I've always wanted one. I'm a girl (as if that matters) I'm 5'6 165lbs and I've ridden dirt bikes, fourwheelers, mini bikes, and jet skiis since I was a little kid. I want to know a good one to start off with, of course it will be used a bike but still. Any suggestions? Thanks
Ahhh, I've been looking at the cbr's and ninjas. I really like the cbr 600s but I think that's a little big to start off with.

"how tall is important blah blah flat footed" this person is a top contributor somehow but doesn't realize that they make lowering kits for just about every motorcycle on the market. hmm...
so yeah... figure out what STYLE of bike you want, then go from there. technically all non dirt bikes are street bikes... cruisers, sport bikes, sport touring, all street bikes. figure out which of those you want, then re-ask the question.
most people say ninja 250... no..... they are good bikes, but usually people buy them and a month later sell them because they aren't powerful enough and they out grow them.
if you're going to ride a sport bike, go with a 500, 600,650, or whatever they have in the model you want. then pay someone to LOWER it to fit you.
i say this because, like i said, people outgrow 250's pretty much immediately and regret not having spent a few hundred more for something that won't get you killed entering the freeway because it doesn't have enough power to pass at highway speeds.
Most people are telling you to get a 250 because you're a girl. that's just the honest truth. ignore that crap and go for at LEAST a 500. you'll thank me one of these days.
with that said, Katana's are comfortable, GSX-R are fast and handle like crazy, then there are about a dozen cruisers to choose from... Kawasaki Vulcan, Honda Rebel, Honda Shadow, Yamaha makes a bunch of them, etc.
there are SEVERAL women around here around your size or smaller who ride full sized bikes... harley's, honda shadows, V-stars, GSX-R1000's, BMW S1000RR's you name it.. size doesn't matter, age doesn't matter, physical strength matters no matter what you're riding, big or small, and mental capacity and FOCUS matter most. if you have FOCUS, you can ride anything... i.e. if you are scatterbrained and ADHD all to hell, i don't suggest getting a bike, you'll end up wrecking it.

Answer
Go for a mountain bike, MTB. Cool, tough, versatile.
Cheap? That get's a bit complicated.
Use the internet to educate yourself about MTBs. Then shop garage sales, flea markets, craigslist, whereever.
As a general rule, the most expensive bikes, tho not necessarily the best, will be at your local bike shop. There you get a lot of service before an after the sale.
Shop the box stores. Target may have the edge on Walmart for quality, a term used loosely for box store bikes. But, they are relatively cheap up front, and if you know what you're doing, might work out ok.
The internet is loaded with MTB shops. Look them over. You'll have to finish assembly and figure in shipping cost.
