What is a good starter bike?

Question

I'm a girl, 5"0' and my weight fluncuates from 90-95lbs. I've been told the ninja is a good starter bike but I kind of want something like a suzuki gsxr.

Answer 1

Kawi 250 the 08 is sweet for beginners and the look is hot as a Literbike.

Answer 2

I'd recommend a Mini Dirt Bike or a Pit Bike.

Answer 3

I just got my first bike. a 600cc ninja. and it's a good bike for me. id'e go with a smaller ninja at your size though.

Answer 4

being 5'0 you will need to have pretty much any bike lowered to suit your stature...

a ninja 250 would be a fine learner, but so would a used 600 jixer, cbr, yzf, etc...

keep the revvs low, and take your time learning, speed will come with confidence and experience...

Hi; Here r some answers to your question..  Sit on many bikes at dealers r friends..buy a used bike first..a bike that is light weight n handles good..U need to learn before U fly.. Check out the site below...a light-weight cruiser of low horspower, maybe 35 to 50 hp..make sure U have crash bars on frame added...don't rush to buy the first bike U see..ninja is ok if U can sit on it comfortable and no tip toes on the ground, ( full flat feet)..hehe..Have fun n be careful of 4-wheelers...O - yea>>> WEAR A HELMET!!..

Answer 6

I normally disagree when people tell someone to get a 250 to start out on however in  your case b/c your short and petite I would agree with that. I'm 5'8 and was looking at sport bikes and found most to be too tall for me so I wound up getting a cruiser, you may run into the same problem unless you do some modifications to the bike. You may want to start out on a cruiser, they tend to be lower to the ground.

Not to disuade you from a GSXR but maybe not for your first bike. I do know a girl about your exact same size and weight who rides a big GSXR so it is possible, I think she did some modifications to it so it fit her better. Good luck.
