Where can I find Lady driver in New Delhi?
I have owned Honda's and am into Kawasaki's now. For my wife its nothing but Yamaha. Your best bet is to check out the various Cycle mags. They do side by side shoot outs between the new models every year....and that will give you a place to start. Next you need to go to the various dealerships in your area and sit on each bike....pull them up off of the kickstand and see how they feel. Are your feet flat on the floor? Do you have to lean forward to reach the bars? When you find a bike that fits you ....you will know it.There was a time (when I was your age) that a 600cc bike was considered a HOSS. Now its considered to be a light weight cruiser. My wife is 5'-2" tall 115 to 120 pounds and she rides a Yamaha 1100 V-Star (and yes she can and has picked it up).
I cannot suggest this strongly enough.......Take the Motor Cycle Safety Foundation Course!... The vast majority of motorcycle accidents happen to new riders.....(riders with less that 10,000 miles under their belts) This course will give you a BIG leg up on your fellow newbies and in most states completion of this course will earn you discounts on your insurance....etc.

First of all....the Japanese bikes are all about the same in fit, finish, and quality. Honda guys will tell you to buy Honda....Yamaha guys will tell you buy their brand...etc. What type of bike you looking for? Cruiser or crotch rocket? My preference is for Suzuki cruisers and based upon your size and weight I'd suggest the Suzuki S50 myself. Nice peppy little cruiser that is a blast to ride. Light enough to be easy to handle at slow speeds and handles well enough to be driven briskly in the twisties. Not a crotch rocket but then I wouldn't have one myself. To each their own. MY advice is go to s bike store that carries all four metric bikes and see what fits you and tickles YOUR fancy. If you want a H-D then buy an 883 Sportster although I know Harley guys that wouldn't be caught dead on an 883 Sportster. The call it the "bottom feeder's Harley"!motorbike wont start. crank but no ignition.?
Its all preference and how they are ridden. I have friends who break every bike they ride while I haven't had a bike go bad on me yet. I would take them for a ride or at least spend some time sitting on them at the dealer to see which one feels the most comfortable. If you are just starting out you may want to pick a model that is more stable such as the CBR600rr its know for its smooth ride and predictable handling characteristics.Yamaha and Honda would be considered better quality. Depends also if you are looking at a cruiser style or a crotch rocket.
I have a cruiser - Yamaha V-Star. Well, still have the old 78 Honda as well. I did have a Suzuki Intruder. Nice bike, but I notice the difference in quality.
