Im VERY small for my age, im 22, and im 5-7 or so and 110lbs. Im skinny i know. Ive never been on a bike but if i was, what would u suggest? My friends say i'd be either an awesome bike rider or race car driver or horse jockey-haha---b/c im so small, any suggestions?

 

Im not too much bigger, 5'6" and 130lbs, and my girlfriend is 5'3" 108lbs. We both ride the Kawasaki Ninja 250 which is such a fun bike. You will like the ride and the price.

How about a classic like a FZR 400 that is if you can find one. I've been riding bikes for 14yrs. now and this is one of my favorite motorcycles.

but i am a few years younger...

I would suggest a 250 also. Pack a lil more weigth + exp and u can definately ride a 600 or even a 750.

 

No offense, but both of you guys need to go to the gym. I'm 21, go to the gym regularly and weigh 184 and 6'1.

 

I'm sure thats great but i have a very fast metabolism so no matter how much i eat or go to the gym it is very hard to get bigger. When i was born 3 months early in 1980 i was 2lbs 3ounces--my mom said my head was the size of a tennis ball i was so small. I'm ok w/ being the way i am, im used to it. I do have a weight advantage though when racing people-lol.

I'm gonna rant here for a minute...

Usually when some one says, "no offense, BUT"
or "don't wanna sound like a [insert whatever they are here]"

It says to me, "excuse me while I exercise no self control or feeling for anyone else and I'm really exactly what I dont want to sound like, or really dont care if I offend you."

Some things just dont NEED to be said.

 

plus I don't think that going to the gym wil help the grow any taller now anyways....oh yeah and by the way...I know a guy that DOESN'T go to the gym and weighs 200lbs (beat you by 16 lbs) and is 6'3 ( 2 inches taller than you too)....looks like you neeed to hit that gym a little more buddy!

anyways if you guys are kinda short and don't weigh too much, I really don't think it matters too much, Most motorcycle racrs are fairly small guys. But anyways, just go to you cycle shop and sit on a few bikes, see which ones feel better to you (remember its gonna weigh more full of oil and gas though) but thats the best way to find a bike that fits your frame size the best in my opinion.

 

word, my metabolism is INSANELY fast. can't help it, i eat like a horse.. don't eat that healthy, yet i don't gain weight. i do work out occasionally.. still dont' gain weight. well i don't plan on riding a bike anytime soon, but i'd love to learn. maybe in the future, but i still got some growing room in me. once i stop growing vertically, hopefully i'll start growing horizontally.

 

My bike will ALWAYS be faster than yours b/c i have about 80lbs advantage. HAHHAHA seee you in my rearview big slow guy

 

hehehe
2001 VS 2002 fuel injected..

Well here is what happens when you are too fat and big, I need to lose 50LBS,
former body builder, me 6ft tall 280 LBS my friend 6ft tall 165 LBS Me on my 2002
R1 him on his 2001 R1 with a slip on pipe,
I only have 300 miles on her so all we did was a few roll ons in 6th gear....From
50 miles an hour I lost like I was standing still, he "ROCKETED AWAY" with several
"Like 40" bike lengths between us in just seconds! "No Surprise" from 60mph same
results.....If you are a fat *** dont expect to be a challenge for anyone, cant
imagine big guys on 600s thinking of being anything more than as slow as turtles!

Saldy thats a true statement.
I am about to get an R6 and i am not a small guy at 6'1 275... so i am sure i will get smoked by other 600's.

Blykins, you need a 250 kawasaki ... since you are a horse jockey your power/weight ratio would rule.

Arron yates is probably the biggest pro in AMA supersport racing and I think he's won all three races so far this season.....

.......so...umm..... ...yeah...!..!...
