Okay, so I look at the Spyder as a stepping stone...now I want a motorcycle. I'm going to keep my Spyder but I've decided I'd like a motorcycle as well, so I have more options and when the spyder is having maintenence or whatever I'll still have a ride besides my car.

Since I'm petite I've narrowed it down to three bikes that will be suitable given my size: Honda Rebel, Lowered 250 Ninja, or a Buell Blast. What are the pros and cons of these bikes? I looked and read that all are good for a first time rider, but I don't know if they are known for certain issues.
