A 500cc bike,good balance between weight and power.You will out grow a 250 in a month and you will have to shift tons on the highway to keep up with traffic.A 500cc bike is enough to get going but is reasonable in its speed and weight.

Rubber mounted engines on motorcycles?

Personally as a female motorcycle rider i say take your time making your choice and get what you want no matter what others opinions are. You will get as many negative or positive comments on each type as long as you ask peoples opinions. I took about 4 months of going to dealerships to find my bike. Don't go by price if you see something better then save a little longer.

Which Royal Enfield Diesel Motorbike really gets 87 mpg?

Her's what I advise new riders to do. Take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation endorsed riders safety course. Let them show you the right way to ride a bike from the get go. There are vocational schools that offer the course and private schools too ,just make sure they have the MSF endorsement. They provide the bikes,helmets,and you provide the clothing,leather jacket or thick cloth ,gloves,boots that are above the ankle and long pants. After taking the course (must have a learners permit which is a written exam at your local DMV ) you can figure out what bike might best suit your skills. The best part is if ya drop the bike its their chrome or paint that gets scraped. I took the course back in Oct and I have been ridin' for 37 yrs and they taught this ol' dog some new safer better ways to avoid or get out of sticky situations. The best part is you get a waiver on the state riding exam to get your license cause the state flunks you if ya put down one foot or don't follow the course directions

When i turn my shocks upside down,oil come out from the valve,it's a harley air shocks w/ part # 54565-97c

It is a great bike. Just make sure it was not abused. The bike is fast for it's displacement, and will be nice and light, which helps keep you from making beginners mistakes, or at least correct them before dumping the bike.
If you are thinking more long term, you might consider the Buell Blast, as it is much more powerful, and also pretty affordable. Be careful, as this is a pretty powerful small 500 cc bike. But it is a great first bike as well, with more oomph.
Being American, I do like Ooomph, don't you?

2006 Honda Shadow 750 gasoline?

This is a good bike to learn on, however if your like most people you'll get bored with it too quick to make the investment worth it. I'd go with something like the Suzuki GS500 for starting, its bigger, but still small enough for a first time rider. If you take a rider safety couse before you go out riding that will help too. Most of these classes only cost about $150 for a two day course and most of them provide the bike.

Yamaha xj600n 1998 oil problem?

I personally don't recommend anything under 600cc. You need a bike that not only is easy to learn on, but gives you room to excel before needing an upgrade. I suggest going out and getting a feel of a few 600s'. Sports bikes tend to be lighter and easier to handle in comparison to cruisers.
