What is the weight of a 250 and a 500 kawasaki what model should i start with im beginer?

It kills me when i hear people tell someone to get something small. I am so fortunate that my husband made me get what I liked and wanted to start with. Go try out ALL the bikes after taking a motorcycle course. I did go to harley three times at first, was not happy with the service, attitude or prices. the sportster just seemed too top heavy to me. I got the yamaha 1100 because it handles the curves so well and is one of the most popular bikes out there, the V-star. I also have found that many after market products are made for this bike. check out pacific coast star and barons. they both have excellent modification kits for this bike that you dont have to mortgage the house to get. I also have enough power to take a cross country trip and keep up with the boys. I am an old lady and only started riding three years ago. Im 5'2" 130 lbs. Dont let the size intimidate you. Everyone told me to get a harley, well, i have nothing against them, however, I am not into name brands, I got what I felt most comfortable on, and saved big bucks too. Have won several trophies too with my modifications. check out the sites i requested, you mite like them.
