It is also immensely handy, with a huge for a scooter storage compartment under the seat, a bag hook on the front column, and more than enough power to handle two-up riding on city streets. Not surprising, as Piaggio is the parent company of supersport manufacturer Aprilia.
A lightweight scooter with pretty much everything slung down low and surprisingly stiffly sprung, the Zuma will still get you around the city comfortably. It is amazingly tossable, has enough grunt to make cornering fun, and has impressively large brakes for a scooter, speaking to its fun-loving character.
Yes, scooter racing is a thing. For , the Honda PCX sits perfectly at the center of the three most important things about scooters: efficiency, usability, and fun. Borrowing the styling from maxi-scooters, the PCX has a very city-friendly shape and makes two-up riding a breeze as well. The cc engine also has some great poke, with 14 HP and a super-efficient fuel injection system that sees the efficiency approach MPG. It also, unlike many scooters in the class, has a 12V accessory adapter, LED headlights, a bang-up-to-date digital dash, and enough storage to carry at least two decent bags of groceries under the seat.

The YS comes with 18 inch wheels for great stability and agility, and a 14l fuel tank means you'll be able to get plenty of miles in before a fuel stop! The Suzuki GSX-R is a sporty little number, with fantastic power-to-weight ratio and acceleration, plus nimble handling and great fuel economy. The little brother of the mighty GSX-R certainly won't disappoint for anyone looking to get in to the world of sports bike riding.
We also found that out of all the cc motorcycles, the Suzuki GSX-R was one of the best for shorter riders. A fairly narrow seat and a height of mm means it's easy to get your feet flat on the ground - perfect for those who are still building confidence! The Honda Grom as it's known in the states , is a bit of an icon.

But the real show-stopper is the GP replica version. The name might be a bit of a mouthful, but Kymco makes good quality bikes in Korea, at decent prices. It has combined brakes rather than a proper ABS system, so the front and rear brakes are linked, for improved, safer stopping, without adding the expense of an ABS unit. Add in the benefits of a big-brand manufacturer, and the VSR is definitely worth a look.
Another cc bike which apes the styling of its superbike sibling — but the KTM RC has actually outlived its 1,cc big brother. Powering this slick chassis is a modern four-valve DOHC water-cooled engine, putting out the maximum 15bhp allowed for learners, with a torquey delivery. The front forks have 43mm stanchions for example — the same size as those used on full-bore superbikes like the RC8R. Similarly, the large braced swingarm, full fairing and wide split-spoke wheels all add to the mass.

If your aim is to eventually ride the superbike of your dreams, then a sportier offering like Yamaha's YZF-R with its full-size R6 chassis is a great introduction to that style of motorcycle. I've tried to include a wide range of styles and models in no particular order - any of these offerings are hard to fault so, it comes down to your preference and your circumstances.
The first thing that instantly leaps out about the Duke is its styling. As with a lot of modern cc motorcycles, the manufacturers are moving them closer and closer to their larger counterparts in build quality and looks. This bike could easily be mistaken for a larger machine at a glance and a very attractive one at that. The aggressive street bike design, and its slightly forward-leaning ride position, gives it an almost supermoto feel.
It now meets EURO5 approval and also comes in a brand new dark metallic paint scheme that looks better than ever! The Duke is nippy, responsive, and able to easily manoeuvre in busy traffic which makes it a great all-rounder. It comes with a 15hp 4-stroke single-cylinder engine with fuel injection system and responsive 6-speed transmission.
The smallest of Yamaha's R series has become hugely popular since its arrival. More than a decade later the current iteration is still a best seller and as head-turning as ever.

For starters, a brand new EURO5 compliant engine, utilising Variable Valve Actuation VVA for smoother and more consistent acceleration through the rev ranges, makes this more responsive than ever.
Limited to 15bhp the maximum allowed for a CBT holder the YZF-R offers class-leading performance and features like an assist and slipper clutch, upside-down front forks, and an aluminum swingarm, as well as ABS and LCD instrument panel, all add to the feeling of big-bike quality.
As you may expect from a motorbike of this quality, it won't come cheap. The Honda CBF has been a huge seller in the cc market for years now and has just been given a brand-new update for to make it even more competitive! The CBF is not the flashiest motorcycle on the list but still has some nice street bike styling and this latest version has been given the full-size treatment to make it feel more like a big bike.
Despite this, Honda have actually managed to reduce the weight by 11kg compared to the previous model, so you can expect even better performance than before. Where the CBF has always excelled is as an economical commuter and the edition has only strengthened this further. On top of the weight reduction, the bike is now powered by a brand-new single-cylinder, 2-valve eSP engine enhanced Smart Power which, according to Honda, retains all of its famous reliability while delivering enhanced acceleration and fuel efficiency.
