What size motorcycle should I get?
Depends on the type of bike you want. In a cruiser look for something around 600cc in a sport bike stay under 500 (ninja 250 is great and will run with a 600 cc cruiser all day). In a standard any thing up to a 600. Best to start small and then move up in a year or so, you will be a much better rider for it in the end.

What size motorcycle jacket should i buy????????
First Congratulations on taking the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Class. This is an important first step toward being a safe skilled rider. Now to answer your question. As you know riding is not a spectator sport. That said, you must go out an try on as many jackets as possible. You will soon see there are many styles and types of jackets to choose from. I have in my closet 5 different jackets and 1 safety vest to choose from depending on weather conditions. I wear a waist length Gore-Tex Cycloak jacket for cold weather. I picked up a light weight Technic jacket I wear for the warmer temperatures. For the really hot weather I wear a Joe Rocket Phoenix 2.0 mesh jacket. #4 on the jacket count is my trusty First Gear rain jacket and a heated Gerbing liner rounds out my list. Listed below are three types of safety vests available. I wear the Icon Mil-Spec. The last URL is a forum discussion of safety vests. Good Luck PS The Icon Mil-Spec vest is equipped with a St. Christopher medal. We cyclist need all the help we can get. Good Luck
What size/type of motorcycle should I learn on?
truthfully? depends what you are comfortable with and what you are allowed, in the UK you are restricted to a 125cc machine and then have a restricted liscence, unless you're over 25 then you can use a bike of not over 33 hp...... after that and after 25, providing you took the right route, you can ride what you want it's just Mr insurance man with his fangs in your neck from then on.but from personal experience i would say it's what you can handle that's far more important with your riding, i always found that larger older bikes are more stable and forgiving than the smaller CC versions, this DOES NOT MEAN go out and buy the biggest fire breathing hog out there, it means that you go and get something that you are comfortable on, can still pick up off the ground without killing yourself and sucessfully get it onto it's center stand without any major hassle, the pick up off the ground thing is pretty important, as you are learning and riding you WILL drop the bike, A LOT, so it's pointless getting something you need a crane to pick up.
What size motorcycle should I get for my 8 year old son for his first bike?
If he has never ridden before then get him started on a bike that is easy to ride something like a pee wee 80 or a crf70 as he needs to learn the basics of how to balance and lean before he should have to worry about the power of a 2 stroke like a 65cc. Putting a beginner on a 65cc is a sure way to put them off for life as those little things have quite a bit of go in them. But go to a bike dealership and let him sit on a few bikes to see how they feel and ask a few questions there.
What size motorcycle should a 400lb first timer get?
The max load being about 350lbs, it just isnt recommended. The Ninja 250 wouldn't run effectively with 400+ pounds on the frame. Sure it will still move but the acceleration or lack of acceleration would be a real problem. Not only working the engine a lot harder than it should, but a suspension issue could result. Go for a bigger, more powerful bike.
I’m 5’3, so what motorcycle should I get?
I hope you are at the legal age of riding a motorcycle. Which motorcycle you should get depends on a lot of factors, like which country you are from, what motorcycles are available, what is your purpose of riding( commuting, touring etc), and so on. Ninja 400 is a beginner motorcycle in the U.S while in India it is an intermediate motorcycle. A 100 cc motorcycle is a beginner/commuter motorcycle in IndiaYour height being 5′3 will not be an issue unless you are always riding in bumper to bumper traffic.I would suggest that you get the smallest capacity motorcycle that fulfills your usage. The reasons would beThey are light weight and will help build your confidenceThey can forgive mistakes like sudden Wide Open ThrottleThey are cheap to fix. Cheap motorcycles = cheap spare parts. which as a beginner would come in handyYou can learn more about handling and feel of the motorcycle because you don’t have much powerReally fun to ride.Get a test ride of the motorcycle you would like to buy and ride it in an environment you will mostly be riding in. If you are comfortable, then get it.I am partial towards Japanese motorcycles for their reliability and fair price.If you are still unsure, go through this link.Dani Pedrosa - Wikipedia
What size motorcycle engine should I buy if I am 6'7 and 250 pounds?
As others have said, the size and layout of the bike are going to be more important than the engine size. I have ridden my wife's Yamaha XT225 (225 cc). The bike had no problem moving my fat ass around, although I could tell the suspension was a little overwhelmed. But even on that relatively small bike, I did not feel cramped. Conversely, I have been on a Buell Lightning XB12 (1200cc), and looked like the proverbial monkey humping a football. Dual sport and adventure bikes tend to have roomy ergonomics, sports bikes not so much.I am 6'3″ and about 280#. My current bike is a KTM Adventure 990. The bike fits me quite nicely, although I must add that I have an aftermarket seat that is taller than the stock seat and 2″ bar risers. The seat gives me more leg room and is a much better place to rest my afore mentioned fat ass. The bar risers allow me to stand more upright when I get up on the legs. Neither mod was required, as I did several long rides before I did those changes without to much difficulty. That all being said, a KTM 990 is not a good choice for a beginner.Here are my reasons for often recommending dual sport bikes in the 650cc range for new riders, especially for taller people.You can get them cheaply. You can find used Kawasaki KLR 650s in the $2000 range.Dropping a dual sport is not an expensive event. No fairings. No chrome. Dual sports look better with a few scratches. OK, that last one may just be an opinion.You will have a bike that you can spend time learning how to ride without being scared of it, and still have enough powe to handle highway speeds.
