Looking to buy an older beginner bike for the wife!
#24
Here is the solution I decided on for my new rider bike - V Star 250. My gal is 5'3", and I wanted to make sure I got her something she could easily handle, push around, and not be in any way intimidated by. It has a 27 in. seat height, the bike weighs 320 or so lbs., and a very nice, fun, torquey power with that v-twin sound. Big Grin I can't control how she rides, or the idiots out there on the road, but I can buy new to make sure the equipment is not going to be any issue.

And if she "outgrows" it, mazel tov! I'll be happy to trade up in that eventuality.

Hmm, I tried to post a pic, and apparently too dumb to figure out how...Huh Ok, got it. File was to big or whatever...
