So, I got a new slim a few month ago I have been riding about 10 years my wife now according to my plans has decided to take the safety course and get her a bike. She has only rode once in her life but insists on getting a HD. What would be a good bike for her to get used as a first bike that would allow her to keep up with me. Not saying I am some awsome rider or anything I just want her to be comfortable on the 4 hour rides i do on the weekends plus she has bad knees and do not want her to have problems with the weight of the bike.

 

HD Freewheeler.....her bad knees will be an issue on 2-wheels.

 

 

 

 

 

I say her knees are bad i can hear them grind at times EX college basketball player she is. She is tall 5'10 with a 34" inseam she looked like a spider on my bike im 5'11 with a 29 inch inseam, I was thinking a sportster and she likes alot of chrome unlike me.

 

At 5'10", she is big enough for a Softail. Which ever model suits her tastes.

 

 

the "street 750" is a GOOD bike, and you can get one cheap, and then if she don't ride, you can only lose so much $$ on the deal.

i would never buy a sportster for a woman/girl, complicated to explain, but lots of wrong ergonomics there.

another SLIM would be your best bet, if your wallet allows it.
