Answer 1

Are you in the UK?

Start with a  CB125, or something simialr, need to build up your confidence on a bike first.

I speak from experience I'm learning but bought a shadow 125, not a good idea, too heavy, too long.

Been learning on a CB much better.

Answer 2

One that your comfortable on. Make sure your feet can touch the ground on both sides. Make sure its not too heavy for you to handle, go for a low narrow seat. Make sure you can reach the handle bars easily & comfortably (how will you feel after riding for an hour).

It's difficult to suggest a make & model for someone else as it may not be to your liking. Also you need to think carefully about the power that the bike has.

Go along to a shop that has a good range of bikes, spend the whole day there if you need to and get a good feel. Any good place will be willing to help you as much as they can. Don't buy on impulse and if possible take someone with you who knows a thing or two.

Good luck & best wishes   - x*x -

Answer 3

dirt bike or street bike? how tall are you?

Answer 4

You sound just like me!... I got a kawasaki ninja 250... they're very tame and close to the ground which is good for me because I'm 5'4".  It's the only sporty looking bike I found that didn't have a huge motor.  I'd never be able to handle anything more than. 250cc.  Oh yeah, and they're one of the lightest bikes out there too.  It's very compact and has a decent price tag on it.  Perfect for beginning riders (and girls too) :-)

I put the link to the kawasaki site down there and it has a nice picture of the bike along with some good info.

Good luck with whatever you choose :)
