What is the Best Motorcycle for a Woman?

Of all the emails that I get on a daily basis the one subject that stands out, head and shoulders above all emails, is the question "What is the best motorcycle for me". Women all over the country write to me with this simple request and the truth is this is not an easy question for me to answer.

There are many different factors that go into choosing the perfect motorcycle, if "perfect" is even attenable, not the least of which is how do you plan to use your motorcycle. For instance will you be using it for commuting back and forth to work, or will you be using it on the occasional weekend when the weather is nice.

A lot of times the correspondence I receive from a visitor begins with her height. Or how much she weighs. Let me tell you, our visitors are under 5 ft to over 6 ft and weigh from 100 pounds to above. In other words there is a large and diverse group of women motorcycle riders who visit our website that look like everyday life where you and I both live our lives. The only difference is, and its a very important difference, is that She is here at our site about to make a very important decision - she wants to get the Best Motorcycle for Her - and she wants some advice!
So I try to help, if I can by directing her to articles that have been featured on this site for a few years. Best Bikes and Best Motorcycle for a Woman are two articles that have become two of my most viewed pages. But it is now time to retire both of those articles and move towards better answering the two very important questions that she is asking us - What is the best motorcycle for a woman - is there a perfect motorcycle for a woman?

Her-Motorcycle.com has been online since 2007 and during that time I have collected an impressive number of submissions and comments from the visitors to this site that deal directly with finding the perfect, or best, motorcycle for a woman.

I don't claim to have the decisive answer to these questions. But these questions have been asked and answered by visitors to her-motorcycle.com many, many times. So below is our collection of responses that I hope will help you find the motorcycle that is perfect for YOU.

We are always here to help! We are happy to take all your motorcycle questions and discuss anything motorcycle related that you wish to talk about.
