Smaller Rides

I used to have a ninja 250, I could cruise around on that thing going 110 all day. Standard cruising speed was 90mph, and it was so light that it was plenty easy to keep it at those speeds on back roads. The engine is small enough that it doesn't feel all that buzzy either. I highly recommend the 250. The gs500 we got for my wife is ok as well, but I feel like the 250 would've given it a run for it's money.

It's not the most powerful bike, but it definitely makes up for the power with it's weight and size.

First off, I wouldn't recommend a 250R for someone as short as you, I would go with a blast. I'm 5'7" and the Blast was, well a blast! I loved that bike and it was my starter bike. When I sold it I wish I had been able to keep it. Moving on, the 250R can't do over 105MPH unless there was some motor work done, the Blast I could get up to and a little over 100MPH. The Blast has a lot more torque and is a lot more fun to ride thru the city and from light to light.
