Well hold on, I don't know much about motorcycles true, but I know a few things about engines. CCs aren't power, they're about engine displacement. Really whether it's a single piston, or twin, and if it's a twin, the angle, those are the things that influence the size of the bike.
So many variables.
Of course I guess 100 cubic centimeters of engine size shouldn't make a huge difference.
Guess I just need to test em out eh?
MC license first.
Actually I wasn't trying to imply that CC's *DIRECTLY* relate to power... only that there *IS* a relation. Of course, CC refers to a measure of the engine's cubic capacity and as such doesn't DIRECTLY reflect power but certainly has an influence on it. It, however, does not have an influence on HEIGHT of the total machine since the displacement of the engine can be pushed in any number of directions depending on the engineer -- that's all I was saying.
Yes, testing each one out to see how it "fits" you is really the best way to go.
You *COULD* get your MC license first, but why??? From what I understand only about 20% of riders in Utah are even licensed at all. I would say get your bike, while you are shopping work on getting the written test out of the way -- if you happen to get your bike prior to the test, no biggie. If you don't, even better.
To get your ACTUAL endorsement you're going to have to show up with a bike in-hand anyways... so you might as well start looking now.
