What size motorcycle should i buy for first time rider,Female?
If you look around you should be able to find a used Honda XR 100 for cheap. Honda made a bunch of these biikes. They're solid, reliable machines that will do everything your sister will need to do and not have so much power that she'll get shot into a tree her first time out. Tons of parts on the aftermarket too so if it needs something you won't have to spend an arm and a leg for repairs.Will only run with starter engaged?
And the best part is if she takes good care of the bike she'll be able to sell it to some other new rider for as much money as she paid for it!
Tell her to go take a riding class. Ask around at your local bike shops and you might be able to find someone teaching a dirt bike class for new riders.
Leaves the warehouse next business day?
125s are pipey, but considering her size, that's what I'd get for her. As the brand, let's be frank. They're all good. Try to get a used one from a guy who races regularly - about a two year old model. It's the best deal going.What is the proper air pressure in the air suspension of a 2001 Road King?
Your sister is a smaller girl, and very petite by the sound of it. But that's ok, someday she might outride all of you. let's get her started.What type of motorcycle is suited for me?
I think for her size, weight, and lack of experience riding a bike, we need something that she can fit on, has plenty of power, but not too much power, plenty of good suspension, but is lightweight so she can handle the bike well.

The manufacturer is a personal preference, but here are a few bikes I'd recommend for her. All are great motocross bikes.

All of these bikes have great suspensions, good power, lightweight, easy maintenance, and you can race any one of these bikes in competition if need be. They're all great bikes, it's a matter of choice for your sister.
Best wishes!
Starting a cold Honda TRX 400EX in 20 degree weather?
no 2 strokes that for sure ...start her on a 100 and put throttle stop on it and as she learns lean out the throttle stop so she can slowly gets used to the power.I'd agree with MUM that 2 strokes aren't for beginners. At 5'2" she's tall enuff for good size dirtster. The ol Honda XR 100(now called CRF),Yamaha's TTR 125, Yamee has sold alot of these.Look for a deal on a late model 1 owner in yer local papers.Have a buddy with some dirtster knowledge do all the 'checking it over' & dickerin on the price.Some folks buy a new bike & then find out they don't like the sport.Good Luck
Why is it that the raod cracks right after it is paved?
I agree with mum and RP a 2 stroke is just to much for someone that has never road before. I have been riding for 8 years and sometimes my KTM 125 still surprises me with its power. so a 4 stroke form 100-200 would be a good start.(doesn't matter on the brand). they are all good and reliable.hope this helps you can email me if you have any more questions.

CAN or SHOULD I ride a motorcycle?
get the 2 stroke!!once u learn on something like that u can ride em all!!!!Would it hurt to run a XL883 Harley Davidson Hugger 80 MPH on a long ride?
I have sold bikes for over 20 years. A great bike is a Honda CRF100F. It is a great size to learn on and she needs to beable to handle the bike in off road conditions.This bike has been around forever and will be easy to sell when and if she wants to up grade. Be sure she gets all the protective equipment so she will have a safe and fun time...More Questions & Answers ...
