Help me pick a motorcycle!?

best electric bikes of 2013 image

Johnson

I am thinking about getting a motorcycle instead of a car for college. The university I am going to has a very large, closed in campus which isnt quite walkable, so I wanted to get a bike to get around quickly and efficiently, as well as go to the store for groceries (ill just get saddle bags, not a big deal). It will also be used to drive around a large city (Seattle), and taken on the I-5 highway occassionally, but not often. I dont need or want my bike to be very fast, just enough for the highway.

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 is a solid contender for me, mostly because of its price and positive reviews. I definitely want either a sport or naked bike, preferably under $3-4k, so it fits the bill. It isnt very fast either, which is frankly a plus for me. Is the Ninja a good bike for my uses? ie: every day use, commute, convenience in daily life, city riding.

The biggest concern for me is cost. I know the bike itself it cheap enough, but how about the insurance? What would I expect to pay with the good grades discount, being 18-19 years old, college student? Also on a family plan most likely, so some discounts can be expected there.

Thanks alot, I hope someone has some answers for me :)

Answer
Yes, 250 or 300 both are the very good bikes and you don't be worry with the price difference. Compare the all specification and then you may be find which bike to choose. For insurance related query you can ask to your local agent.

Dirt bike question?!?

Amanda

I was wondering if anyone experienced in dirt bikes could help me out.

I am looking to buy a dirt bike but im not sure what one I should get.
I mostly want the back for track riding and not for trail riding. I am a female 5'1 and 100 pounds. I do not want to get a beginners bike but would rather have one I can keep for years to come. I do have a small amount of experience in riding. I was looking more towards a Yamaha but any brand could work.
I want a fast back with a good amount of power. Any help would be much appreciated.
Oh and im 19 almost 20 if that makes any difference.
What about something like a YZ 250F or YZ 250?? Not sure whats better though 2-stroke or 4.

Answer
The seat height on the YZ 125s and 250s will be too much for you. They are almost 40 inches. You will never be able to touch the ground. The ideal situation is sit on the seat and at least be able to touch your toes to the ground on both sides.

Check out the 2013 TTR125 LE 34" seat height, front disc brake, 4 stroke and electric start. Probably would work good for you.
