1) Choose by route, not by photo

If you will ride in the city and do short transfers, a 125-300cc scooter makes life easier. If you plan curves and longer stages, a naked or sport-touring bike gives you more stability and comfort.

2) Match power to your experience

With an A2 licence or limited experience, prioritize predictable and friendly bikes. More power does not always mean more fun: on scenic trips, an easy bike is often safer and more enjoyable.

3) Think about luggage and passenger

If you travel with a passenger or luggage, consider posture, seat comfort and carrying capacity. A very sporty bike can become tiring on long days.
