A Bike For Kristine L

Written by Black Cat

What size of street bike would you recommend for a woman biker?

Here is an interesting question I received in an email form Kristine L. She asked; “What size of street bike would you recommend for a woman with only a small amount of dirt bike riding experience? I am trying to decide between a dual sport or a street bike. Let me know what you think”.

A decision to get a bike should never be taken lightly. There is a lot to consider when you get your first motorcycle. The size, can your feet touch the ground comfortably? Is it to heavy for you to hold up? Also the power, can you handle the bike safely? Is the motor to big or to fast for you to control the bike? Where will you do most of your riding? Will you be riding on the street mostly, off road or both?

Personally I would recommend a street bike because that is where I do my riding. I had not ridden any type of motorcycle sense I was a small girl, but my first motorcycle was a Harley Davidson Sportster 883 Low… It was a bit intimidating at first. however, after I learn to ride it and rode for a while it has become wonderful and fun to ride.

Unless you are a person that has the means to upgrade to a new bike at will. You should pick the bike that fits you the best. Because it is the one you will be riding for a while.

I am not by any means an expert on what motorcycle is best for anybody. I just know what worked for me. So I am going to open up this topic to any the women who read this blog that might have a suggestion that could help Kristine out.

If you have any ideas on what a good first bike for Kristine would be. Please give us your suggestions in the comment box below.

Ladies please give Kristine your input. Please help a woman that wants to get off the back and get her own ride.
