    the make and model is of your preference, but, the most important thing here is,the way the bike feels to you while sitting on it and riding it. most folks purchase them without really checking the feel of the bike !

    Most bikes over 125cc will get you to speed, however, you will not be comfy. What type of bike do you like? The more cc's the easier the bike will be to handle and get to speed. I am a big guy and I have went with over 900 for along time starting with a KZ900 Kow. I now have a 1200cc Harley and it is comfy and gets up and goes when I need it to. good luck

    Most bikes 250 cc and up will reach 75 mph.
    As far as which bike you should get, that all depends on what type of bike you're looking at ( sport, standard, cruiser,etc ). The only thing I would recommend is to go to some bike dealers and sit on a few bikes. See which bike feels the most comfortable to your physique ( not just the handlebars but also the location of the foot pegs, the switches, etc. ).

    But before you buy a bike, take a MSF course and buy all your riding gear before you start riding on the road.
