaged in the production of cruisers, keeping the design and following the design features.

For cruisers, duplex or half-duplex steel frames, plastic cladding in the form of deep fenders and large side covers, an abundance of chrome-plated parts, wheels of the same diameter in which the rear wheel is noticeably wider, as well as separate passenger and driver seats are characteristic. The wide rudder of a specific shape ensures the pilot's landing in such a way that his body deviates slightly back. At the same time, the footrests allow you to keep your feet near the engine - in front of you. The luggage trunks are designed as side bags and the fuel tank has a teardrop shape. The comfortable rear suspension with one or two shock absorbers absorbs bumps in the road, making the cruiser a good choice for off-road use.

In general, cruisers are the personification of the biker lifestyle, but at the same time they are considered a fairly conservative class of bikes, which also include:

• dragsters - the popularity of such models is based on speed characteristics, which allow dragsters on straight sections of the road to bypass even sports bikes;
• luxury cruisers - due to their equipment, they are suitable for long trips;
• power cruisers are powerful and high-speed vehicles, the engine of which is characterized by a large cubic capacity - more than 100 hp. In terms of acceleration dynamics, they are close to sports options;
• custom - stand out from the rest of the factory bikes and are present on the market either in the form of unique designs or in the form of limited editions. Partially assembled from serial parts, which are complemented by those that were created directly by the creator of the bike.

Enduro

The name of the class comes from the English word "endurance". Enduros are designed for driving on bad roads and off-road, but they are also capable of cutting along urban asphalt roads, and therefore such motorbikes are equipped with all the necessary lighting equipment. Enduros feature long travel suspensions to tackle uneven terrain, as well as a wide and tall handguard with hand guards, a half-duplex frame and a large front fender designed to protect the driver.

In addition to the enduro itself, this category also includes:

• cross motorbikes - designed for motorcycle racing over rough terrain, but prohibited on public roads;
• hard enduro - have rigid suspension and a sporty orientation, suitable for civilian use;
• tourist - designed for the conditions of races like "Paris-Dakar", that is, for long trips in autonomous mode on bad roads. Need a highly qualified driver;
• motards - standard enduros, equipped with brakes and sports bike wheels. Suitable for driving on both asphalt and ground. They can be used in the city, but due to the high speed and power, they require special skills from the driver;
• trial - designed for tracks of such complexity, where you cannot pass by any other vehicle. They are as light as possible.

Sports

They were originally designed taking into account the conditions of motorcycle racing.

When creating a sports bike, the emphasis is mainly on maximum engine power and maximum handling, taking into account high speeds.

The features of sports models include:

• plastic sheathing to improve air resistance;
• the use of the maximum number of light-alloy parts;
• equipping with brakes, which provide the driver with fast and controlled braking even at high speeds;
• seating position with a strong forward bend, footpegs raised and pushed back.

Civilian versions of sports bikes are equipped with the necessary lighting elements. Racing variants are created without headlights and turn signals, as they are not needed on the track. Special rubber is installed on sports models: for racing - without a tread pattern, for the city - with maximum control and braking efficiency.

Electric motor vehicle

At the heart of the electric motorcycle is the body of a sports bike, equipped with a block battery. The duration and distance of the trip depends on the capacity of the latter.

The advantages of electric transport are savings on gasoline, no need to fill in oil, no harmful emissions, no need to register (with engine power up to 4000 volts).

Cons - high cost, long charging time, low mileage on a single charge, drop in battery capacity in the cold, lack of the necessary specialists at most service stations.

Scooter

The scooter, aka motor scooter, first appeared in Italy as an inexpensive alternative to a car. The attractiveness of the scooter lies in the fact that it is as easy to operate as possible and is designed for everyday use by an inexperienced driver.

Since their inception, scooters have been popular with young people. And today they exist in several modifications. For example, three-wheeled scooters or cargo options with a wide rear wheel or cab. In general, scooters are characterized by the presence of a set of lighting equipment for moving around the city at a speed of 60-90 km per hour.

How to choose

Main selection criteria:

1. A type;
2. Cooling system;
3. Number of cylinders;
4. Working volume;
5. Engine power;
6. Tact;
7. Start type.

A type

The type of motorcycle is determined by its design and purpose. The following options are presented in the consumer market:

• cross - used in cross-country sports racing;
• pit bike is a subspecies of a mini-motorcycle designed for road or off-road riding. There are modifications for both beginners and professional drivers;
• motard is a bike that combines the characteristics of a road and cross motorbike. Unlike the motard motard, it is equipped with tires for driving on asphalt roads;
• pocket bike - it is lightweight and highly maneuverable on the road, which allows you to pick up speed above 100 km / h;
• tourer - suitable for long-distance tourist trips.

Cooling system

There are two ways to lower the temperature of your bike engine - air and liquid.

Air cooling removes heat from the motor by blowing air. Motor vehicles with air cooling are easy to recognize - they have specific radiator "fins" on the engine walls.

Air cooling can be arbitrary or forced. Forced cooling is caused by the installation of a fan that blows air into the motor when the naturally supplied air flow is insufficient. This cooling method has a significant drawback in the form of significant noise that the bike begins to produce. However, with natural cooling, vehicles can quickly overheat during periods of inactivity. And then the driver is forced to turn off the engine and wait until it cools down.

Liquid cooling involves a more complex cooling procedure, during which the cylinders are washed with liquid, which is pumped through the pump, following the circuit of the system. Then the hot liquid enters the radiator, where it is cooled by the fan.

Liquid-cooled models are considered more reliable because the system keeps the motor stable. However, at a price they are more expensive than air-cooled counterparts.

Number of cylinders

The more cylinders in the motor, the better. This is a guarantee of engine power and volume. The number of cylinders affects the crankshaft stroke and the thermal state of the piston group. But there is a certain disadvantage - a motor equipped with a large number of cylinders has a large size and a high price.

Working volume

The parameter of the working volume of the engine means the volume of its cylinders. This indicator is measured in cm³ and varies by model. The working volume is important for the reason that fuel consumption depends on it to a certain extent.

The advice of experts says that it is not worth purchasing a transport with a motor of too small a volume, since the power and resources of such a transport are minimal. And there is a high probability of early engine failure.

Engine power

Power determines the speed characteristics of the vehicle. It depends on the type of bike, as well as the volume of the cylinders. Measured in horsepower (hp).

Power should be selected with a margin - this is the key to mechanical reliability and strength.

Tact

Stroke refers to the number of strokes in the working process of the motor, which are two-stroke and four-stroke.

The 2-stroke engine is good for its simple and inexpensive design, but needs special fuel and oil. It is allowed to use 95 or 92 gasoline, previously combined with oil. However, this increases the wear rate of parts, because it is very difficult to mix gasoline and oil in the correct proportions. It should also be noted that, due to the poor-quality composition, the motor functions unstably, breaks down faster and forms a carbon deposit.

The 4-stroke motor is more complex. Its cost is higher due to the laborious production process. The advantages are economical fuel consumption, reduced noise and vibration, less dirty exhaust emissions, and there is no need to constantly monitor the oil level.

Engine start type

There is a foot (kick starter) and electric starting mode.

Electric starting is carried out by a battery starter by turning the key - just like in a car. This method is familiar and simple, however, it is considered less reliable than a kick starter, because the battery can be discharged, and the starter can break.

Advantages and disadvantages

Main technical characteristics

room	Specifications	Recommendations
1	Frame material	The frames are made of steel and steel alloys. The most popular material is chromium-molybdenum alloy. Less commonly used are aluminum, carbonate, titanium, magnesium. The material affects the rigidity and weight of the frame, as well as the overall weight distribution of the vehicle.
2	Brake	The motorbike has front and rear brakes. At high speeds when driving on asphalt, it is recommended to brake with the front brake, and therefore its characteristics are more priority. At low speeds, it is advised to brake with the rear brake, in emergency situations - to squeeze both.
3	Transmission	Automatic or manual transmission possible. Automatic is good in that there is no need to manually switch gears. Automatic models have a more streamlined body, compact size and good proportions. Control of such vehicles is carried out by pressing buttons on the steering wheel, which is much easier than mechanics and allows you to focus on the road. Mechanical boxes are more cost effective and easier to maintain. They also allow full control of the bike's power.
4	Maximum speed	Indicates the maximum possible speed indicators that a particular bike can achieve.
5	Fuel tank volume	The fuel tank can have a volume of 1 to 30 liters. The larger the fuel tank, the more the motorcycle can pass without refueling (taking into account fuel consumption), but a large tank affects the size of the vehicle and its weight, significantly increasing them.
6	Fuel consumption	Fuel consumption depends on bike type, displacement and driving style. Information on fuel consumption, as a rule, contains a technical description for the transport.
7	Number of passengers	As standard, the bike accommodates two passengers. Certain racing variants may have a seat exclusively for the pilot.
8	Lighting engineering	It is necessary for the operation of transport in urban traffic conditions, as well as on intercity highways for civil use. Vehicles not equipped with light elements cannot be used outside the race track.
9	Trunk	Many civilian models have a luggage compartment to which it is possible to attach a carry-on bag. It should be remembered that the weight of the baggage together with the weight of the passengers must not exceed the maximum permissible weight for a particular vehicle.
10	Overall dimensions	The smaller the bike, the more maneuverable and easier to handle.
11	Weight	Structures weighing from 30 to 220 kg are presented on the market.
12	How much is	Prices for motorcycles vary depending on the manufacturer and technical capabilities. On average, a good option for a girl can be purchased for 70-100 thousand rubles.

How to choose your first motorcycle

In order to avoid mistakes when choosing, girls should pay attention to the following points:

• To drive two-wheeled vehicles, you will need a driver's license with a special category of admission ("A"). To get it, you need to master a training course in a driving school, and then pass an exam. As a rule, the process of obtaining a license takes about three months.
• According to statistics, motorcyclists are killed on the road 29 times more often than motorists. Therefore, one should not rely on luck and ignore basic safety rules, one of which is the use of high-quality protective equipment.
• You should not invest in the purchase of a "horse" released in the period from the late 90s to the early 2000s. The fact is that most of these bikes are already technically outdated and not suitable for a comfortable and safe ride.
• For a beginner in the motorcycle world, transport that left the assembly line no more than 10 years ago is suitable.
• Girls love everything that has an attractive and bright appearance, but a minimum of plastic is a guarantee that you do not have to regularly paint, solder and change the fairings.
• A common model is not so bad, because it is much easier to find spare parts for popular motorbikes.
• At first, there will be many mistakes, which is quite natural, but it is important to prepare for them by choosing a calm engine.
• Which is the best bike to buy? This question is difficult to answer, but you shouldn't buy a bike with an eye to life - tastes change, as well as transport requirements.

Which company is better to buy a bike
