  1. For someone your size, the most important thing to consider is seat height.  You have to be able to balance the bike while stopped in traffic.  Best if you can sit and put both feet flat on the ground.  With a seat too high, you will only be able to put one foot on the ground.  You may be forced to lean the bike to the side and can easily lose your balance and drop the bike. This could also be a problem when you take your motorcycle license road test.

    Honda Shadow VLX.  It has the lowest seat height that I have seen, 25.6".  This is a small cruiser.  This is a 538 CC liquid cooled V-twin.  It should have plenty of power for you.  I would go to a dealer and sit on one first and see how well you can put both feet on the ground while stopped.  They sell new for $5500.  You may be able to find a good used one if this is too much.

    The Buell Blast is something a little different.  With its optional low profile seat it has a seat height of 25.5".  These sell new for about $4800.  The optional low seat is an additional $111 for a total of $4911.  This bike has a 492CC single cylinder engine.  It also has a belt drive for less maintenance.  This is considered a sport bike.

    If you want something with a smaller engine, the Honda Rebel has a 234CC parallel twin engine.  It has a 26.6" heat height.  They go new for about $3200.  They have been around a while so you might be able to find a good used one.  This is also considered a small cruiser.

    The Yamaha Star V-Star 250 might be acceptable with a seat height of 27"  This is a cruiser style V-twin.  But this may be pushing the limit for someone with short legs. These sell new for about $3700.

    The Suzuki GZ 250 is considered a standard bike. This bike has a 27.8" seat height. It has a 250 CC single cylinder engine.  This bike may also be pushing the limits for someone with short legs. These sell for about $3250.

    The Honda Night Hawk has the same 234CC parallel twin engine as the Honda Rebel, but has a higher seat at 29.3".  This may be too high.

    Some people might say the Kawasaki Ninja 250R. However this bike has a seat height of 30.5".  This would be a poor choice for someone with short legs.

    Get yourself enrolled in a motorcycle safety course.


  2. The wait is currently 15 minutes.  Take a ticket.  Read a dictionary while you are waiting.

  3. Gud like a Harely?  A 1982 Suzuki Intruder.

  4. What wait?

    I walked in and said "How much?"

    2 hours later I called and said "I'll be there at Noon tomorrow to pick it up."
