Ok so I'm thinking of getting a motorcycle within the next 2yrs. I know nothing about motorcycles but next year I am planning on getting my license M and the following year, buying a motorcycle. One problem, I'm only 5'1 and I want a sportbike. Something light so I don't tip over cuz it's so heavy and something with a low seat so that I can be comfortable on it EXCEPT I want a sleek looking sportbike. I've looked at Kawasakis, Yamahas, Ducatis, and Hondas, and the only ones I like really are the 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 650R (31.1in), 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R (30.5in), 2009 Yamaha F26R (30.9in), and the Ducati Monster 696 (30.3in). I like bikes like those but are there any other bikes that look like those that could be more suitable for a short girl like me? I only weigh 127 and would like bike that won't kill me!

Also, is having a motorcycle expensive? Like I know I can get used ones in good conditions for like $3k but is insurance a lot? I'm still in college and I have a PT job making $13.67/hr so I really would like a bike thats not too expensive but still nice.
 
all those bikes are going to cost more on insurance cuz there all sport bikes in your going to be a first time rider.so u might want to think about a cruiser for now.something like a rebel or whatever.
 
dont try to talk the girl into a crap cruiser, I have a 08 suzuki gsxr 1000 and love it, never get a cruiser unless your old, and well i dont think you are cause im 24, id say the best bet for you to learn on is the ninja 250, worse case scenerio is that you would just have to lower the bike a bit, which can be done easily, as for insurance, it would not cost a lot for that bike since it is a smaller cc bike and you can find a new 250 for around 3 and you probably wouldnt kill yourself on it as long as you watch out for the old idiots in their buicks

good luck, come ride with me!!
