    I am selling my cruiser and am planning on buying a street bike (bullet). I would like to know what are some adventages of doing this and what are some disadvantages. Also to whoever knows about these motorcycles, what would be a good inexpensive one that would fit me. I mean I am kind of short and feel a little insecure when both my feet don't reach the ground.m I know its doable but id like to get some info. Thanks. Also where is the best place to put my motorcycle for sale.

    I would recommend a Suzuki SV650. In general, you want to know your pant inseam. Here is a link for all major bikes and their seat height. http://motorcycles.about.com/od/basi...eatheights.htm

    Feet on the ground is important for confidence from a new rider, regardless of experience level when a "new to them" bike is invovled. The SV650N is a standard bike with a street bike look. The SV650S has lowered clip-ons for handlebars to get it behind the stock fairing. You can also get a deal on it used. Plenty of aftermarket parts if you want to trick it out. New bike I might suggest Kawasaki Ninja 650R. That has a much more sporty setup in the looks department, but has a standard set up as well.

    How big is your inseam? I might suggest another bike based on that. How long have you been riding? Most street bikes/bullet style are at the 31" seat height. Is that too tall for you? I can give more suggestions if you have a bike you have to have. Just update this or PM.
