13 best motorcycles for girls

More and more women ride or plan to ride motorcycles. Among many models, you can choose, however, those on which ladies will feel much better.

motorcycles for women

What should characterize a motorcycle that a woman wants to ride? Everyone thinks he must be good. This is true, but beauty is not the most important thing. Ladies put convenience first. They tend to be shorter, lighter and weaker (though this also varies) than men, so saddle height, bike weight and ergonomics matter. You should be comfortable reaching with your feet on the ground or walking your motorcycle out of the garage. What is important is comfort in the saddle, distance to the steering wheel, control of the handles and levers, and finally the maneuverability of the machine and ease of maneuvering.

There are no motorcycles specifically designed for women, but there are many that will give women the pleasure of riding.

Honda MSX 125 / 125 Monkey

Honda MSX 125 / 125 Monkey

We have already written about this motorcycle several times, and each time it was tested by a female representative. Not surprising, because this is a motorcycle designed for women, and its big advantage is its low weight and size. This is one of those motorcycles that you won't have to fight with, and you can fully concentrate on driving or learning the movement. There is only one drawback: very quickly it will turn out that your boyfriend will start stealing it, and over time it will turn out that he rides it more often than his big and heavy motorcycle. In our opinion, the Honda MSX and Honda Monkey 125 are the coolest city bikes in the world.

Suzuki VanVan 125

Suzuki VanVan 125

One of our editors says his wife threatens to eventually learn to ride a motorcycle. Unfortunately, that's where it all ends. It's a pity, because Timur has already done this a long time ago - he has mastered two wheels, and in his garage there is a VanVan 125, which his wife can easily steal. However, this would not be a patriarchally imposed choice, because she also liked the motorcycle. Why? Because it’s a really cool mot. Not specifically high-speed or dynamic. It has fat tires, but they create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in Miami Beach in the 80s as you cruise down the boulevards of Moscow. That doesn't mean propulsion is the only thing Suzuki does well. A full range of advantages, such as ease of driving, agility, a long-lasting engine or low fuel combustion, can of course be attributed to the characteristics of the VanVan. It's also low-cut, which is likely to appeal to many women.

Yamaha Virago 535

Yamaha Virago 535

This is a biker legend. Good equipment for beginners and, above all, for the fair sex. It is light, its power is not deafening, and the height of the sofa allows it to be in reliable contact with the ground. In addition, there are indeed many models on auction portals. For every taste and color. When searching for your dream, there are a few details to pay attention to, but without the fuss. The amount of “junk” on the market is baffling, and restoring a motorcycle to good condition should not leave you out of your bags - with common sense of course!

Hyosung RT 125 Karion

Hyosung RT 125 Karion

Hyosung Karion was our Marina's first motorcycle. There is nothing to hide that the recently introduced regulation on the possibility of driving vehicles with a volume of 125 cc. cm for category B driving license holders was like a bolt out of the blue for her. Until now, Marina's only motorcycle experience was off-road driving and her beloved Yamaha YZ125 Hyosung, on the other hand, turned out to be an excellent companion for city riding. Its main advantages certainly include its affordable price, low fuel consumption (around 2-3 l/100 km) and a pleasant ride. It may not impress with torque or power (although 13.6 hp is still a pretty good result), but it has everything you need for a smooth ride around town. Without major problems, it will accelerate to 110 km/h, and the “air” tires will overcome most of the bumps. The seat is also very comfortable.

According to Marina, this bike is a very good option for people who would like to try their hand at driving bikes, but have no experience. The motorcycle is light (135kg), quite maneuverable and certainly forgiving of many mistakes.

“In fact, after a while the rider feels the lack of power and already dreams of a better motorcycle, which does not change the fact that the Karion remains one of my favorite motorcycles for city riding. Oh, I forgot - this Hyosung is quite an excellent basis for all tunings, which, however, I would like to get acquainted with someday. I hope it doesn't break." – adds Marina.

The best “small capacity” motorcycles for girls

This section of the rating presents motorcycles with an internal combustion engine capacity of 250-400 cm3.

The price of this equipment is the most affordable.

BMW G 310R

Rating: 5.0

In first place in the rating is the German BMW motorcycle G310R series. This model has been produced for several years and has become a favorite of many girls. The manufacturer has put convenience at the forefront. The seating position here is almost vertical with a slight forward tilt, so your hands get less tired on long trips. The seat has a two-tier configuration - you can take a passenger with you who will not constantly slide forward. The motorcycle has a four-cylinder engine with a volume of 313 cm³, producing 34 hp. The internal combustion engine is liquid cooled, so it can spin up to 7500 rpm for a long time without overheating.

Representatives of the fair sex will be comfortable driving it even among densely spaced traffic on the road.

Of course, its advantage is its resistance to any knockovers and scratches. The engine, with reasonable power, seems durable, so all indications are that the CRF 450L could be an interesting choice.

Honda CRF 250L / 250L Rally

Honda CRF 250L / 250L Rally

While the CRF 450 may actually be too big or too powerful for beginner riders, the Honda CRF 250 in both versions is the perfect solution. The motorcycle is quite tall. You have to plant your foot firmly to sit on it, but once you're seated the moto sits solidly and contact with the ground feels good at a moderate increase. CRF 250L is a “good donkey”. He will take you wherever you want and do everything right. For long distances it is better to choose the Rally version - it has much better wind protection. Plus it looks very professional!

Keep up with the times with Harley-Davidson

The most popular and even iconic American manufacturer also managed to intrigue fans with new bikes. In addition to the Pan America mentioned above, other models also deserve attention.

• Bronx is a roadster with a 975 cc engine and 115 horsepower. The manufacturer focuses on a bold appearance, which hides uncompromising handling. The motorcycle is planned to roll off the assembly line at the end of 2021.

So we look forward to market growth and further development of our favorite brands.

BMW F/G 650GS

BMW F/G 650GS

Everything about this bike is subject to one principle: high quality, but inexpensive. Also, driving the little GS will bring many pleasant surprises. You won't spend too much money on fuel. With a quiet ride, gasoline consumption will be no more than 3.8 l/100 km. Of course, the G 650GS can pass for a universal machine, however, on one condition: you don’t ask too much of it. Especially when racing on the track. The motorcycle is single-cylinder, engine capacity 650 cc. cm, with a limited appetite for fuel, it won’t go anywhere from under your “ass”.

If you want more excitement from a motorcycle, you won't be disappointed. This Yamaha doesn't have many weak points.

Rating of the best motorcycles for girls

Yamaha XJ6/XJ 600

Yamaha XJ6/XJ 600

The Yamaha XJ6 has always been the ideal motorcycle for women - in principle, it does not matter what year of manufacture we are talking about. This is evidenced, first of all, by the analysis of sales of the XJ6: it is mainly women who buy it, and, by the way, thinking about them, Yamaha introduced a version with a low seat in 2013. Yamaha delivers power in a calm and tangible way. As a result, it's ideal for beginner bikers and people who don't want to leave the handlebars when they step on the gas. This is first and foremost a serious and uncomplicated motorcycle that gives you a lot of possibilities, but on the other hand it is extremely predictable, and this can be a huge advantage for you. In addition, it also comes in a Diversion version, that is, with a windshield that makes it more of a touring motorcycle - with the same qualities that we mentioned in the context of its use by the fair sex!

Kawasaki Ninja 250R/300R

Kawasaki Ninja 250R/300R

From a distance it looks like a racing car. This impression does not disappear as we approach the motorcycle. It's only when we start to carefully analyze the details of the Ninja 250R's anatomy that we realize we're dealing with a small motorcycle. Luckily, this isn't a small bike that's trying to pretend to be something it's not. This bike is for beginners and for those who don't care about incredible performance.

When driving on flat terrain, the Kawasaki Ninja 250's combustion should hover around 2.5L/100km. When driving aggressively, consumption should not exceed 4 l/100 km. The city's focus is on good amenities. The 250R has a tight turning radius. This, combined with the light weight and low seat height, makes every novice rider quickly warm to this motorcycle. Plus, if you're looking for an efficient, fuel-efficient bike for city riding, you won't be disappointed. Over time, Kawasaki increased the capacity to 300cc. cm, due to which the maximum power increased slightly. It was definitely a successful operation because the 250 alone could be quite nice to drive (also on the road). We also know of cases where the Ninja 250R turned the heads of many advanced bikers, and one of them, after not very long time, “landed” on this bike on the track! Fun guaranteed!

The best motorcycles with a medium internal combustion engine for girls

This rating category represents motorcycles with an engine capacity of 500-650 cm3. Vehicles with such characteristics can reach speeds of up to 180 km/h and are suitable for long trips. But the girl’s driver already needs some experience to handle a lot of horsepower.

Suzuki SV650 ABS (SV650A)

Rating: 4.9

Among the best ratings in this category, the first place is taken by a representative from the Suzuki brand. The SV650 motorcycle has been produced by the Japanese company for a long time and has received many positive reviews. It is praised for its low maintenance and availability of spare parts. If a girl plans to use the motorcycle for many years, then parts for it can be found in any city. When manufacturing the engine for this motorcycle, we used our own SCEM cylinder coating technology. It consists of silicone, silicon and nickel, which promotes accelerated heat dissipation. This is very useful, since the volume of 650 cm³ produces 76 hp. But let’s note the saddle height – 850 mm, which is suitable only for tall girls.

This bike makes it to the top list because of its dual throttle body. When a girl squeezes the throttle, one channel opens for air to pass through. The second is regulated by an electronic control unit, and the air supply is based on engine speed. This way the motor maintains proper operation at any speed. This is especially practical for a newbie girl.

Advantages

• pleasant engine sound;
• smooth traction from the lowest revs;
• sufficient reliability;
• very common model - easy to get spare parts;
• cylinder coating with improved heat transfer.

Flaws

• it is necessary to monitor the oil level (the engine wears out quickly when starved of oil);
• not suitable for driving on the rear wheel (the crankshaft and bearings deteriorate);
• the simplest braking system;
• not the best suspension.

Yamaha XJ6

Rating: 4.8

Our rating continues with the Japanese motorcycle Yamaha XJ6. It is equipped with an engine with four cylinders arranged in one row. The injection is controlled electronically. The engine capacity is 600 cm³, which allows it to produce 77.5 hp. The maximum torque of the power plant reaches 8000 rpm. As can be seen from the given characteristics, this is a motorcycle for those girls who love speed. The power unit is taken from the YZF-R6 sports model and slightly derated for safety. The fuel supply in the 17 liter tank allows you to use the bike over long distances. The front suspension contains an adjustable monoshock absorber. Its 130 mm stroke ensures smooth overcoming of obstacles. Owners in the reviews like the presence of two discs at the front of the brake system, which increases the reliability of operation. There is also ABS installed as standard, which helps control braking.

We have ranked the bike as the best because it has a saddle height of 785mm. This is one of the smallest bikes among bikes that don't look like mopeds, and is suitable for a fragile, small girl who wants to keep up with the guys on cool equipment.

Advantages

• large fuel reserve in the tank - 17 liters;
• high power 77.5 hp;
• stable tires with a width of 120 and 160 mm;
• good for highway and city use;
• Beautiful design.

Flaws

• high price;
• weight 211 kg is less convenient for girls;
• thin throttle handle.

Suzuki V-Strom 250

Suzuki V-Strom 250 2018

We can't forget about this motorcycle! True, there are few motorcycles of this type on our roads, but the sweet “Minion” is a truly universal motorcycle. The two-cylinder engine delivers good performance, combustion is within normal limits for this capacity, and the machine is quite playful on the road! Plus, it's comfortable—seriously! Covering five hundred kilometers in one day should not cause insanity or three-letter problems. You can easily handle it even if you are not a racer!
