Well i'm *thinking* about looking into buying a crotch rocket... What size bike would fit me the best, i'm about 5'6 and 115lbs. I don't know whats too big for me, and I don't wanna buy something that I can't control or manuever well. All input would be great thanks.

If you don't know how to ride a bike i recommend for you to start low, you should be good with a 600 i highly recommend a suzuki gsxr 600 you can't go wrong with gixers bro you'll be happy with it trust me.

is image what you're concerned about?....if sol, a sport bike will suit you well, sport bikes are designed for people your size, you don't have to be too tall. maybe that's why you don't see those big harley dudes on crotch rockets, it just doesn't look right. :weird: ...take it a step at a time, practice on a 250-500cc, when ur ready, try out a sport 600cc, and if you like it, buy one. i recommend:gixxer 600, cbr 600 f4i, yamaha r6. these are the top 3 competitors at the moment, not beginner bikes but after a little practice, will suit you well.

No bike is too big its all in how you ride it i have a friend who is 5ft 3inches like 105 pounds he rides a GSXR 750 and handles it fine. But first bike i would recomend a 600cc, not to big but big enugh for when you get confedent you can still do the crazy shit thats fun!! Good luck.
