I am 5 foot 3 and learned on a Kawi Ninja 250. I wanted to learn on the 250 because I could flat foot and it made me feel more comfortable. I occasionally rode on the freeway but only when i had other bikers with me. IMO, the 250 didn't have enough power to safely ride on our busy freeways. I upgraded to an Suzuki SV 650s after 6 months. I am able to almost flat foot with my riding boots on. I am really glad I started on the 250 but am very happy with my 650. Don't let anyone pressure you in to starting out on a bigger bike than you comfortable on. It will make all the difference in your confidence level if you are comfortable on your bike. You can find used Ninja 250's fairly cheap.

Even smaller would be a Honda CBR 125R which is less bulky, lightweight, good for city riding.

Hi there,

You are taller than I am by 1 inch and I ride a Ducati Monster 695. Both my feet touch the ground just fine. That should fit you just fine. Ninja 250 is pretty small but the engine size is pretty small, too. The Ducati Monster will get you around just fine, in my opinion. My bike's seat height it maybe 1 inch higher than the Ninja 250. I hope this helps!

Cathy
