Re: Two up?
Have you thought about a 650 V strom? My wife says it's the most comfortable bike she's been on - and you've still got that glorious engine.

Re: Two up?
Height is an issue so anything trailie is off the table.
Got to get her hooked then move onto such things I think. Sent from my KIW-L21 using Tapatalk

Also with trailie bikes being overall larger in general, the perception of being "high up" is probably reduced as you're more "in" the bike rather than perched on top. In terms of getting on, do it like a horse - one foot in the stirrup first and watch out for the exhaust. Try one in a showroom and see how she feels.

Re: Two up?
I have to agree, the pillion seat on these is very comfortable. My lad has one.

Re: Two up?
I agree with pretty much everything above but it's a perception thing. I'm better to go with something she's comfortable with and then build from there.

Re: Two up?
Does she like chrome & leather? This could go downhill, you know
(so do their bikes... usually)
