Women Can Learn to Ride a Motorcycle

Many women have expressed the desire to learn to ride a motorcycle these days. It seems more and more female riders have been taking up the sport recently, and for good reason. Riding a motorcycle provides a thrill that is difficult to describe in words--you simply have to try it yourself to understand it. Learning to ride a motorcycle is not just limited to "the boys" any longer; it's now very common to see female riders cruising down the highway or carving through twisting canyon roads.
However, female motorcyclists do face certain challenges when it comes to choosing an appropriate motorcycle to ride. Most motorcycle manufacturers design motorcycles for riders who are around 5'10" tall, which would generally be very tall for a woman. Female riders are statistically shorter than men, so they require a motorcycle that has a lower seat height. Not only that, the seat should be a little more narrow as well, to let the female rider reach the ground completely with both her feet.
