Nice! I tried a SV650 but it's too heavy and tall for me since I'm pretty small. Maybe after I get more practice on my ninja 250 I can get a larger bike. Maybe we can go for a ride someday?

yea a ride would be good. Don't forget if you are looking at bigger bikes you can usually lower them. We lowered her SV 1.5" and now she can just flat foot.

Hey! Welcome!!

I just bought my first bike this year.. i learned on a 125 @ the motorcycle school.. a week or so later i took out a 750 and a little while after that i tried a 1000... I am currently riding a 650 suzuki savage!
Trust me a 500 is do-able.. Im 118lb and 5"4 i know what you mean.. you will get tired of 250 fassst!!

If you ever need a riding partner hit me up.. i really want to get in contact with some female riders as well!!

Ride safe!!

sooo true about what she said.. you will get tired of the 250 real fast.
my buddy, i let her ride my gixxer a few times... now she doesnt even wanna get on her bike.. and just wants to sell the damn thing... then again everyone levels up at their own pace. ride safe! maybe this weekend. ill message you to come out.

I think Miss Special and Switchx (and any other female riders) - should ride with older guys and not stick to riding with each other......Its just safer --
