fun bikes for tiny people?!

Hi,
I've been riding motorbikes for a little while now and started off on a ninja 250, but feel ready to move on to bigger things now, quite literally...
The only problem is..I'm not the biggest physically, so I'm worried I might have trouble handling the faster numbers because they all seem to be huge in comparison to me...anyone got any suggestions for a lightweight bike with a little bit more bite than the ninja 250?

Never heard anyone regret buying an SV 650...light by my standards (about 365 lbs or 165 kg), very spirited engine performance, comfortable, seat height is a little high for me, but with my build so is most bikes...the SV is a little under 32".

So about 30 lbs heavier and 1-1.5" higher at the seat than your 250...probably wouldn't be too big of an adjustment for you...



The neat thing about the SV is everyone with one says it is the best all-around bike they ever owned...most people consider whatever they ride to be a compromise in some way...SV owners say it does everything well...

Looking for a new or used bike?

Psst - the picture posted is from an older generation of the SV650. It's a little edgier looking now. Oh, and I <3 mine!
