Hey man,
You'll have to come up to the NW and visit us up here. I'm hoping more riders out of the westcoast come out of the wood-work. Great to have you around! Also about the reviews.... did you happen to check this one out?
"....After living with these bikes for awhile, we'd choose either the Yamaha Virago or Suzuki GZ250. Both of these bikes were rated highly by the testers and offer the widest pallet of options for riding skills development. Smaller riders may want to consider the Rebel. The compact package that confounded the long-legged set make the Honda a good choice for petite folks."
