That bike is definitely too big for you. How about a CBR F4i? Its not ugly, and not slow. Decent starter bike as well.
Dk were u been hit me up hoe.
Try a Kawasaki ZX6E (older bike)
An 01-03 gsxr600 would be good. My buddy's sister started on one of those and she's 5'1. Just lower it a lil bit.
Way too much power for a beginner. Like all race-replica sportbikes, a ZX-6R is a much more difficult bike to learn to ride well. An ideal bike would be a 500cc bike (Suzuki GS500F or Kawasaki EX-500) or smaller.
The Suzuki SV-650 or Kawasaki Ninja 650R are also acceptable as first bikes... but you'd better take a beginner's riding course or something before you swing a leg over one of them.
As for used bikes....
Craigslist, cycle trader (including the cycle trader website), and local motorcycle message boards/forums are the way to go.
Dk and Stay_up when are we gonna ride out ive been riding all around atlanta and i have yet to see either of you guys.

Give my fiance' a call, she works at a Kawasaki Dealership. She can give you a little advice regarding the ZX-6R
How often do you go to the mountains Gixxerdk? What happend to Stay_up's bike?

a ninja 600 would be aight
i dont know about the zx6r i have seen two of them come to my shop to get fixed after being dropped both riders never ridden before and it was there first bike one bike only had 7 miles on it and the other had a little over 400 on it
hahaha exactly what I'm looking for.....keep'em cheap for me
i just rode th new zx6 today at erinns work... deff. an awesome bike. great ride height, not too much power but enough to be able to handle and keep control of. icouldnt find anything to complain about. have you actually gone up and sat on one and rode one?
that kawi is an awesome bike, iam torn between that bike and an 06-07 r6. ive been riding for 2 years man and one thing i know is, dont buy a brand new bike for your first bike. because your gonna lay it down, prob just loosing balance at low speeds, but still heres just my 2 cents: get a used bike, either an sv650s (what i own) or a cbr600f4i. the sv's are awesome, super light weight, super torque, plus cheap. look on craigslist.com under motorcycles. youd be surprised how cheap some people sell some nice bikes.
