Honda Magna
by: JoAnn

I'm 5'3" and 130 lbs. I have a 750cc Honda Magna. Both feet touch the ground and it is not too heavy for me. Plus it has good get up and go. I tried a few others but this one felt the best for me. Happy Riding.

That's easy!

The one you feel most comfortable sitting on. Sounds dumb, but the best bike for me is perhaps not the best bike for my friend. It's all about a level of comfort, control and confidence while sitting on your bike, and then a level of enthusiasm for the ride itself.

You simply have to go where there are quite a few different sizes, styles, makes, models and start sitting on one bike after another. You will want off some almost immediately, and will not want to get off others. Then, when you have an idea of what feels manageable under you, ask questions or read up on just those models that you felt good sitting on. I have found owner feedback in blogs very honest and helpful for this.

Happy shopping!

That was my question
by: Denise

I am a very new rider, am 5'1, weigh 135 and own a Honda 750 shadow, which feels right to me. I had some people tell me it was too big for me, but was told at the rider class that it wasn't. I can touch the ground and it is very manuverable and I think that is what matters. Everybody on this site is very helpful and I'm sure you'll get that same opinion from experienced riders here. Happy riding.
