Cruiser bikes
If you're looking for a motorbike with its own sense of style, a Cruiser makes a real statement. Cruiser's provide a laid back approach to riding, with low seats and a relaxed riding position, ideal for new riders and those who want to take it slow down those long roads. The Harley Davidson is the most well known of the cruisers, but BMW, Yamaha and Kawasaki among others, make great bikes for all you easy riders out there.

Naked bikes
Naked bikes, or street bikes as they are also known, provide a more traditional approach to riding. Offering less horsepower than a sports bike, but more performance than a cruiser, a naked bike is one of the easiest to learn on. With good balance, a smooth modern engine and inexpensive to repair, they make an ideal first bike.

Scooters and mopeds
Scooters and mopeds are becoming an increasingly popular option in today's economic climate. Cheap, reliable and fun to ride around town, these bikes offer a freedom unrivalled by many other modes of transport. A scooter's engine is generally less than 125 cc, however the 'maxi-scooter' is emerging as an option for those wanting a little more power in their engine. A moped's engine is usually up to 50 cc and is an ideal vehicle for first time riders or small bike enthusiasts.
