| Hello. I am 5'4" 140 lbs looking to purchase my first bike. I have read several comments from Rebel riders that are 5'10" and up, but would like your opinion on how someone of my height would be able to handle this bike.

| Your size would be perfect for this bike. My wife rode one for awhile and is your same size. She LOVED it!!!

| I think this would be a good fit. It's a light bike, which makes it easy to handle. On top of that...it's extremly forgiving. It'll allow you to make a few minor errors that on other bikes would result with you on the ground. I'd give it a go.

| The Rebel is a real kick to ride. It's so light and responsive that bigger bikes seem sluggish after riding it(I also have a Magna 750). Riders taller than 5'8" will probably feel cramped on longer rides but at 5'4", 140 lbs. the Rebel should be a perfect fit for you. Be glad that you don't need to spend thousands more for a bigger bike to be comfortable. Enjoy it!

| I am 5'3" and weigh 124lbs. I have rode my 2005 Rebel for 3 yrs now. It was a wonderful 1st bike. My husband rides a 1750 Warrior now I didn't keep up with him but we just rode together. I also rode on the highway. All I could get out of it was about 72 mph, but was fast enough for me! I got my money out of the Rebel. I have since upgraded to a bigger bike..but my Rebel is still in the garage...Just can't seem to part with it yet..
