Default New Rider: finding a bike for a short guy
At about 5'7" and 170 lbs. I have been looking at bikes that not only are visually appealing but are comfortable for a short rider. I also don't want an underpowered bike but weight and handling are also going to be issues for me. I like the Yamaha VStar Midnight Custom and the Honda 750 Spirit. I also like the Harleys but not sure which one would be good as a starter. I don't want to consider an underpowered bike that I would want to trade right away. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

Dave
