Hi Shany, and welcome to the forum!
What kinds of bikes do you have there? Are there many decent curvy roads to ride?

Well, Israel ins't that very big country, most of the bikers here ride on scooters and 33hp (also because of the new law) and few on 600+ or custms. We pretty much have all the standard european/asian/japanese bikes here, from vespa to hayabusa and so on. what doesn't make sense though (and the reason there isn't much bikers here) is the pricing on the bikes and biker. Just for example, a Ninja 250R 2008 costs here approximately $13,000 and I'm not kidding! So just figure how much a 600 costs ($35,000), or 1300 costs ($50,000)... It's kinda insane. That's why it is: 1. Not easy to own one here (work you ass off just to buy one). 2. Not fun to ride one (well ofcourse its fun, but this country is too small and there aren't any big roads here). 3. Hard to maintain one (buying is the easy step, maintainance is a $ drainer here). 4. Insurance costs x3 than a car here. 5. Roads are not wide and there are a lot of traffic jams (hench why most ride on scooters and low-end bikes). There for, I rather buy my bike in europe, train in europe (Thank god I got family in europe) and travel in europe and keep my car here. Cobie Fair, Since israel is mostly a terrain based country (Dunes /sands and desert) it is a good place for dirt bike riding, but as for Sport, it isn't.
