  1. The Beginner’s Handbook to Riding Bikes What’s the difference between a man, and Superman? The latter is everything a man is with special powers like the ability to zip around, and be formidable. You could use similar phrases and adjectives to describe a superbike. Also, when it comes to Superman, he has more responsibilities than the regular man (as the fate of humanity lies in his hands from time to time). Same goes for a superbike, they are fast, powerful, and most of all, absolute fun. An exquisite machine designed to perfection, a must-have for the thrill seeking riders out there. But with great power, comes great responsibility. Superbikes are a whole new ball game when it comes to riding them well and ensuring you are safe at every turn, figuratively and literally. Just like with anything else, practice makes perfect. So rev up that engine and listen to it roar! Also, a few superbike riding tips wouldn’t hurt as you graduate from being a beginner to a pro superbike rider. One step at a time: Work your way up slowly. Before you even think about mounting a superbike, ensure that you’ve tested your skills on a bike with a smaller engine. Talk to people who own a superbike and ask any questions that come to mind. Better safe than sorry the saying goes. Go as far as watching videos of superbike races, just to understand the dynamics of the beastly machines. You’ll be thankful when you do finally get around to riding the mean machine for the first time.

  2. Buy good gear: Do not, under any circumstances, consider a compromise with your gear. It’s what comes between you and the asphalt. At the very least, make sure you are wearing a good set of leather boots and a helmet with eye protection. Ride smoothly: We all love the thrill of speeding up suddenly and jerking to a halt, but honestly it isn’t the best technique to ensure a safe and smooth ride. Given the sheer power and intentional ‘flickabilty’ of superbikes, you have to handle it with much more care than four-wheeled vehicles. Learning to ride smoothly is an important bike tip. Feed the throttle and gently push the brakes when shifting gears, allowing your weight to shift predictably. Also keep your grip on the handlebars low and flexible so you can learn what the front tyre is doing and how your bike naturally moves. Consider aerodynamics: Superbikes are specifically designed so that the rider is basically leaning over them, to increase aerodynamics. Keep your body and head low, ensuring you can use the side view mirrors with ease as well.

  3. Use good fuel: Just like a professional athlete controls their diet for optimal performance, a superbike needs the best fuel. Change your engine oil regularly, or at intervals recommended by the manufacturer. This will extend the life of your clutch and engine. Do regular checkups: Your bike should always be in prime condition owing to the extreme speeds and other physical feats it accomplishes. A small fault can either cost you a bomb for repair, or end in disaster. Know your limits: Always know your limits. It’s almost guaranteed that your machine can outperform you. So enjoy the ride, but don’t push too much past your comfort zone. Quite ironically, slow and steady does win the race.
