Default First Bike ( I know there are tons of these)

But before I go aimlessly looking, I would like some direction. Im 5'9 on a good day and 155lbs. I was looking @ 250r's, but any other advice would be good.. I believe my inseem is 30/31... so suggestions on a bike to where I can still touch the ground :D

You should be able to touch the ground easily on most street bikes.

I know for sure the Honda Nighthawk 250 and Kawasaki Vulcan 500 would work for you. You should be able to find seat height info for most other bikes online.

Depends what kind of riding you plan on doing... sport bikes are lower, dual sports are higher riding
