What's a good bike with displacement of 100cc-250cc for a noob?

[)I(EHbKA]

I want a small bike because I want it to be light, and it will have good maneuvrability, also if it falls it can be picked up easily,(besides I am only 5'6-5'7 120lbs) so any suggestions? Also something very cheap 0-1500$ cnd. pictures would be nice

thanks

first if the bike falls you can pick it up your adrenaline will be pumping so hard i picked up my 600 without even trying when i droped it and 100cc bike would be like a pocket rocket you can buy them things off the side of the road for like 500$ new there toys not street legal and buy protective gear if you get a real bike a helmet gloves boots thats gonna take 400 of your budget you mise well save up a lil bit before you get into the sport not to mention insurance OUCH but if you insist try sitting on a new like a 250 ninja

agreeded.. if ya didnt or couldnt find a 250 ninja used they are like $3k brand new.. so 1 if ya dropped it and the farrings broke.. it prolly wont break your wallet all that bad..

they weight just over 300lbs dry (no oil, water, gas) so it wont be so bad... also they arent too slow.. they still do like 4.9 0-60mph which is good compared to cars

a 250r ninja is a pretty nice bike for its size. it's got a 14K rpm redline, comes with a center stand(great for oil changes, chain lubes, etc.) and side kickstand, has 4 valves per cylinder and a 6 speed tranny.


this is an 04 250R.

thanks for the advice but I am not that much into sport bikes, although if I had one I would ride it for sure, I am more into bikes like this



also, does anyone know how is the 2002-2004 Honda Nighthawk 250cc, I like the way it looks, but it seems to be a really cheap bike, drum brakes on the front, for today's technology that's kind of cheap for a Honda

wth is that...thats...weird...if you dont want a sport bike go buy something like a honda shadow there like 5400$ new used alot cheaper used and the 583cc engine isnt all too bad of a beginer bike the low cc rule only applys to sport bikes for the most part just be smart about it theres also a honda rebel new 3000$ 234cc if you are looking for something small go to www.honda.com

Honda had a VTR250 that was a GREAT beginner bike for a lot of people. I'm sure you could get a few hits off a google search of them!
