Wife rode my Gixxer for the first time.
Didnt get any pics, but she rode it up and down our street a few time. She probably never went over 20mph. I was actually impressed with how she handled the bike. I was very nervous about her taking it out, but I flipped in into C mode and I knew she wasn't going to go over the 25mph speed limit on our street.
She thought my bike was uncomfortable and complained that she couldn't see her feet when riding...... Uh no shit and you need to keep your eye on the road not your shoes anyway. LOL Last edited by Rider; 08-04-2008 at 11:53 AM.. |

YAYYYYYYY!!! Good for her!!!
well did she take her MSF on a cruiser? If she did, and her feet were out in front of her, she probably just got accustomed to looking for the pegs to make sure she was on them fully. I'm sure with a bit more time on a sportbike, she'd outgrow that. I still think you need to get her a new Ninja 250!! |

I have NO idea what/where the foot positioning is on those.

My wife can barely touch the ground on my Kat and it's far too heavy for her to feel comfortable on it if she could. She was barely able to even touch on a Gix 600 so when/if she decides to take the leap it won't be on anything of that nature..LOL.
Congrats to your wife, she's now hooked

Didn't know the 750's came with the power modes like the 1k. Cool.
