Do Not Buy Too Much Than What You Can Handle
It is possible that you are buying from the best brands like Moto Guzzi but the truth is that the quality of the scrambler will not keep you safe if you cannot control it right. When you buy a motorcycle make sure that the handlebars and the brakes are within easy reach and that you do not have to lean forward and strain to get to them. In addition to that make sure that you can place both your feet on the ground firmly when the vehicle is not moving and while you get on and get off the cycle it should feel light and stable. If it is too heavy you will lose balance. The models of today even if they have small displacement engines have a notably higher speed than those that were made about a decade ago. Therefore do not go for something that has high displacement at the beginning.
Put Some Cash into Antilock Brakes
Antilock brakes have been proven to save lives and are now available in a large range of models. If you have these brakes you are more likely to survive in a crash and even more likely to be able to avoid one completely. The reason for this is very simple to understand. In the case of normal brakes, the locking will stop the rider from being able to steer anything at all and that can cause the vehicle to skid and cause serious damage but with the use of antilock brakes the cycle itself will stop but you will be able to still steer which means that there will be no skidding and you most certainly will not go flying over the handlebars. It will also come in handy during the times like winter or during heavy rain when roads are all slick and slippery.
Improve Your Riding Skills
There is nothing that can help you out more than helping yourself. The first step to this is to learn to ride better every day. There is a lot to be learnt and some of these are tricky but the more you out yourself through the process and the more attention and will you put into becoming a safe and responsible rider, the more you will benefit. The last thing you or anybody wants is to have an accident so hone your skills as much as possible and become the best rider that you can be.
