CB1100EX for a new rider? (my daughter)
#22
(03-19-2018, 12:30 PM)Stichill_imp Wrote: I'd opt for a bike weighing between 350 to 475 lbs (160 kg to 215 kg) with around 23 to 45 HP, a short wheelbase, mid-mounted foot controls, and appropriate seat height to allow ground contact with the balls of the feet (or better). Opt for some wind protection if any riding is expected at highway speeds (65 mph and up).
Succinct and 100% correct!
There is only one item I'd add: rake (front fork angle) closer to 25 than to 30 degrees. This is somewhat dependent on where/why will the bile be used, and is based strictly on my experience; I realize there might be different opinions on this particular factor.
