I have 3 motorcycles to choose from:yamaha v-star 250,suzuki TU 250 and honda rebel.?

which one would be the best one to learn on?i am 24 years old, 5 1 and i have short legs.|||Hmm, that's a tough one. I think either one would be a suitable learner's bike. You should pick the one with the best resale value, in case you want to trade up.





Your best bet is to take the MSF course so you learn all the "right" things in a controlled environment, and you can earn your license at the end of the course.|||My wife is also 5'1" and has short legs. we went to the honda dealer to buy her a rebel and came to the following conclusions..





the rebel is only a 250 and good to learn on, but if you're going to buy a brand new bike spend like $30 more a month and walk over and look at the 750's. they're a lot more bike for the money, just fine to learn on, and with her short legs she can flatfoot it. if you buy the 250 you will outgrow it and want to trade up within a year and spend more money, save yourself money now by spending a little more and get on a 750, she learned on/ rides a 07 Honda spirit 750 c2,essentially the same bike as a honda aero, but more hotroddy cruiser style.





don't be intimidated by the bigger bike, theyre very easy to handle and much nicer in the wind than the little 250|||You're looking at two low slung cruisers and a standard. The Suzuki 250 Cruiser with the low saddle is the GZ250.





All three are excellent bikes, will all last indefinitely with regular maintenance. All easy to handle at about 320-330 pounds wet. All are excelent street bikes, all capable of running the freeways at 70 mph. All will run hundreds of miles on two-lane roads at 50-55 mph while delivering 80+ mpg. The one that is "best" is the one you are most comfortable sitting on.





I was looking at this group four years ago. The Honda poked me in the thighs when I had my feet down. The Suzi and Yami were both comfortable and I was trying to sort between the v-twin and single.





Which was when I noticed Suzi's LS650 -- the big single. Physically the same size as the 250's, only 50 pounds heavier, but with a 652cc single capable of cruising the Interstates at 70-75 with a top speed of 85. This would be a better bike if you want to go on a long trip. Otherwise, any and all of the 250's are 'best'.|||the smallest engine bike out of the three, or if they are the same then choose the one You can handle the best, then get the feel of the bike and then if you want Upgrade in a year or so.|||the motorcycle coarse i took had all those models.if you havent taken a coarse,i suggest yo do. you will learn a lot.|||I would go for the Rebel is well. My wife has one and it is a well built bike. Im sure the others are good as well, but I like the Hondas myself.|||Im partial to the durability and dependability of hondas so for that reason Id tell you to go for the rebel.
