Which motorcycle  to start with ?

Have you just obtained your A2 license?

Discover the most suitable types of motorcycles for beginners, depending on your profile, and the essential equipment for riding with confidence.

Take your time

Managing your beginnings gradually

Getting your license doesn't mean you have everything under control from the start. On the contrary, The first few months are the most important for building confidence. The ideal is to take it gradually: drive often, but on familiar routes, vary the driving situations, test it out alone and then with a partner. Don't hesitate to repeat handling exercises or train with a post-license course.

It is by perfecting your technique and reflexes that you become a safe, responsible motorcyclist... and ready to take full advantage of your machine.
