Buy the bike you like best or is the easiest to resell. After a couple of rides she"ll loose interest and you be stuck with the bike. Ask me how I know.
Assuming price is not an issue.Suzuki - for the EFI and brake!And/or whichever she prefers.
::)How do you know? Was mthydro's girlfriend with you before she hooked up with him? :D
At least your wife rode it a couple times. I bought this Vespa (her choice) over a year ago, and she hasn't ridden it yet. She still says she is going to ride it -- got mad at me when I was going to put it up for sale.Anyway --- If she doesn't actually get her MC permit and ride it by June, I'm selling it. >:(
95% of our riding would be on secondary highways (80kmh speed limit). We currently have the option of these 2 bikes:2013 Suzuki TU250X or1975 Honda CB200T.
If it's her bike, why do you get to decide when or why to sell? (Not you mthydro)
Because I paid for it (out of my bike fund), and don't want my money tied up in it if it isn't being ridden.
And Jay, she wasn't really ASKING for you to buy it now was she?Like it wasn't her idea, she didn't find research it and find it and ask for it...right?
I've been trying to teach my gf to drive a manual car for over a year and she still won't really try. She jokes occasionally about getting her own bike but I know she really has zero interest. I probably drive 99.5% of the time no matter if it's across town to dinner or a 12hr drive to Shreveport to see her family Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
^^^This is funny :)At the MSF i took, out of 20 people, there were only 2 who could drive manual transmissions, but they weren't the ones who did best!
Yeah, its fun to see her getting into riding. She's been a passenger on my bikes the past few years, and has really enjoyed it, especially this past summer in the Lake Como area. We are already starting to plan our first trip for this upcoming summer. Trailer the bikes from Toronto to Cape Breton, NS. Ride around the Cabot Trail, ferry over to Newfoundland and ride around that area for a few days. Should be a good time
A friend of mine decided his wife should learn on and ride his 77 Triumph Bonneville, kick start only, he couldn't understand why she had such a hard time starting it. I thought it would turn her off forever to riding but she is very tough and stuck to it and 13 years later she is still riding with thousands of miles, trips to Alaska and Yellow Knife on her R80 which they bought for the trips. To me it made sense to learn on something cheap and Japanese, easy to ride, but my friend hates anything from Japan only British or German would do. In the end it work out .
The TU is a great little bike. Honda Rebel is also a nice first bike. 30,000+ miles on mine, its still one of my favorites. Spouse prefers the TU. It is a little peppier than the Rebel.
