It's difficult for many new riders in India to switch from a scooter, or to choose a geared motorcycle as their first bike. In most discussions around the first bike one should buy to learn the manual transmission motorcycle riding ropes, the Bajaj CT 110X often comes up. It is a low cost, simple design, and manageable power output makes it attractive to beginners. But there are different opinions about whether it’s the perfect learning platform. There are those who argue that its basic nature makes it a perfect bike to master the fundamentals of riding, while other people argue that slightly more powerful or feature rich bikes are better for building long term riding skills. The topic of the debate often revolves around how forgiving the bike is, how it can help you get through the mistakes that a new rider makes, and how well it prepares you for more powerful machines in the future.
