Correct answer
Assess the model’s weight, power and handling against the rider’s experience and needs.
Assess the specific model: weight, power, dimensions, handling and maintenance, in relation to the rider’s experience, physical ability and needs. A name or style does not guarantee that every such motorcycle is easy to ride, stable or inexpensive to maintain. A heavier or more powerful motorcycle may be harder to handle. Also check that your licence authorises the vehicle; appearance does not determine its legal category.
