Same situation. After college wife inherited a bike from a friend, a 125cc hot rod, lots of fun for a while but her interest waned. She rode pillion with me occasionally for a couple of decades. I bought a Triumph around 2003 and she saw, and bought, a BMW CS650 they had sitting there used. Took the MSF course and started riding again but never got comfortable on the bike and rarely rode it.
Couple of years later we were at a bike show and she saw a Can-Am. Checked it out, went to the dealership and spent some time there. Test drive or two -each- and bought one for her. Superb dealer, fair price. Took her seriously and dealt directly with her, answered all her questions. Taylorsville NC, not the closest to me but the kind of place I wanted to do business with.
Excellent machine.
She rides with me a lot these days, loves three wheels and the engineering on the Can-Am is far far ahead of some other trikes. I have ridden it but it honestly doesn't trip my trigger. I see a fair number on the road around here. A viable option.
I know you can rent them out west, in Austin TX and Las Vegas.
No regrets.
Me, I bought a sidecar rig.
