Which scenario breeds the better rider?
Just trying to facilitate some discussion as always:
Okay these are some "generalizations" so use your own frame of reference to guide you. Which scenario below would you say would result in a more skilled rider? A) Riding a cruiser say 25,000 miles then going to a sportbike? B) Riding a sportbike for 25,000 miles then going to a cruiser? And just for extra credit: C) Riding a harley for 150 miles and going back to a bike:lol: |
Miles are not really relevant, but how you used the motorcycle. I would say a track rider who commutes on a bike regulary is a more experienced rider overall than only a track rider or only a commuter. BUT...since you put a cruiser first (which most likely never seen a track), I'll say choice B.
|
Depends how big the cruiser is. If it's some 800-lb monster, the rider will probably spend all that time chicken-footing it around, learning almost nothing.
|
I dunno, there are some folks out there who can throw down on a cruiser

in fact that should have been the #1 choice in your survey |

In reality it'll be the guy that is willing to explore the limits of whatever bike he's on and has the skill to use it. Yes a sportbike is more capable but if all the rider does is run fast on the straights and cruise the main drag... There are a lot of sportbike riders out there that can only outrun me on a straight.
I'd agree with Homeslice, the one that started on dirt at 5 and never quit riding ;) |
For what it's worth, I intentionally left dirt bikes and riders off. I fall in that category of starting out early as a kid on dirt bikes so I agree with that school of thought.
|
Just riding, period. The learning curve from one type of bike to another depends on the rider IMO
|
I'm going with riding a sportbike then a cruiser...
