CB1100EX for a new rider? (my daughter)
#24
For the Ferret:
A bike needs to just feel right.
Sit on it and feel comfortable...handlebar grips are where you expect.
Foot controls are where you expect.

But before checking out a bike, I do like to review the stats...also helps evaluate if sales person is truly knowledgeable about the model (start by asking questions that I already know answers to).
