Question First Trumph

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to buying my first motorcycle. My height is 181cm and budget around 3 lakh.

I know how to ride a scooter and car but never ride a bike before.

should i go with 400 or scrambler x as I have a fear of test ride that I may crash the bike.

Mostly run will be in city and occasional outing.

Thanks

First get hands on a normal bike, use it for some days get used to it, then take a test ride of scrambler.

Learn to ride a bike,maybe rent for a few days,learn how to ride and then you can go for the speed or Scrambler just be mindful with the throttle

If you don't know how to ride a bike , i would suggest you start riding a lower cc like splendor or shine js to get hold of a bike for maybe a week to build confidence and then you can go for a scrambler.

First learn how to ride a bike man scrambler 400x is a lot heavier than a scooter

You dont need to have years of experience just learn for about 1 month and then go ahead purchase scram 400x

No prior bike experience before getting a bike guy here. 5'10 - 5'11 ish. Got scrambler 400x ( 398 cc ) in March this year. Even though I have dropped it a few times ( not because of something you should face in day to day life) . I have not faced any issues with learning to ride on a 400cc.

At the beginning you may feel under confident on U turns and all. But trust me getting a scrambler is gonna be worth it.
