Mine's about 300-350ccs? LOL

 

Here's a picture of my ex last summer on my bike, she doesn't ride but I always thought she would look good if she did.

here's my girl, she's been riding since Oct. '07.......she's getting really good on it . she took the MSF class and i helped her from there...well, here's her pride and joy, her '01 F4i.........

 

No gloves, no love

 

fordtough....You should look for an 07 cbr 600RR. they made them in white and they look pretty good. Your girl looks good on your 1000RR too. A 600RR would be perfect for her..

jaynd.. looking good. Its a pretty good feeling once they get good enough that your not constantly looking in the mirrors at them to make sure they are ok. My wife is getting good too.. But its that scary point that she is comfortable. You know the old saying, the most dangerous time to be a rider is when you get comfortable.. you get too relaxed..

 

^ what scares me is that my g/f is 5' tall and her bike is lowerd. when i take it out, the exhause manifold scrapes all day long in the turns. she's yet to hit it, yet she's getting more and more comfortable in the turns. it scares me, that one day i'll look in my mirror and she'll be cornering and the bike just isnt going to lean anymore b/c the manifold is scraping.......THAT scares me! i told her, and try to keep it in her head, that she has to understand that at some point, the bike just isnt going to lean anymore so she has to be careful. but i think she sorta holds back a bit b/c she knows that.......idk.

 

Yeah I hear ya. My wife is 5 foot 3 inches tall so I had to lower her bike 2 inches in the rear and 1 inch in the front. I also took about 2 inches of foam out of the seat..( those ninja's actaully have foam in their seats...) Her bike definately has less cornering ability now. Like your gf, my wife is pretty tame on the corners, but she is getting better. I really don't think the chicken strips could be taken off now without the fairing hitting.

It cracks me up when people say they lowered their bike for better handling. As long as you only go in straight line... I guess its better....lol
