best 250 automatic motorcycle?
what is the best 250cc (200-400cc) automatic motorcycle? something short preferably, its for a short female friend of mine. a semi auto street legal bike works too. a manual is not going to though. and street legal is a key point. thanks, for the input in advance! finding something is harder than i thought.

Buy an ELECTRIC!
Purchase an electric, battery powered, motorcycle. They have street and dirt bike versions of different sizes and weights.
No need to WORRY about SHIFTING. Just turn the throttle and you go. Concentrate on the view and the ride. |

If a scooter model is acceptable . . the Honda Helix (and clones) have a 26.2" seat height.
The CF Moto V3 and V5 seat height is around 28". |

Wow, I'm sorry I missed this thread. Since last fall, I acquired two CFMoto V5s (one is actually a Qlink Legacy, but same thing). My 5'0" fiancee is enjoying riding hers; it's her very first motorcycle experience, aside from riding on the back of her mother's little bike as a kid. She was intimidated enough by the idea of riding on the street, without the additional stress of figuring out shifting. The bike has been a huge boost in confidence for her, and although she's still not ready to try a clutch, she does aspire to riding something more traditional in the future. If I had thrown a manual bike at her at the beginning, she would not still be riding.
