Is the Bajaj CT 110X a good first bike for new riders to learn to ride geared motorcycles?

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.

Absolutely! My first bike was the CT 110X, it's just perfect for learning. Easy to handle, light clutch, forgiving if you make mistakes.

Not bad but I’d say get something with a little more power like the Pulsar 125. Once you get used to it, though, it might feel underpowered.

Great first bike. It’s simple, which means you concentrate on learning the basics without being distracted by the bells and whistles.

I started on a CT 110X, then I went to a bigger bike. It was smooth because I had already conquered the basics.

A good starter, but missing features like a tachometer mean you may not learn the proper gear shifting techniques.

Perfect for beginners. Lightweight, cheap to maintain, and low seat height. Learning is no longer a worry of damaging an expensive bike.

I’d say it’s perfect for absolute beginners, but if you already have some experience then you may want to start with something a little more powerful.
