Finally! Most popular bikes among women motorcycle riders. Find out them in our article. If you came to this page, you would probably like to ask - "what are the best motorcycles for women?" In fact, there are no special motorcycles in the world designed exclusively for women, and there is no list of their best examples. But there are such devices that are more popular with most women who choose a two-wheeled friend for themselves, and this is exactly what people are interested in.
Using our observations and advice from our readers over the past 6 years, we have created a list of the iron horses most preferred by the weaker sex. As the definitive source of information for female motorcyclists who regularly use bikes on real-world roads, we are confident that our list represents the hottest ladies' favorite preferences today.
1. Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 SuperLow
Harley Davidson introduced the Sportster 883 Superlow in 2011, a model designated XL883L. It replaces an earlier version with the same designation, where L stands for low - low. Both are incredibly popular with women. These bikes have long been part of Harley-Davidson's minimum-configuration lineup, and since this renowned manufacturer controls the lion's share of the women's bike market and women are the fastest growing segment of novice riders, it's pretty clear why a Harley with this model is worth it. today in our list of popularity in the first place.
2. Star Motorcycles V Star Custom / Classic (650)
V Star Custom and V Star Classic have been present in Star Motorcycles, Yamaha's cruiser division, continuously since 1997. This platform offers what most women prefer in motorcycles: a low seat height, a low center of gravity, a powerful engine with quite handy dimensions and comfort. The difference between the two is in style. There are women who, when purchasing such a motorcycle for the first time, never change it to something larger after that, and at the same time, others prefer it instead of the original version with a volume of 250 cubes. The Classic was discontinued in 2011. In 2012, the V Star 650 was brought to the attention of buyers, and in the following 2013 this popular model returned to the market as a Custom. Our author Sash Walker prefers to ride the V Star Classic. Both Classic and Custom are usually called simply V Star 650. And, by the way, there is no hyphen in this name officially.
3. Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom
Harley Davidson has produced several different versions of the Sportster 1200 Custom over the past few years. Many women ride the newer 1200 Custom, while just as many opt for the 1200L from yesteryear. With Harley as the leading brand in women’s popularity, it’s not surprising that the Sportster 1200 sits closer to the top of our charts.
4. Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe
The Softail Deluxe is the first motorcycle on the women's list to be considered a heavyweight and is the adult Harley Davidson model of choice for women as a road companion. She is "grown up" because her cars are powered by a large 1690cc Harley Davidson V2 engine. cm (or 103 cubic inches, so it is also customary to designate it). It's no coincidence that the Softail Deluxe is the most popular “over-average” bike on our list: its extremely low seat at 62cm height and low center of gravity gives experienced female riders the ability to drive a more powerful machine that can handle it with ease and comfort. with multi-day transfers from place to place.
5. Star Motorcycles V Star 950
The V Star 950 is fifth on our popularity list. Thus motorcycles Star Motorcycles are on the second line of the charts (right after Harley) in the category of "people's love" among the female audience. The V Star 950 is a strong contender for the middleweight title. Differs in all-round development and can serve as both an urban cruiser and, with proper equipment, a tourist stallion.
6. Honda Shadow Spirit 750 C2
Do not be surprised at the appearance of this Honda model in the top ten, because this is the motorcycle that cannot be dispensed with when mentioning women's preferences in the field of motorcycle construction. Among them, he was highly revered and they gave their hearts to him for decades. I even started my motorcycle life with one of these Shadows, a 1982 500cc model, so I can vouch for its "intelligibility" for women. The Shadow Spirit 750 C2 is effective at bridging the gap between seasoned riders and their budding female friends. This is why so many mid-range riders love this comfortable low-seat cruiser.
7. Kawasaki Ninja 250/300
Since our list covers the results of observations (both ours and readers') over several years, therefore both Kawasaki Ninja 250 and Kawasaki Ninja 300 models are equally mentioned in it and share 7th place among themselves. The Ninja 250 has long been a top choice for female beginners looking for a sporty bike. In 2013, Kawasaki refreshed its hit 250, releasing a completely new version of the 300cc, while retaining all the generic characteristics of its predecessor that instilled confidence in its owners and made this model a best-seller among female customers.
8. Harley-Davidson Street Glide
It is a fact that the overwhelming majority of female motorcyclists ride middleweights, and therefore it is no coincidence that it is the middleweight, the sales champion for the last 5 years, that is included in the Top 10 Motorcycles Loved by Women. Since its introduction in 2006, the Harley-Davidson Street Glide has been and remains the most popular of all categories of female rider. He is the reason for the wild popularity of custom-made baggers with long, elongated, flowing wardrobe trunks style. As soon as we found out that it was quite low (or could easily become so by modifying the seat and suspension), all the experienced female motorcyclists among us immediately wanted to enjoy its comfort (and coolness too!). And in their ranks the author of these lines.
9. Kawasaki Vulcan 900
Readers did not specify which model they had in mind, Custom, Classic or Classic LT, which differ from each other mainly in the variability of style and comfort of the same base motorcycle. Either way, it's nice to see the Kawasaki middleweight on our list. In the end, it goes head to head with the Star 950 and Sportster 883 SuperLow in engine size. Can you guess a certain trend in women's preferences? In our review of this bike, we celebrate its fighting spirit of a large bike and yet an easy-to-master physique.
10. Star Motorcycles V Star 250
We are pleased to find on our list what is commonly referred to as a motorcycle for beginners. It is because of such models that we observe a jump in the number of women motorcycle lovers, since they (and this model with 250 cc is an excellent example of this) they choose as a starting option. Although we do not support the idea of riding without a proper motorcycle jacket, let alone cutting with an unbuttoned shirt like this woman in the photo, this woman is an example of a new generation of motorcyclists, women under 35, who are starting to passionately engage in our business and seeking an opportunity to express themselves fully by driving a two-wheeled creature. They opt for a lightweight, easy-to-handle bike like the V Star 250 that allows them to enjoy the lifestyle of a motorcycle lady without irreparably damaging their owner's wallet.
