I imagine if you wear it to market people will give you a wide berth? Just don’t fall, who knows when you’ll stop bouncing?

I know jealousy when I sense it.

Don't take any notice of them - I think it looks great, really accentuates your figure :)

or maybe even the Monkey bike... same engine etc

They both look like a lot of fun...

NO question which one I would pick, The monkey bike has that retro-cool charm thing going on, plus it's a Honda :)

Ok I just noticed they're both Hondas, but the MX125 just looks like so many others being made today, and the monkey bike has character. You know you've got the right bike when upon arriving at your destination you do that 'last look' as you walk away :)

Pit bike types with short wheelbase and tiddly wheels are the ideal recipe if you want to get tossed under a truck.

I’m with you, if you’re going to ride with the traffic, you need something big enough to claim your lane. A girl I know bought a Honda Rebel 250 twin. I rode it, and it is tiny! I could barely get on it! But I realize it was made for smaller people. But it also felt weak, I’d hate to have to deal with real traffic on that thing.

Smaller people riding large bikes is perfectly possible, it just takes a bit of leg strength and a good bit of confidence. A biking mate of mine around 1980 had some pretty big bikes, two Honda CBX1000s and a GSX1100. And he was only 5'4". At lights the bike was tilted over quite a bit, right foot on the floor. When the lights changed he just put it into gear, and the bike picked itself up. As far as I know he never dropped it.

Ithink small women riding full sized sports bikes look pretty cool, although you don't see it often. So much cooler than a huge bloke riding a bike that's too small for him, with the bike looking ready to be swallowed up his arse. :(

That’s the truth! Seeing some huge guy on a moped is comedy! I recall way back when I was still married, my ex would sit on my bike, the black and silver Harley, and declare there was no way she could ride it. She couldn’t pick it up! And I informed her that I couldn’t pick it up either. That sucker weighs 850lbs dry. So what’s the difference? And then we went to a motorcycle rally in Richmond, and there were tiny women riding huge Harleys! The Softails and 883’s, some with lowered shocks, and even the Road King, has a very short seat height (mine is 26” I think) compared to most bikes, and little women who didn’t weigh 110 pounds and 5’4”, were wheeling those big bikes around like nothing! Most impressive to watch.
