Motorcycles and their engines range in size and shape, and the size of the vehicle will impact the size of its engine. This fact may be obvious to most motorcycle riders with years of experience, but new motorcycle riders who are not aware of the difference may suffer serious injuries as a result. When operating a motorcycle with a larger engine, a rider must take the weight and torque of the motorcycle into consideration, because these factors are the leading cause of self-inflicted motorcycle crashes.
It is crucial for a motorcyclist to first determine that they are comfortable with the weight of the motorcycle and ensure that they can handle the power of the engine before they attempt to travel the roadway. Establishing comfort and familiarity with the vehicle’s size can be a life-saving preventive measure against motorbike accidents in St. Louis.
