Easy Riders Vs. Super Bikes

Riding a motorcycle is definitely an experience like no other. You cannot compare riding a motorcycle to driving a car or even an SUV. The feel of the wind on your face, the revving engine between your thighs, the torque of the bike once you accelerate the gas, these are just some of the things which make motorcycle riding much fun and exciting than driving a car. It is such a dilemma though as to which kind of “coolness” you would want to ride, an easy rider type of motorcycle or a super bike. Now, what’s the difference? Which one should you pick? Singapore bikes are so many to choose from so here are some tips as to which kind of bike best suits you:

• Easy rider for coolness and comfort

There are different types of easy rider bikes which can be custom made or made by Harley Davidson.  The most popular easy riders in the world are the Harleys. If you have seen the American TV Series American Chopper, most of the bikes there are easy riders and custom built. The Harley Davidson Hydra Glide is one special bike which is a very popular easy rider. Other custom easy riders put icing on the cake by replacing the ordinary handle bars with monkey bars. These modifications make the ride cooler than the ordinary easy rider.

Another cool thing about the easy rider is that you can sit on it like sitting on a sofa. Why? Some easy riders have a backrest. From this you can tell that the easy rider is built for comfort and not for racing. Easy riders are meant to be driven for long trips like cross countries. You can relax and sit back while you feel the wind on your face. In terms of horsepower, easy riders can have an engine capacity of 1200cc and above, so power is no question.

Most easy riders are classic rides which can be as old as 1950s models. If you are into classic comfortable motorcycles, the easy rider is for you.

• Super Bike for that sporty daring look

 If you are into that sporty type look when driving a motorcycle, you can opt to choose the super bike over easy rider. Some famous superbikes now available for purchase in Singapore are the Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale and the BMW S1000R. These superbikes do not just look cool but are powerful to its bone. This Italian bike show a jaw dropping style with its structural design and at the same time boast a 195Hp at 10,750 Rpm power. The bike doesn’t come cheap priced at $46,000 but it sure is the luxury of superbikes.

The BMW S1000R is one to envy as well. Its aggressive design makes you respect the rider. This German bike has a scary four cylinder engine which can reach up to 11000 rpm. This bike is to be respected once it hits the road. All other bikes would seem like bare bones.

Choose the best bike that suits your personality. Choose for style, comfort and power.
