Hi All,

Thought the subject line would get some attention - apologies for the false advertising - but the first bit is true, honest :p

I have a Strom650 and and am very fortunate that my wife enjoys the motorcycle scene.

We have been talking about her getting her own bike for bout 6 months now, but need some advice.

My wife is not that tall - bout 1.6 metres

The way I see it is that we have 2 options

1.) Get her a cheapy import and let her get used to a small light bike before upgrading to something a bit bigger - means we will have to resell the initial purchase

2.) Buy a decent bike once off - and start in the deep end.

She hasn't ridden a bike since she was 19, bout a decade ago

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers
Chris
