Whats Good!! well i spent all last summer on the back of a bike.....it was a huge adrenaline rush at first, but now i feel the need.....the need for spead. So Im lookin for a good starter bike. I've been researching the EX250. Becuase I am a vertically challenged female i will need a lower bike for more stability. I am from the NY area if there is anyone out there looking to sell their starter bike for a reasonable price. I am new to riding so any info or opinions, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the input...good lookin out

re

dstyle,have you taken the saftey course yet? first do that,you'll prolly use a 250 for the course and you can decide if that is the bike for you. base your bike on the type of riding your gonna do most,starting small is not a bad thing but a 250 will get very boring rather quickly,keep your choice within your ability and try different scoots before you decide. mostly don't let someone else tell you what to ride-ride what feels good to you
hope this helps-good luck and keep us posted on what's happin'

ride safe :wink:

vertically challenged :lol: no such thing-there's a rider on here with his 4 year old son ridin' a 50

Well, I understand your desire. I got my first ride on the back of my father's harley when I was 4 and severals times during my childhood. Then I have been riding on the back of my boyfriends Shadow/Katana for 5 years. It took me a while to decide to go it alone and get my own bike, but finally I did it this past year. I took the motorcyble riders training course, already had a nice Ninja 500 and started practicing every day. First in parking lots then gradually out on the street and eventually took my first long rode trip (400miles total) 4 months later. I took the course with my co-worker and she is only 4'11". She had no problem on the bikes provided by the course. We have been trying to find her a bike and have been told that some bike (especially sport bikes) can be lowered. Also I know of a guy who carved the cushion out of the seat so he sat lower on the bike. Only problem with that is, if you have a large chest it may get in the way when you lean over the gas tank (which was her case).
Glad to have another potential fellow female rider though. Good Luck!

I ride a 250 and it's great... My 12 year old sister doesn't have any problem climbing onto it, and she can tiptoe the ground enough to balance it as well. Of course, I don't let her ride it, she just wanted us to snap a photo of her on it... but if you don't fit on the bike stock, it can be lowered fairly easily and I also know of a few people who carve some foam from their seat to lower it an inch or so.

That's what I like to see...more female riders. I'm getting so tired of all the guys at bike night and no chicks to look at. Just kidding. Congrats on the decision.
