2019 Iron 883 Top Speed
Bigger doesn't always mean better, and fortunately for those of us looking for a fun, affordable motorcycle there are more choices than ever. Nearly every manufacturer now offers at least one model that will fit just about any rider's size and/or budget.
Scroll down for Rider's 2019 list of Best Bikes for Smaller Riders and Budgets. When possible we've included a link to our review, making it easy for you to get a real ride evaluation. We've also included the 2019 model year's U.S. base MSRP (as of publication), seat height and claimed wet weight (when a wet weight was not available from the manufacturer, the claimed dry weight is listed). For more details, you can read our review, which includes comprehensive specs, or click on the bike's name to be taken directly to the manufacturer's page.
