Will the Ronin be too heavy for me (57 kg)? Buying my first bike as a beginner.
Buying my first bike soon. I'm 5'7" 57 kg male. For practice I have borrowed my neighbors Splendor (110kg) for a week. Been practicing some drills like U turns and riding with a pilion for ~ 5km low traffic stretches. Handled it well so far but with pilion - starts and low speed L turns had few balancing issues (not dropped it yet, rarely stalled). Will have this bike for 3 more days.
My current options after shortlisting- Honda Hornet 125 (124 kg, smaller turning radius but can't completely flat foot) or Ronin 225 base model (can flatfoot but 159 kg and large turning radius).
So would the Ronin be a good buy for a 57kg beginner or should I stick to the lighter 125 Hornet with a smaller turning radius?
