I'm only 5'5" (if you want to get technical, I'm 5'-5.5") and I'm searching for a 500cc motorcycle.
Originally I was going to buy a 250cc as a starter bike, but I really need to be able to eventually ride on the high way while my main car (350z) is in the shop for a transmission swap, and I can't afford switching bikes like that, so I need at least 500cc.
If you're curious as to what style of bike I like, read below:
I'm not looking for the fastest bike, I just want a nice sleek looking bike that can be reliable and driven on the highway, but doesn't look bulky and ugly.
I do not like Harley bikes or bikes that look like Harleys. (Well, I do like them, but they're just "not me" if you catch my drift) I don't like oversized cruiser bikes either (the 5-6 bags and 3 antenna's kind). I personally like sleek and simple looking bikes.
Refer to the url pics for more a better idea on the style of bikes I like.
I've personally have been looking at Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha lately as they are inexpensive, abundant and nice.
