ladies: sport bikes vs. cruisers? - Page 4

PSNinja · 06-04-2009

I have an 07 TruRed Ninja 650. Although when I tell my friends I ride, the first question is always, "do you ride a Harley?" No offense to HD, some of my best friends ride them, but why does everyone automatically assume all motorcyclists ride HDs?

I love mine so much I've decked her out with her own luggage. After all, don't all ladies need a good handbag?

Oh, that is too sweet! Love it!

PSNinja · 06-04-2009

Thanks! She's great!

diamond78 · 06-29-2009

I am the proud owner of a new 09 Ninja 650r - Passion Red. I had an older Honda 600 F2 - my starter bike. My husband was riding a gixxer 600 at the time so I went sportbike as well. I like the more upright seating on the 650r though.

I get too nervous to ever try a really tight u-turn on my bikes - I was able to do it in the MSF class, but haven't worked up the courage to try it with a bigger bike.

Love my Vulcan 900 cruiser! Husband and I rode 2,400 mile round trip to visit family on our cruisers. Couldn't imagine doing it on a sport bike.

lilredridingliz · 07-06-2009

We're about to ride 2,700 miles on our sport bikes. I can't imagine doing it on a cruiser, but I'll report back when we return!

Up Your Ally · 07-07-2009

I just got my first bike -- a FZ6R sport-touring and love it. Hubby wrecked it tho so... not sure what's next on my list.

lilredridingliz · 07-07-2009

He wrecked it? Geez, how come you let him ride it if he was going to do that?

Up Your Ally · 07-08-2009

Haha. Unfortunately, we had to share one because we couldn't afford to get too.

The thought he was looking cool being all "motogp".

V2K_CCTX · 07-23-2009

Need one of each, sport and cruiser....kinda like a wife and a mistress, but they dont fight each other LOL

V2K_CCTX · 07-23-2009

Ally, sorrry to hear hubby cracked up your bike...in my book he owes you a new ride of YOUR choice (I KNOW thats what I would be accountable for)

tely · 07-23-2009

Hey ALLY....your not going to post picture of the bike before the incident??

At least to let us know how it looked before your husband went out and destroyed it looking all motogp

ShadyLane · 07-24-2009

I'm a little ninja lover but that is because I am short and without lowering the bike, it is the only sport bike i can ride right now. But I learned on a cruiser for a year before I got the ninja 250. Fortunately, I still have both of them - not ready to let go of my starter bike. But After riding both - I say SPORT BIKE ALL THE WAY. LOVE IT !!!

Toni · 08-19-2009

900 LT for me.

So, why not just steal the 250 from your cousin? I'm sure you could beat him up and take it, being a biker chick and all

haha, i wish (that i could just steal it, of course i could beat him up

)!
We have considered buying it, but I'm torn. I love the power of the 600 more, but I have better control & can do more stuff on the 250. I'm really little (5'2 & less than 110 lbs) so everyone else just thinks the 250 is perfect for me. What to do, what to do?!?!

rbentnail · 09-02-2009

Sounds like a tough choice. Glad I don't have to make it. But if you're asking, I'd say go for the 250. Ride it around and enjoy it, all the while looking for something else that you like can be easily modified (lowered) to fit your petite frame.

08 ninja 250....i tried out my boyfriends cbr 1000 but i can barely touch the ground with my tip toes...might work if everywhere i rode was perfectly flat...for now i am happy with my little ninja
