A lot of people want to start riding motorcycles, but unsure which bike to purchase. Plenty of options out there for entry-level bikes, or easier to handle rides if you have not ridden in years. I talk through how the XSR700 (or MT-07 / FZ-07) fits into the beginner motorcycle equation with a few criteria I would consider when looking for a starter motorcycle. Enjoy the ride!
