Top 10 best motorcycles for girls
10 Ural Wolf
Country: Russia
Average price: From 150000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
The most interesting motorcycle for beginner girls from a domestic manufacturer. Let's be honest - the bike is heavy and its "dry" weight is 249 kilograms. This is a full-fledged chopper that has become popular at 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 betray him the power and brutality. The gearbox consists of only 4 steps 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 offset 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
Country: Japan
Average price: From 127000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
One of the best options for girls and bikers living in Russia. This bike combines the features of an ordinary city motorcycle, but also has the features of an off-road model. Very soft and docile, capable of accelerating from 150 to 170 km / h, depending on the model purchased.
Despite the large number of pluses, it has one minus, namely, height. With a height of less than 170 cm, only the toes of your feet will reach the ground. Compared to previous generations, the tank volume has also been reduced from 19 to 17 liters. There is an improvement in road performance and a deterioration in off-road performance, so 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, tend to make their products more "urban".
8 Honda NC750X
Country: Japan
Average price: From 404000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
Any girl usually carries a cosmetic bag with her to take care of herself. This bike will allow beautiful ladies to store their luggage in a special niche that easily fits a full-size motorcycle helmet. Excellent handling coupled with soft suspension make this motorcycle ideal for leisurely urban riding and walking. The NC700 belongs to the touring class of motorcycles, so it will not work to drive it.
As compensation, the manufacturer has tuned the engine and fuel system in such a way as to ensure minimal 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 reserved for the luggage compartment. Top speed is limited to 189 km/h.
7 Kawasaki KLX 250/D-Tracker
Country: Japan
Average price: From 150000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
Beginners and already skilled biker girls will be delighted with one of the best bikes for the city and off-road. The Kawasaki KLX 250 has great versatility, as evidenced by the D-Tracker modification, which is built for the city. It has a very successful 30-horsepower engine and low weight, which makes it comfortable on any type of surface.
We note right away that the gas tank is small - only 7 liters, which at the same time reduces the distance that can be driven at one gas station to 233 kilometers. At the same time, such a restriction had 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
Country: Japan
Average price: from 210000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
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 engine, then the VT750C will have a volume of 750 cubes. The low center of gravity and seat height will play into the hands of novice biker girls, as will its curb weight. Separately, the management is pleasing - you just need to fold the leg and put pressure on the gas, all the weight seems to disappear, which is why associations arise as 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. A motorcycle cannot serve as an alternative to racing models or as a transport for long distances, but it is great for training and city trips.
5 Yamaha XV1100 Virago
Country: Japan
Average price: From 120000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
There are legends that this bike was created by women and for women. A small height on the saddle helps even the shortest of the fair sex to saddle this steel handsome man. Good stability helps to keep a relatively low center of gravity. At the heart of the bike is a 1063cc twin-cylinder engine with 62 horsepower. Great news for the buyer will be the fact that the maximum performance of the motor is already achieved at around 3000 rpm.
The role of the main bearing element is played by a steel frame, and it is complemented by simple suspension in the form of telescopic forks and a double shock absorber at the rear. Rear drum brakes and front dual 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 CBR600F
Country: Japan
Average price: From 175000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
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 a 600RR model with a 118 horsepower engine. At the heart of the bike is a heavy-duty cast aluminum frame that gives all the necessary comfort, practicality and convenience for the rider and passenger.
The bike feels great on almost any surface and can serve as a workhorse while moving in an urban environment, or traveling between cities over short distances up to 350 km, since the gas tank capacity is only 19 liters. If we talk about the modification of the 600RR, it will already be a real racing bike, not quite suitable for beginners and the urban environment in general.
3 Honda CBR 250R
Country: Japan
Average price: From 105000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
The best, in our opinion, semi-sport bike for beginners. Ease. Speed and as if reading the thoughts of the driver - these are the first impressions when you saddle this handsome man.The 2013 model has a powerful 250cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with 4 valves and 2 overhead camshafts that delivers massive torque and gives the bike powerful momentum when accelerating.
We are also pleased with the advanced PGM-FI fuel injection system, which provides ideal responsiveness to the turn 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, including a tachometer, fluid temperature gauges and a speedometer. Maximum speed up to 185 km/h.
2 Yamaha XJ6
Country: Japan
Average price: From 200000 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
This bike is almost perfect. A combination of lightness, dynamics, comfort, maneuverability 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 possible to install a windshield, in case the trip promises to be especially long.
The model is equally well suited for both beginner biker girls and professionals. The maximum speed is 220 km / h with an engine capacity of 600 cubic centimeters. The gas tank has a volume of 17 liters and on average you can drive 340 km at one gas station. In total there are 3 modifications of this motorcycle:
- Diversion N without plastic lining;
- Diversion S with plastic cladding;
- Diversion F (FZ6R) for the US market.
1 Honda CBF250
Country: Japan
Average price: From 120000 rub
Rating (2022): 5.0
Honda CBF250 can be considered one of the best models for beginner biker girls. Very light and docile, it is also unpretentious in operation, which earned it the love of buyers around the world. Engine power is only 22 horsepower at a top speed of 140 km/h. The rear monoshock is hard to break through. The aluminum steering wheel feels good in the hands. The vitality of this Japanese motorcycle is striking, which is why it is 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 stand out from the others. The frame of the bike is very light and at the same time strong, which was the reason for placing 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 mud and swamps. The dynamics are weak due to 6 gears, which is why after 80 km / h there is a slow acceleration.
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.
- You should 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 money for restoration and overhaul.
- As the first bike, you can choose a one-liter model. Many professional motorcycle schools have already developed, where you will be taught how to handle even the most powerful bikes.
- When buying, consider a NOT NEW motorcycle, 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 a 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 spare 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.
- Do not try to choose a bike for life, as your tastes can change a lot.
