Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: Im new at this, suzuki sv650, suzuki bikes

Question
I live in a semi-hilly area and I am a 5' 3" 120 lb. girl. I am trying to figure out what a good street bike would be for me, I really like suzuki bikes, but I have no idea what size I should even begin to look at.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam

You are not alone when it comes to choosing a suitable motorbike, due to your build.  Do want to go for a custom or street bike.  I have taught a number of women and they seem very happy with the Suzuki SV650.  It has the power and has a good seat height.  Another bike which looks good with a low seat height is the Kawasaki ZZR600.  All I can suggest is try some out for size in the bike shops, you can modify the seat or reduce the ride height.  Nothing is not achievable these days.  Alison who did a course last year was about you size and rode a CCM Supermoto, no problems.

Good luck and let me know how you get on
