Answer 1

Thankfully, there's no such thing as a girl's bike. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a girl's bike.

Don't think of yourself as a girl, think of yourself as short - if you are. And not overly muscled.

Get a bike on which you can reach the ground firmly. If you're very short, you can get most bikes lowered enough, and you can also do things to the seat and your boots which will help you reach the ground. And on which you are comfortable in reaching the bars. And light enough that you can back it up without help. Don't worry about being strong enough to lift it - there are techniques you can use. There are also guys you can use in most situations, unless you ride in Nowheresville.

That's about all I can tell you without knowing more about what you want from a bike. That will point you in a particular direction.

If you're interested in riding but don't have experience, sign up for a course. They supply the bike, you supply gloves, boots, helmet and jacket. And you learn - how to ride and whether you want to do this.

Answer 2

There's plenty of lightweight and easy to handle bikes. Most any 250 will be pretty light and easy to ride, and some beginners can handle somewhat larger machines.

My advice is to take a training class such as the ones offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They'll probably put you on a 250 cc bike or maybe a 125 cc one. See how you like riding the smaller bike. You may leave feeling like a 250 is all you are ready to handle. Nothing wrong with that; all the major Japanese manufacturers have good 250's. Or you may want a bit more; if so, you may want to look at cruisers up to 650 cc or sport / standard bikes up to 500 cc.

In any case, you will want a bike that's small enough you can get both feet flat on the ground, light enough you can pick it up if it falls over, but big enough you don't feel like your legs are all scrunched up. And you'll want something with power that you feel comfortable controlling. Don't get a bike that scares you.

Answer 3

The correct answer is: Whatever you like!!!
If you are a beginner, go to a few dealerships, ask for assistance, sit on a few different styles and sizes, and ask the salesmen for recommendations.
I recommend getting a used bike first (take an experienced rider along when buying) That way you can practice, and experience the bike for less money. Also, when you drop it (and you will) it wont be so heartbreaking. If you start with something on the small side, motor wise, by the time you are ready to upgrade you will have a better idea of what you really want.

Its always best to start out smaller. You can always move up. I would suggest checking with the DMV in your area and seeing if they have motorcycle classes. In CA we do. I highly recommend it since most people don't see motorcycles (just not thinking about anything except that they're late for work or ...). Push left to go left, push right to go right. The engine moves the bike not the stearing wheel... You will also get to ride on a smaller bike like a 250 to see how it handles. From that, you can take what you like and get an idea of how low you like to ride (or how high) and where you like the handlebars (cafe style or chopper style, etc). Depending upon your height and reach, your comfort level should be good. As a general rule, you have more control if you have your feet on the footpegs below you holding you up with your knees into the tank... Be careful! Rubber side down! And have fun!

Answer 5

I am partial to Brit bikes, I own a couple of older Triumphs and chops, but the new Triumphs are faithful to the history of the brand. So try any of the Triumph modern classics like the Scrambler, a light, agile yet powerful machine. These are the coolest bikes around for younger and older riders alike. The old Harleys were fine (I have a 77 myself) but the new ones are too fat and big and flashy, overstated and for the older crowd, except perhaps the Sportster which keeps its legendary good looks!

Answer 6

My wife digs the sportbikes that don't have bodywork. In street lingo they're "naked" bikes. Bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja 500, Suzuki SV650 & Bandit 600, Yamaha FZ650, Ducati 695, Triumph Speed Four, etc.

Other bikes you might check into = Kawasaki Ninja 250 & Ninja 650, Yamaha YZF600, Honda CBR600 F4i, Kawasaki ZZR600, Suzuki GS4500/500/550 & GS500 for starters.

Answer 7

Whatever it is it should not be to powerful for your first bike, low to the ground so your feet are not on tippy toes, and not too heavy. If you can find something in the 300 lb range and 350cc - 400cc, you'll be able to learn and then as you progress, you wont be disappointed by the power range. After you have a few thousand miles behind you, then you may (or may not) want to upgrade to a larger bike. If you're buying new, go to a Honda shop and sit on some. They are well engineered bikes.
