Discover the most suitable types of motorcycles for getting started, based on your profile, and the essential gear to ride with confidence.

Take your time

Building confidence progressively

Getting your license doesn't mean mastering everything right away. On the contrary, the first few months are the most important for building confidence. The ideal approach is to go gradually: ride often, but on familiar routes, vary your riding situations, practice solo then with a passenger. Don't hesitate to redo handling exercises or take a post-license training course.

It's by honing your technique and your reflexes that you become a safe, responsible rider… And one who's ready to fully enjoy their machine.

Versatile and accessible

Roadster: balance and maneuverability

The roadster is often the first choice for new riders.

Easy to handle, with an upright position and good balance, it suits both urban commutes and road rides. Light, stable and responsive, it lets you improve without feeling overwhelmed. If you're looking for a do-it-all machine, the roadster is an excellent starting point.

A bold style, but demanding

Sport bike: performance and precision

Sport bikes attract with their sleek design and dynamic performance. But be aware: their forward-leaning riding position demands a certain level of physical fitness and sharp reflexes.

These are ideal bikes for those who enjoy spirited riding, on winding roads or leisure circuits, provided they know their limits.

The ally for mixed-terrain commutes

Trail: comfort, height and versatility

The trail bike is perfect for those who want a motorcycle capable of tackling both city streets and off-road paths.

Its high riding position, comfortable ride and ability to handle road irregularities make it a reassuring and enduring motorcycle. It's an excellent choice for riders who love getaways and long distances, alone or two-up.
