best road bike helmets under 100 image

I'm very curious. You see mopeds everywhere and I'm considering getting one. But not really sure about the laws concerning it. What are the cc's required to the highway? Is there a speed that a vechile must reach to get onto highways/interstates? Mine can go up to 70-90 mph
Answer
If you bike can go 70-90 MPH, then it's not a legal moped.
Florida State legislators define a moped as a vehicle fitting all of the following criteria:
Pedals that allow you to propel the vehicle
A seat for the rider
Three or fewer wheels
Motor of two-brake horsepower or less
Maximum speed of 30 mph on level ground
Automatic power-drive system
Displacement of 50 cc or less (for those with an internal combustion engine)
Mopeds need to be registered at a county tax collector office. The registration fee is $19.10, and you must renew your registration every year. Thankfully, you don't have to pay the $100 initial registration fee.
You'll receive a motorcycle plate for your moped. If you're under 21 and the registration is in your name, your plate will have a distinctive design and color.
Moped drivers need to have at least a Class E driver's license, and be 16 or older to drive a moped on a public road. A motorcycle endorsement isn't required.
You will not be allowed to ride your moped on bike or foot paths. All passengers under 16 must wear a helmet.
Moped drivers aren't required to carry Personal Injury Protection insurance.
Be aware that moped drivers have the same rights and responsibilities as other motorists. And, yes, moped drivers can receive traffic tickets, too.

hey im about to buy my first sport bike and have some questions.?
kyle l
i have never rode one before so i need to learn first of course. what is the best way for me to prepare myself to ride a fast street bike? im looking to get a 600cc bike for my first one such as a r6 or cbr600. any advice will be apreciated. thnx.
Answer
I do agree with what others have said - starting out on a newer 600 isn't the best of ideas. Everybody recommends starting out on a 250 or a 500, and I agree. Are you going to listen to us? Probably not. But instead of trying to scare you away and not offering any actual advice, this is what you need to know the most - SELF CONTROL.
People tend to generalize the 500cc and smaller machines as these safe little bikes that you aren't going to have any problems with. Let's face facts. While a 600 can get you into trouble quicker, i.e. obtain faster speeds, truth is if you don't have respect for the throttle and don't ride within your abilities, you're going to kill yourself just as easily on a 250 compared to a 600.
First and foremost take a MSF course. Even if you teach yourself to ride, take it anyway. You will learn a lot no matter what and improve your riding skills.
Secondly, don't buy new. There is a very likely chance you will drop your bike during the first year of riding. Get something that is reliable, but if it doesn't look 100% perfect suck up your ego and get over it. You go and drop a brand new R6 you'll be crying like a girl. Bikes retain their value well, so if you trade up the following year you won't be out much money. Even if you are, it will be well worth it for that year of riding you did. You can find used CBRs, FZRs, Gixxers and Ninjas for a good price. The biggest factor should be the comfort of the bike. If the controls aren't in places you can easily get to, then it's not the bike for you.
If you don't have a friend that can help teach you, then this is about all the advice I can offer (going by the way MSF will teach you). Start off walking the bike by standing beside it (on the left hand side). Get used to the weight and being able to keep the bike upright. Sit on the bike with the stand down and play with the controls. Get used to where everything is at. Next, start out going in a straight line only in first gear. Don't even try to start shifting yet. Go back and forth on an empty street or parking lot several times until you feel ok with the throttle. 1st gear can be a little herky-jerky. If you're feeling ok, then try getting it up into 2nd gear. Focus on shifting smoothly. Repeat and repeat until you are good at. Then try going up to the 3rd.
Before you try and make your way up to beyond 3rd gear, start focusing on emergency braking. Get some speed up (like 20 mph) then pick a spot where you want to try and stop. Brake smoothly and under control. It's easy to lock the rear tire up if you mash the pedal down and that's a big no-no. Practice and practice and practice this. Don't grab a ton of brake on the first try. Just keep doing it until you get better. Then you can try doing some basic swerves, but don't EVER swerve and brake at the same time.
I taught myself on my FZR, so it's not impossible. Looking back, yeah, I should have started out on a 500 or smaller but it was all I could afford at the time. The biggest thing to keeping you safe is self control. If you don't have any, then you shouldn't be on the road anyway to be honest. Invest in some gear as well - helmet, gloves, jacket, etc. Check out newenough.com for some good deals.
Good luck.
