Friend of mine (female) started out on one of those 250 rebels. She is only about 5'2" tall. One day she tried to bring mine up to balance off the kick stand & she couldn't do it. If you're tall enough and strong enough I think it would be the perfect bike for you. The factory floorboards come in handy also.
