Where can i get my first sports bike that is $1,000 to 1,500 dollor?
Hi Girly Biker. If you have passed your test try a Honda CB500. That was my first big bike. Lovely to handle, dead reliable. Incidently I'm 5' 4" and 91/2 stone no problems with bike weight. If not, a Honda CG125. Happy biking Cheeky Monkey Biker BabeYamaha sr250. Great balance. low seating position. Easy to maintain. Smooth power delivery. Powerful enough that it will not get you in trouble but enough to get you out of it. Very first bike? Buy a small off roader and get used to the gears etc. You will fall off so do it on something cheap and learn on grass with someone who knows what they are doing.
What motorcycle is better?Honda CBR 600 RR or Yamaha R6?
What colour?What is a good motorcycle to get, without it being too big?

Although I do not like them myself, you may find that a custom style bike would be a good choice. The centre of gravity and the height is usually lower than most other bikes. Until you become fully skilled, this will be to your advantage during turning, moving and handling the m/c. It takes time to get used to the weight, even for men with their extra strength. Models with wider handlebars will give you extra leverage for manoeuvring it. Enjoy and GO GIRL.Where online can i look at motorcycles for sale?
Try a Harley 883 sportster or a 650 honda shadow, they are not baby bikes like a 250, and my girlfriend is 130 lbs soaking wet and she can handle the 883 fine, she really looks good on it, especially when she wet!Have you ever ridden Deal's Gap, NC i.e. The Dragon's Tail?
Hi - not sure if you're already licensed to ride the motorbike. If you're still learning/about to learn/just passed, I'd say a Honda 125cc which is what I learned on. Unfortunately I never kept the riding up and started driving cars instead.My bike wont start, its completely dead?
Anyway, a few suggestions:
- go to a few motorbike dealers and ask for advice. Many have female riders working in them. Many allow you to test drive the bike. See as many as you can and listen, noting down the features you think you'd like and those you don't want. With each visit, you'll be building your knowledge up so it may be easier to talk to and sort out the bull **** from subsequent dealers.
- have a look at online review sites for bikes (I only had a brief chance to find the one below but you get the idea...
http://www.reviewcentre.com/products2279...
- talk to as many riders as you can, especially female ones.
- try out as many as you can
- once you've decided, go online again and look for the best price for the actual bike you want.
Good luck with it...

Are you actually in Britain 'Welsh Dragon'? Because bike culture in the UK is very different to the American culture implied by these answers. Don't get a cruiser because they are long and handle like a river barge. You need something light-ish, maneuverable with a flexible engine- ie, one that makes power evenly through the rev range and doesn't care what gear it's in. And reliable: that means Japanese.Is there a way to change a red sticker dirt bike into a green sticker?
Assuming you're in a country where there are no licence restrictions (er, that would be America):
Kawasaki GPX250s, Suzuki GS500, Kawasaki ER500, Suzuki Bandit 600, Yamaha XJ600 are all excellent.
make sure you look in lots of dealerships, sit on and, if possible, ride as many bikes as you can so you get a feel for what different ones are like: especially pay attention to engine configurations (ie, capacity and number of cylinders) because these really affect a bike's feel.

What are some good motorcycle routes, San Antonio?
i would try any 250cc bike if that's not enough try a 500 cc its alot heavier but has more powerWhat engine oil is the best for a kawasaki ZXR 750 H1?
Hi hun.A ladyfriend of mine started with a Yamaha 535 Virago. The centre of gravity is pretty low, & it's not too heavy to 'chuck' around. She's now progressed to a Yamaha Dragstar XVS650 custom, and again, it's a well-balanced machine. Good luck with your choice. :)
Dont get a dirt bike.get a motorcycle
Not to heavy, does that mean your not to tall? Im 5'5'', an thats where most of my info. will start..Motorbike..you in England?
Triumph has one that got my attention last week, a Speedster, 2003
Looked like it had a pretty low seat, an
was a good lookin, semi- custom look,
and.800cc. Id check that one out, if you are in england. Another one thats 8-900, and has one of the lowest
seat heights out of the factory is a
Kawasaki vulcan. I have Vulcan/classic 1500, an I stop at light and my feet are flat on the ground w/
knees bent, an I imagine the smaller ones have the same technology. Good footing balances out most weight problems, after that its tecnique, thats figured out in about 5
minutes. Id go hit these two dealers an check it out, its a start, anyways.
And dont get a dirt bike, inless you want to go jump dirt-piles....
Where can I find whitewalls for my 1974 Honda CB550?
You're probably going to want a mid-size engine (350-600cc, anything smaller and you aren't going to want to ride it more than a season) and more than likely a sportbike (lighter, lower to the ground, better brakes and handling).A good friend of mine just picked up an 86 Honda Interceptor 500 that she absolutely loves.
That being said, look around for locals near you who ride or find a local bike repair shop and ask them. Most of the people who run those shops love to ride and like getting people into the fun. Good luck and happy riding!
I have a 2005 kawasaki kx250 motocross bike that wont idle, does anyone know what i can do?
Whoo hoo! Another biker chick enters the fold! Welcome!!Which is the fastest bike currently available in india?
Choice of first bike is same as for a guy. depends on how long your legs/arms are and how much you weigh.
Some tips to be a good motorcyle racer??
Also, depends on if you want a cruiser style or a sportsbike. Either style is good for a newbie. Both have starter bikes.
Upper body strength has NOTHING to do with riding a bike. I've seen experienced 5 foot sexy ladies riding Road Kings better than inexperienced 6 foot musclebound trollheads who got a bike too big for them as a starter.
Should i get a motorcycle or scooter?
If you go with the cruiser style. pick a bike in the 500-900 cc range. Anything less and you'll outgrow it in a year. Anything more and you might be too afraid to ride. (see note about trollheads above)
Whats better for racing a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke engine?
Best cruiser bikes in this range are: Harley Sportster, Honda Shadow, Yamaha Virago, Kawasaki Vulcan
Sit on them and see which fits your body best. Minor adjustments to seat height and handlebar angle can be made to all of them.

Don't you have a friend who is a real biker who would be interested enough to help you find something nice which you could really enjoy. There are some really stupid suggestions here and one or two good ones, but we don't really know you or enough about you.Oh, and Jap bikes make good boat anchors.
An object which has six sides is called??
Go Girl it's great to see a girl grtting into bikes and the more more people riding the more the Gov will have to listen to us. Anyway enough of me on my soap box. Seeing as your in ol' Blighty my next question is have you got a full license?? If you have I would stick to something small and nimble. A nice CBR400 or VFR400 from Honda. The Suzuki SV650 or the Yamaha Fazer600 are all good for the first timer and are fairly low to the ground so if your a bit short in the leg department. Great bikesI hope you enjoy the bike and just remember

Repairing Honda 250 Recon rear axle shaft & have a question.?
well, i ride a 600 bandit and love it, its not to heavy and i can touch the ground, you must go to the bike shops and sit on different ones to find which one fits you, glad to see more girls on bikes, good luck on finding your 1st bike, ride safe xWhy would a piston crack in a suzuki ts100?
Hi there. As with other responses, I think it depends on your taste, height (to an extent), budget and whether it is an L plate bike or if you are doing Direct Access. I only know about bigger sports bikes and tourers. A friend started on a cheap Kawasaki GPZ 550 which she found easy to control and good for her height. My first bike was a Suzuki GSX600F which was great for consolidating my training. Honda Hornets, Suzuki SV 650 and Bandit are all a good bet for a starter, but basically the world is your oyster! Good luck and enjoy!I would suggest a Kawasaki Ninja EX250 or EX500. cheap, not too heavy, and if you can find a used one with some scratches on it, that would make a perfect beginner bike. However, since you're in the UK, you have a lot more variety of smaller bikes like CBR250's and CBR400's that we don't get in the states, so there may be other good choices available to you that I'm not aware of. I suggest getting one with at least some scratches because, you will probably drop it at some poing learning, so save the money and but a decent used one. Even if you don't plan or liek to think about dropping it, you should take it in the grass and lay it down and practice picking it up, just so you have piece of mind that you can pick it up, and you won't panic should you drop it in the street or where ever. Once you're mor confident you can sell it for just about what you paid for it, even if you put a few more scratches on it yourself, and then move up to something larger/better.
OK a fair and serious answer
Why dose oil come out breather on my harley davidson roadking?
First point to consider is the type/style you want. If you are going for a sports bike then there are endless to choose from and assuming you are talking with a full licence then perhaps GSX or GSXR Honda CBR maybe a 600 or even a sport tourer Bandit or the like
If you are looking at a cruiser style then I think that the Honda VT Shadow is quite low seat height if you have a shorter leg plenty on the market and price not too bad. Smaller Harley range 883 Sportster and as you said not too heavy I am assuming you might be of smaller build that a heavy bike could be too much
I am waiting for a new Harley to be delivered and was riding a Goldwing until some plum decided to rear end me and I have just bought a VT750 Shadow to keep me on the road and it is a light ride and easy to handle
What are the first steps i should take to learn how to ride a motorcyle?
Now the rest is up to you. Visit plenty of dealers and keep your money in your pocket til YOU find the right bike for you. All the sales staff will want you to buy so make them work for it, make them understand that your money will go to another dealer if they can't or won't get on your wavelength. Once you have got them to understand that you will get their respect and attention.
Is it true cause someone told me that at 16 you can olny get under 250cc sport bike in Illinois?

What to use for warning sticker removal on plastic of new bike?
Keep the riding safe and enjoy it.
How do I check to see if the regulator/ rectifier is in working condition?
Best first bike should be under 500cc, fairly modern (so everything doesn't fail at once), and cheap (so you don't feel bad when you fall). Best suggestion - Honda Rebel. They're small, light weight (only 250cc), and a late 90's-early 00's will cost under $1000. Best thing is that your feet can reach the ground if you're short.MY wife coleen wants to learn to ride?
Honda Rebel 250. If you're looking for more power than that, then, as the others have suggested, Yamaha Virago 535 or Kawasaki Vulcan 500. I'm assuming you're shorter than I am.I would say a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 they can be had new for about $5000 nice bike all the way around
What is more dependable...honda or yamaha atvs?
Get a ZX-14. It'll put hair on your chest.Kawasaki VN 500 Vulcan and Honda VT-600 Shadow VLX are both good motorcycles for women riders
They are both sit low, handle well and make decent power.
Whats a better bike to go with a GSXR 600 or a YXF-R6 or a kawaski Ninija ZX 6R?
If the VT-400 VLX is available in UK you might be interested in it, too.
How do you burnout on a motorcycle?
The best bike for you is the one on which you are most comfortable. Just start visiting the various dealers and trying them on.BTW- I prefer a woman ride her own, that way I don't have to deal with a passenger.
Hi there
Just about to take my test, I will however be restricted to 33bhp though. If you are 21 or over this will not apply to you, otherwise its something to think about when searching for a bike.
I'm going for the BMW f800s. The BMW is expensive (for a middle of the range bike) but the customer service should be good.
I THINK you are probably best off going for something like a suzuki sv650, honda cb600f hornet, pre-2003 yamaha fazer 600. These options have already cropped up, but thats because they are all popular with us newbies.
Definetly check out the BMW f800s though, its a cool bike and cheaper to insure than most japanese 4 cylinder 600's.
Take your time, and don't fully trust dealers as i've been fed crap by some before.
