Top 10 best motorcycles for girls

10 Ural Wolf

The most interesting motorcycle for beginner girls from a domestic manufacturer. Let's face it - the bike is heavy and its "dry" weight is 249 kilograms. This is a full-fledged chopper that has become popular in photo shoots due to its shape and aggressive disposition.

The bike is set very low, so almost no one has problems with landing. The abundance of chrome and leather give it power and brutality. The gearbox consists of only 4 stages with an engine power of 45 horsepower. I am pleased with the large volume of the fuel tank, namely 21 liters. This plus is immediately leveled by fuel consumption, which is an impressive 5.5 liters per 100 km. The maximum speed can be described as low and it is fixed at around 140 km / h.

9 Honda Transalp

One of the best options for girls and bikers living in Russia. This bike combines the features of a regular city bike, but also has the features of an off-road model. Very soft and obedient, capable of accelerating from 150 to 170 km / h, depending on the model purchased.

Despite the large number of pluses, there is one minus in it, namely, the height. With a height of less than 170 cm, only the toes of your feet will reach the ground. Compared to previous generations, the volume of the tank has also been reduced from 19 to 17 liters. There is an improvement in road performance and a deterioration in off-road performance, therefore, despite its versatility, we recommend using it for city trips. This is due to the fact that manufacturers, due to the unpopularity of off-road solutions, seek to make their products more "urban".

8 Honda NC750X

Any girl usually carries a cosmetic bag with her to take care of herself. This bike will allow lovely ladies to store their luggage in a special niche that easily fits a full-size motorcycle helmet. Excellent handling combined with soft suspension make this bike ideal for leisurely city riding and walking. The NC700 belongs to the touring motorcycle class, so it won't work.

To compensate, the manufacturer has tuned the engine and fuel system to ensure the lowest fuel consumption in any driving mode. The gas tank itself in the new versions of the bike is located under the rear seat, and the central part is completely set aside for the luggage compartment. The maximum speed is limited to 189 km / h.

7 Kawasaki KLX 250 / D-Tracker

Beginners and already skilled female bikers will be delighted with one of the best bikes for the city and off-road. The Kawasaki KLX 250 has excellent versatility, as evidenced by the D-Tracker, which is built for the city. It has a very good 30 horsepower engine and a light weight that makes it comfortable on any type of surface.

Immediately, we note that the gas tank is small - only 7 liters, which at the same time reduces the distance that can be traveled at one gas station to 233 kilometers.At the same time, this limitation has a positive effect on the mass, which is only 138 kg. The maximum speed is 144 km / h. Average fuel consumption is 3 liters per 100 km.

6 HONDA SHADOW VT750C Classic

The best handling is one of the main trump cards of this model. The digital index in the name of the motorcycle directly depends on the volume of the motor, then the VT750C will have a volume of 750 cubes. The low center of gravity and saddle height will play into the hands of novice female bikers, as will its curb weight. Separately, the control is pleasing - you just have to fold the leg and press on the gas, all the weight seems to evaporate, which causes associations like when driving a bicycle.

The classic design is expressed in deep-set fenders, chrome pipes and a saddle-shaped seat. Power, as well as speed, varies from 42 to 66 horsepower and 159-177 km / h, respectively. The motorcycle cannot serve as an alternative to racing models or as a long-distance transport, but it is great for training and city walks.

5 Yamaha XV1100 Virago

Legend has it that this bike was created by women and for women. The low saddle height helps even the smallest of the fair sex to saddle this handsome steel man. A relatively low center of gravity also helps to maintain good stability. At the heart of the bike is a 1063cc two-cylinder engine with 62 horsepower. Great news for the buyer will be the fact that the maximum performance of the motor is achieved already at around 3000 rpm.

A steel frame plays the role of the main load-bearing element, complemented by simple telescopic forks-shaped suspensions and a double shock absorber at the rear. Rear drum brakes and front double disc brakes provide optimal braking at all speeds. The volume of the fuel tank is small - only 16.8 liters, while the curb weight is 239 kilograms, and the maximum speed reaches 172 km / h.

4 Honda CBR 600F

The owner of this motorcycle will always be surrounded by attention. A cool engine with 102 horsepower, a rigid chassis and a democratic fit give it a desire to be sporty. For connoisseurs of high speeds, Honda has prepared the 600RR model with a 118 horsepower engine. At the heart of the bike is a heavy-duty die-cast aluminum frame that provides all the necessary comfort, practicality and convenience for the driver and passenger.

The bike feels great on almost any surface and can serve as a workhorse when moving in an urban environment, or when traveling between cities for short distances up to 350 km, since the volume of the gas tank is only 19 liters. If we talk about the modification of the 600RR, this will already be a real racing bike, not quite suitable for beginners and the urban environment in general.

3 Honda CBR 250R

The best semi-sport bike for beginners in our opinion. Ease. Quickness and, as it were, reading the thoughts of the driver - these are the first impressions when you saddle this handsome man. The 2013 model features a powerful, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 250cc, 4-valve, 2-overhead camshaft engine that delivers impressive torque and dynamic acceleration.

We are also pleased with the advanced PGM-FI fuel injection system, which provides perfect responsiveness to the rotation of the accelerator handle, allowing you to save fuel. Stylish full-length fairings give the bike a sporty look. The digital instrument panel is intuitive and includes a tachometer, fluid temperature gauges and a speedometer. The maximum speed is up to 185 km / h.

2 Yamaha XJ6

This bike is almost perfect. A combination of lightness, dynamics, comfort, agility and value. It has a soft suspension, which makes it very comfortable in the city, especially in the harsh conditions of Russian roads.If you want to go on a long journey, then like many other "classmates" it is equipped with corrugations for cosmetics, hand luggage and other small things. It is also possible to install a windshield if the trip promises to be especially long.

The model is equally well suited for both beginner female bikers and professionals. The maximum speed is 220 km / h with an engine volume of 600 cubic centimeters. The gas tank has a volume of 17 liters and an average of 340 km can be traveled with one filling. There are 3 modifications of this motorcycle in total:

• Diversion N without plastic cladding;
• Diversion S with plastic cladding;
• Diversion F (FZ6R) for the US market.

1 Honda CBF250

The Honda CBF250 can be considered one of the very best models for aspiring female bikers. Very lightweight and obedient, it is also unpretentious in operation, and this has earned the love of buyers all over the world. Engine power is only 22 horsepower at a top speed of 140 km / h. The rear mono-shock absorber is hard to break. The aluminum steering wheel is comfortable to hold. The survivability of this Japanese motorcycle is striking, which is why it was loved in African countries, especially in the United Arab Emirates.

The motorcycle has a simple and thoughtful style so that the owner is not embarrassed by its appearance, but also does not particularly stand out against the background of others. The bike frame is very light and strong at the same time, which was the reason for accommodating up to 2 people with a total weight of no more than 175 kg. The owner has the opportunity to upgrade his iron horse, for example, you can install trial rubber and go to conquer the mud and swamps. The dynamics are weak due to 6 gears, which is why a slow acceleration is observed after 80 km / h.

How to choose a motorcycle for a girl?

We will give some simple tips that are equally useful for girls, beginners and everyone interested in this topic.

• Do not focus on the models of the late 1990s and early 2000s. 80% of all produced bikes are no longer suitable for riding, and the remaining 20% ​​need a hand and a lot of funds for restoration and overhaul.
• You can also choose a one-liter model as the first bike. Nowadays, there are many professional motorcycle schools already developed, where you will be trained to handle even the most powerful bikes.
• Consider NOT a NEW motorcycle when buying, but not older than 10 years. It may turn out that a new bike will not suit you, and the law of the market is such that even just standing in the garage, a motorcycle loses 20-30% of its value.
• Minimum plastic. Aesthetics and beauty are good, but not as important as safety. Soldering, painting and changing fairings every time will be boring and costly.
• Popularity. The more common the model, the easier it is to find parts for it and sell it.
• Calm motor. It is important to choose a motorcycle with a motor that will forgive your mistakes, of which you will have a lot at first.
• Don't try to pick a bike for life, as your tastes can change a lot.
