It is difficult to get excited about smaller entry level [[motorcycles]] than the semi-annual introductions of motorcycles that run the gamut of designs between those that look like semis and those that look sleek like a bullet. | |||
Fashionable or not, however, the lightweights are usually designed to warrant inclusion into [[Motorcycle Safety Foundation]] riding courses. If you've ever taken a motorcycle training class, you've seen these bikes at ranges across the country. The MSF declares that a motorcycle must fit two out the following three criteria to qualify as a trainer for its curriculum: | |||
* It must have an [[engine]] displacement of 500 cubic centimeters or less. | |||
* It must have an unladen weight of 400 pounds or less. | |||
* It must have a seat height of 30 inches or less. | |||
These also make good starting points for beginning riders to look for on their search for their first motorcycle. | |||
