Naked, scooter, trail or custom? Which type of motorcycle suits you?

"I want a motorcycle, but I don't know which one." This is the most common dilemma, and almost always the mistake is to start with the model instead of the type. First, choose which class of motorcycle fits your daily life and you'll be much more successful. We'll help you decide between the main types of motorcycle.

Naked: the all-rounder of the asphalt

The "classic" motorcycle, without fairing, with a natural riding position and wide handlebars. It's the most balanced: comfortable in the city, capable on the road, and easy to maintain. If it's your first motorcycle or you want a single motorcycle for everything, the naked is the safest bet.

For you if: you're looking for versatility and simplicity.

Scooter: the queen of the city

Automatic transmission, helmet storage, and total agility in traffic. There's nothing more practical for daily city commuting: you can park in any space, they're economical, and you forget about the clutch. They come in 125cc (perfect with a B licence after 3 years) and larger displacements for motorways.

For you if: the motorcycle is your daily transport.

Trail: for devouring the miles

Upright riding position, long suspension, and comfort for travelling. They were born for off-road, but today most are used on the road due to how comfortable and versatile they are. If you dream of long routes and getaways, this is your type. However, they tend to be a bit taller.

For you if: you want to travel and enjoy the road.

Custom: style, comfort, and presence

Low seat, classic lines, and a relaxed engine with plenty of low-end torque. They are ridden in a relaxed manner, and their laid-back position is very comfortable for cruises. Furthermore, being low, they inspire a lot of confidence. Pure character.

For you if: you value style and a relaxed ride.

Touring: miles without fatigue

The comfortable evolution of trail and naked motorcycles for those who live on the road: protective fairing, panniers, and a position designed for covering hundreds of miles in one go. Larger and heavier, but unbeatable for touring. Discover them among touring motorcycles.

What about sports motorcycles?

Beautiful and fast, but their leaned-forward riding position can be tiring in the city and on long journeys. As a first motorcycle, they can be demanding; if the sports world appeals to you, it's better to start with a sporty naked and make the leap later.

So, which one should I choose?

Summarise it like this: daily city use → scooter or naked; a motorcycle for everything → naked; travelling → trail or touring; style and cruising → custom. And if you've just passed your test, read our guide to the best motorcycles for an A2 licence.
