Beginner

Beginner sport bikes are entry level motorcycles that are meant to introduce riders to the sport bike design. They are relatively inexpensive, lightweight, and durable. There are minimal to no fairings installed to cut down on cost and maintenance if the motorcycle were to be dropped. Although capable of more power, the engines are usually detuned for longevity and durability. Beginner sport bikes can usually accommodate riders of all heights and weights.

Examples include the Suzuki GS500 and Kawasaki Ninja 500R/250R.
