I wanna get a motorcycle

[pickledXgrandma]

Is there any motorcycle riders on the board? Im 5'7 and im looking for something not too big. Do you guys have any advice on what a good beginner bike would be? I have been looking at the Honda Shadow VLX 600. Any advice is much appreciated

check out a suzuki sv650. not quite a sport bike but not really a cruiser either. great bike for a beginner and also not something you will soon "grow out of". also nice for shorter riders. i picked up an 02 with 12k miles for 2000 a few years ago. heres a pic, I've done some mods to give a sportier look and feel, quite different from stock.
