i'm 5'8 145 pounds

Answer 1

yes it is.

Answer 2

Make sure you can keep the balls of your feet on the ground when on it. A couple of questions, how old are you? If its your first bike (no previous experience), most people recommend a ninja 250, but I mostly tell people, if you trust yourself enough and if you are responsible enough that you should go ahead and get something 500'ish. You will outgrow a 250 pretty fast unless you are young. If you are 18+ I'd recommend the 500. Anything under i'd get a 250, especially since they are a lot cheaper, and if you drop it, which you will, it wont be as painful on the wallet.

Answer 3

Answer 5

I wouldn't say it's a good beginner.i'll say somthing in the 400-450 sport bikes are good for beginners.a 500 has alot of power.

Answer 6

It depends if your strong enough. Here, look at this one. http://www.1000hp.net/magazin/ktm/ktm_du...

Answer 7

It's ugly as a wart on a monkeys tail but it will serve as an excellent learning bike. enough power and weight to handle moderate highway use but not too powerful to worry about flying off the planet.

You'll have a lot off fun and get great gas mileage. good choice!
