Starting your motorcycling journey with a reliable brand like CFMOTO is a smart move. Whether you’re riding the CFMOTO 300NK through city streets or exploring trails on the CFMOTO 800MT, safety should always come first. At BikeworldSA, we want every new rider to enjoy the road with confidence, especially when riding our range of new and used motorcycles in Johannesburg.
Start With the Right Bike
Choosing the right motorcycle model matters. Don’t jump straight onto a bike that’s too powerful or heavy. Start small, then grow your skills. The CFMOTO 300NK is a great entry-level naked bike. It’s light, responsive, and designed for urban commutes. If you’re looking for something more adventurous, the CFMOTO 450MT balances power and control for dual-purpose riding.
Gear Up Properly – Every Time
Motorcycle riding gear isn’t optional. A quality helmet, gloves, jacket, boots, and protective pants are non-negotiable. Choose gear that fits well and offers impact protection. Even if you’re just hopping on your CFMOTO for a quick ride, never compromise on your safety gear. Bright colours and reflective materials also help other road users spot you easily.
Learn the Basics – Then Keep Learning
Take a beginner riding course before hitting the open road. In Johannesburg, several schools offer practical, hands-on training. Once you’ve mastered the basics, keep refining your skills. Try practicing on your CFMOTO in controlled environments. Learn emergency braking, tight cornering, and how to react to unpredictable drivers.
Stay Visible and Predictable
Many accidents happen because riders go unnoticed. Always ride with your lights on. Avoid riding in blind spots and always signal clearly before making any move. On your CFMOTO, stay in lanes where you are most visible. When off-roading with your bike, wear high-vis gear and let others know your route.
Ride Defensively, Not Aggressively
Assume other road users don’t see you. Keep a safe following distance and watch for signs of sudden lane changes. Never ride distracted. Always scan intersections, road surfaces, and surrounding vehicles. Defensive riding keeps you alert and prepared for any surprises.
Regular Maintenance Matters
A well-maintained bike is a safe bike. Before every ride, check your tires, brakes, chain, and lights. At BikeworldSA, we offer expert servicing for all CFMOTO models.
