Default Wife wants a bike Too!

&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
Ok I now own my first real bike&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;as all the other bikes that I have owned up till now have been fake bikes.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
Now the wife is jelous and wants one too, but I think she is going to get a fake bike if she gets a bike hence me , buying her a bike.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
So,, what kind of used fake bike is the wife going to get...&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; She has not rode for 10 years and is in her mid 30's and somthins small reliable but not to small,, leaning towards a 1984 shadow 550 any&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;other&nbsp\\;\\\\ \\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;suggestions welcome
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

Sportsters aren't the easiest of bikes for beginners to ride, but it can be done.

When my dads harley isn't running, I ride the virago 250 he bought for my stepmom to learn on.&nbsp\\; No complaints about that one really, cept for me being 6'3" and 245 lbs.

The Virago 250 V-Twin is a great little bike, looks and sounds good, and will cruise at 75 MPH all day long.&nbsp\\; Friend has one, and it's great fun to ride.&nbsp\\;

Yup, it's for sure not an off the line bike, but it'll cruise right along with my dads roadstar. Went to eat one night and spent about 35 minutes on the interstate and didn't have a problem.

Get her out and let her ride a bunch of different bikes. You"ll be able to tell which one is best for her when she pulls back into the lot by the look on her face.
