The Wife and Motorcycle - Part 2

[triangleforge]

Check out the latest issue of Motorcyclist.  They review a 125cc sport bike from Taiwan that looks like it would fit a petite woman, if the size of the reviewer is any indication.

The bike's by Kymco, a Taiwanese company that's already got a big presence in the US with motor scooters. But if I recall correctly, the MotorCyclist review thought the standover height on the bike was much taller than expected for a bike that's aimed at small, beginning riders.

Worth checking out, though.

Thanks twistedchick, triangle, and orange.  Great feedbacks!  We have been very mindful of the seat height of the bikes we are considering.  The "fear of height" seems to be the #1 concern.  The Kymco Quannon? is a possibility that we didn't know of.  Worth a look.  We will see how that compare to a Ninja250.

The Wife is signed up to a motorcycle safety course for Aug 19 (classroom) and 21-22 (riding range).  She is going with a friend of ours so she wouldn't feel all lonely and out of place.  If all goes well, I will have 2 new riding buddies!

Will update you with Part 3
