How to choose a motorcycle
Accessories that suit your
character
By looking at your character you can tell what kind of
motorcycle is suitablefor you. If you enjoy riding in high speeds than you should buy a sport motorcycle
such as Yamaha R1, Honda cbr Suzuki R series but not a chopper.
If you like to ride with comfort, consider Africa twin of Honda or BMW R-1200GS.
If you are a fashion guy then try the Kawasaki VN 800 Cruiser or Intruder 800/1400cc
or maybe even Harley Davidson.
If you like the open spaces (not the one in your office..) then buy yourself
a Dualpurpose or Enduro
Motorcycle.
Choosing the right
motorcycle accessories is important. as choosing the right
motorcycle.
Motorcycle Apparel
While taking into consideration how much you will spend on your
bike add to this amount almost the same again for apparel and a
good helmet. - The cost of good apparel can cost nearly as
much as the bike itself. Whatever you do, do not think that
you are going to save money buy not purchasing the correct
clothing, jacket, gloves, boots and of course a helmet , this
could be a life or death decision.
Make sure that the jacket and helmet fit you well - you can
check in the internet or magazines or local stockists for what
clothing is best for you.

Motorcycle
boots
Motorcyle boots are an essential accessory for
your protection, from children riding in the backyard on a toy
bike or yourself on the wide open road. Again the type of boots
you need depends on the type of riding that you do - the most
important factor is the right type and the right size - they must
not be too big or too small as they are for protection and not a
fashion statement.
Leather Driving Gloves
Gloves are also as important for your safety
and protection as the clothing boots and helmet. - Gloves protect
your hands from a hot steering wheel and also the cold of the
winter air. Motorcycle leather gloves have ventilation for
the summer sun as well.
Gloves come in many stypes and colours that
are suitable for men and women alike.
Below is a short list of some of the most
popular gloves.
- Hand sewn leather driving gloves
- Whip-stitched leather driving gloves
- Deer skin with snap leather driving gloves

- Deer skin with velcro leather driving gloves
- Shorty driving leather driving gloves
Trousers
Trousers
are not as essential as the other clothing and a good pair of
thick jeans can do a good job, however jeans should be well fitted
and .not baggy but not tight enough to cut of the blood supply

Road
Protection
By
far the best possible protection is the padded leather jackets,
trousers and suits. You dont intend to crash and go bouncing
along the road, however it is very possible that this could happen
to you - the injuries may not be life threating but the beleive me
you will be much better off after falling if you were well
protected, jeans are ok - but dont think you will be able to wear
them after a crash.
Rain
Protection
It is
Obvious that you need rain protection, you must make sure that the
waterproof garments that you are wearing are also fire resistant,
when purchasing waterproof gear make sure you buy a size big
enough to put over .your clothes so they will keep you warm and
safe as well as dry
Saddle Bags
The size of the saddle bag you need is entirely for your own
comfort, when purchasing a saddle bag take into consideration what
you need to put in it and how long a distance you intend to go.
Below you can see various accessories that are used with
motorcycles.
