Hi all!
If you’re going to be doing mostly in town rides, Connie’s large size and relatively high weight become bigger concerns, especially for a first bike.
I think a DL650, SV650, or a Ninja 650 would be better in that case

I am a beginner and we just spent the entire weekend shopping for bikes, I have my heart set on a street bike so no cruisers etc. I have narrowed my search down to two bikes. I am only 5'1" and 120lbs so I am a small woman. I am looking towards a Ninja 650 or a Ninja 300. I am interested in the 300 for learning purposes and the fact that I know it CAN be lowered if we decide... but the 650 is more appealing for the long run because i'm fairly sure if I get the 650 I will stick with that for a long time. Opinions? Ideas? Thoughts?

I have personally thought of building a bike. If your bike is comfy then getting a framesize isn't a problem. Reach, stack and head angle, will give you decide application/use. Then just choose frame material

I'm 5'2" and 100 lbs. I ride the Suzuki S83. Good power and comfortable. Easy to handle

gsxrjen Your bike sounds perfect for you. Good choice.

Information on this post really helpful to me for choosing my new bike. Thanks!

It amazes me to see women nowadays driving a motorcycle. Which one did you end up getting?
