Crawl along at 1.5 MPH on a trail, or even off road dirt biking has risks.
Usually you are in control of the bike / jeep, and aware of where you are in space and time.

Much different on the road.

Get her a bike if she wants one, but just be aware that she may be the best rider known, and practicing everything safely, and still turn into a beautiful pink mist when some idiot decides they want to occupy the same space as she does while traveling 75 MPH

View Quote

Do not buy a Honda Rebel 250. It's a glorified moped. It does not have enough power to ride safely on a highway.

Neither does the Shadow 650. It has almost no acceleration above 65.

The Shadow 750 is faster and can get away from silly people on the road when you blip the throttle. I'm not familiar with the Yamaha and Suzuki cruisers, but you should be able to find them in that power range for your price. You might also find a Triumph America in your price range.

All of them are solid bikes with excellent reputations. They're all cruisers and fairly low to the ground, so she'll have no problem at traffic lights.

Anything less than 750cc will lose its appeal on a 75 mile commute.

The SV650s are a solid choice.  Since I'm a Yamaha man, I will suggest the FZ6.

Also, taking a riding class is a great idea before you buy.  I think women who ride are awesome...however, 3 of the 6 women I took a riding class with failed.  One dude laid a Buell blast down twice in practice and still managed to pass, so...yeah.

It's hard not to be sexist sometimes.

About a month ago she laid down the law so to speak and told me what I will be doing this spring or else!


First that I have to get her old car fixed and sell it.

Then use the money to buy a pair of motorcycles and teach her to ride.

It looks like I will have a budget of about $5-6k so I should be able to get something decent enough for us to each ride to work and take on weekend trips (which is her plan, because she thinks taking bikes are the only way that I will actually go)

So what should I be looking for, ohh wise GD basement dwelling experts of all things?

We each have a daily commute of about 70-75 miles round trip, on the state highway and city streets.

Same brand would be nice for ease of maintenance and spare parts.

She is pretty small, but she teaches fitness classes, so as long as she can get leverage she can pick up most bikes.





Ohh and she wants me to shave my beard into mutton chops too.

I've gotta mirror this. I've seen far too many people injured and killed on them. They're great for cruising around on route 66 and other empty highways, but in a city and on a highway? Odds are that she'll end up hamburger. Hell we had one old bastard in our home town who intentionally hit and killed a motorcyclist, and to the judge said "You're goddamn right I hit him!

SV650 for sure

In your price range, bullet proof engines, extremely easy to work on and plentiful parts/knowledge around to fixing them.


Maybe grab a Ninja or CBR 250 for the little lady to learn on the first year...however, if she's a confident woman and knows her boundaries, learning on the SV would be just fine.


IMO, unless you're really into the style and lifestyle of cruisers, don't bother.  They're not ideal commuting bikes...hell, they're really not ideal anything bikes.  Slow, heavy, poor ergonomics, I could go on...

Just got the Grom. Love it. After the new wears off some I'm gonna look into getting a 450 motard. I'm having a lot of fun with this thing right now though and everything is cheap and super easy to work on. This was my first street bike but I've ridden dirtbikes most of my life, so naturally I gravitate towards a motard.

Dan if you can take back roads all the way in like me, I'd highly recommend the Grom if even just for her. My commute is 30 miles one way. Car + interstate = 30 mins. Grom + backroads = 45 minutes. Totally worth it though, and 100+ mpg.

Commute options are 35 miles of interstate or 30 miles of 2 lane state highway. Or 15 miles of state highway and 20 miles of county roads.

That Grom is cool as fuck, but I'm not sure if it will fit her style requirements.

You sound like a lib who advocates for gun control because someone could get hurt with a firearm. Everything we do in life comes with risk. The amount of risk a person chooses to assume is up to them to decide. You mitigate that risk on a bike with training and the proper protective equipment. Arguing that someone not paying attention might hit you is no different than a crack head popping you in the back with a Lorcin .25 auto for your wallet and his next fix. Yeah it could happen, but a defensive posture and situational awareness can prevent most incidents.

Occasional riding is probably more dangerous than commuting daily on a bike. Too many weekend warriors out there that forget how to ride a bike defensively and anticipate what other idiots might do. I've commuted daily on a bike for 4 years now. It's a perishable skill that needs to be practiced to maintain proficiency.

This my wife on her first bike out practicing in the court across from our house,



She got a MotoGuzzi also because she wanted to ride to work every once in a while and she just loved this thing when she saw it at the dealer.



She wrecked the little Kawasaki so I picked up a Husky TE250 to replace her poor little KLX250,  the supermoto conversion kit is on it's way now from Toxic Moto,  ( yes she still likes to ride you pussies )



This is my tard, KTM 525mxc



Whom ever mentioned the DRZ400sm for the OP is on the right track,  they'll do highway at 70mph all day long.   Good reliable bikes.  A little heavy but that's not a bad thing if you are going to spend time on the highway.   For him ( not her ) I'd pass on the DRZ and go right to a plated Yamaha WR450 if you can swing it in your state.   Still a reliable bike with more frequent maintenance intervals ( but not ridiculous ) and you'll love the 50lb less weight and 15 more HP than a DRZ.
