I am 5'6" and had the RG for 3 years... I agree, very different feel to it... kinda costly to change out the bars a few times... if $$$ is not an issue... try the Wild1 517's,,, I loved those bars on my RG... but by the time you buy the bars and cables - she may still not like it...

My advice is - get the bike SHE feels she can handle... If she is saying she is NOT comfortable on the bike - all it takes is a split second while riding and down she goes and was it really worth it... Life is short - you take the bike and get her what she can handle.. I

I really wanted the RG and it took me several rides to get used to the VERY different feel.. My bike started as a EG in 04 - 06thruMay09 it got a new life as a RG - Now I have gone back to the EG - just for something different... Being short - I kinda like the dash closer to me..

we are all different and that is what is so great about this sport.
