Yea, go fxr150 its a lovely bike. I went on one today, i liked it so much! And im real short too, 155cm, however many feet that is, and i could reach the ground fine.

FXR's have there place but I still beleive a volty would be a better/safer bet. Like I say thats just my opinion...

Goood luck finding a bike! Youre guna love it out there!

Off topic but .....

Just noticed the "zxr packed in boxes" and bus stop till 09...

What happened?

But that's because you're young skid. If you don't like something then others aren't allowed to either?? Imagine a world of Skidmark clones. I thought you packed a sad and were never posting on KB again??? Can't keep your word or just seeking attention?

Skidmark - to me all cruisers r shit....

I second that great learners bike and won't pull any nasty tricks on you.
Got a good review in Nov 07 BRM

Yamaha Scorpio , 4k will get you a new one on the road. Fairly low seat height, only 137kg. Its not a speed machine but very predictable and easy to handle. That just my opinion.Look around and find one that suits you.

Hey SM, dont need to be so negative with your opinion. Could have just said cruisers are not your thing and left it at that. :Offtopic

What do you need to get it going?

Yamaha Scorpio's are great little bikes too. Would be my next choice after the volty...
