hi im new here and i was wondering if
a kawasaki ninja 250R is suitable for a girl....

It really depends on what you want it for... Are you a new rider?

IMO its a great bike to start on (Im not sure if LoopyLee has done a page about it yet

) and if I can remember correctly its not that high either.

yes i am a new rider.. haha i just want something that wont kill me.. haha
but would you recommend it for a female?...

A couple of wives of mates of mine both started on Honda VTR 250s so I don't think the Kwaka would be a problem if the height is right for you.

Make sure you do as many courses as possible, they help quite a bit.

aznvictoria · 08-14-2008, 5:22 AM

a girl my height?

They don't sell the vtr 250s in the states though do they?

You can get boots with like an inch of rubber on the bottom (would raise you up a bit).

If you want to get a feel of the bike, go down to the the dealer ships and just have a wonder - make sure you don't buy anything until someone who knows what they are doing are with you (they target people)

You can then look at new models and prices and what suits you best. Make sure you get good protection e.g. leather jacket/trousers, good helmet, boots & gloves etc.

as long as it fits your properly when you sit on it, the 250 is a great starter bike. the new ones look amazing. they're a blast to ride and resale on them is very very good.

highly recommended!

aznvictoria.. lovely to have another girl on here... If you join us in the PMS (girls only

) section you will find advice on what bikes girls can ride, as well as other information for female riders.. It would be great to have you as a member.. I've written a list of bikes currently ridden by girls (and some girls are really tiny (under 5 foot) but that hasn't stopped them at all)..
The Ninja 250 is a great bike for a girl, and also new riders, and I know a few girls who have them already and love them..

I must admit I do like sheep.. dont ask me why but they are kinda cuddly, must be all that woolyness about them.. I go off sheep when they have been shorn, I think they look much better with all the wool
