Hey Folks,
A few months back I bought my wife a Yamaha XT225 to learn how to ride on. She got her M license and did the safety course (she did not pass). We went out riding a couple times... and she's just not getting it.. she drops the bike constantly, etc.
I took a deposit tonight on the XT225 and am looking for something else for her.
She's vertically limited... lol she's about 4'11 140lbs. We went to the local honda dealer and they had a CRF125 (non big wheel) with a 28" seat height and she was on her tippy toes.
I am at a loss for what to replace the XT with.. THe 125 would be about 40lbs lighter. It's about the best option that I've come up with but would love to hear some ideas.. she is determined to ride... and I don't want to discourage that but I cant help but think she would be safer on an ATV... the problem with that is I don't have a trailer(or a place to store it) and I don't think i'd get an atv and my DRZ400 in my F150.
