Hey All! Just stopping in to say what's up. I'm a new rider, just bought my first bike a little over a month ago and am loving it so far. Being a 5'1 female I decided to start with a 2008 CBR 125. Not a bad little bike to learn on. I may need to move up to a bigger bike soon, but for now it's great for learning. The posts on here are giving me some great tips to build up my skills.

 

Welcome Oli...glad you found us. Take it slow and easy...ride your own ride. Settle in and be safe out there.

 

Welcome to the forum and riding!

Riding a bike will change your life. Riders, for the most part, are like one big family.
Good that you're starting like you are. It shows that you are smart and want to learn to ride, not just hang on. Congrats on the bike, cant wait to see pictures of it. Enjoy life through a visor....

Let us know if you have and questions with the forum, riding stuff, or thing about your bike.

 

Hey Oli, Welcome to CBRF. I'm 4'11". hahaha. nobody beats my short height so far. Anyways, enjoy the ride and be safe!!

 

Thank for the warm welcome everyone!! I'll get some pics up soon. 74 Demon, I do have a couple of q's, so I'll look for the right area to post them in. But lots of great info on here to get me going. YumonCBR you're even tinier than I am!! What do you ride?

 

I started on 09 600rr and I love my bike. I also have 06 gsxr750 but my friend is riding that one.

 

That's awesome! I sat on a 600 at the dealership just to check it out, but I couldn't get my toes down and it felt massive. I wasn't sure someone my size could ride one, so I'm impressed! Can I ask if you had it lowered? If not, how do you manage stops etc? Once you're moving I guess it's no problem.
