I am 50 years old. I traded up from 33 years in the passenger seat to my first bike ever. After taking the MSF class twice because it was so much fun, I decided I really liked the Suzuki GZ250, but my experienced hubby thought I would outgrow that too quickly.

I chose the Heritage Softail because it was a “best fit” for my height, riding style and basic comfort. This was a first-time purchase with my brand-new class 6 license. The height and power of this machine suit me and my riding style very well. I appreciate the looks of it, but more than that, because I am tall, the Heritage Softail fit me like an amazing pair of perfect jeans!

I own two motorcycles. The first one my husband and I purchased was a 2008 Harley-Davidson Nightster 1200. We bought this bike in May 2008 after I signed up to take the Riders Course, which I completed and passed in June 2008. I had never ridden a bike before this except on the back with my husband.

I chose this bike because I tried holding up my husbands friends Shadow, and it felt like something I could handle as a beginning rider. It was probably a little big for me to start with. I dropped it twice on my first day riding on my own, but keep in mind I had never ridden any kind of motorized two wheeler.

A large displacement motorcycle sized for smaller rider that’s the latest hand dealt by Victory Motorcycles. Though cruiser seat heights usually fit vertically challenged folks pretty well, their laid-back cruiser profile means handlebars or footpegs often hover just out of comfortable reach for shorter riders.
