Re: Wifey got motorcycle license... now what bike?

The little woman is in the process of getting her license. She has sat on every harley and due to a a height impairment (lol) and short inseam she loved the height and balance of the 1200L, we looked at the duece and deluxe but she felt they were just to heavy and the seats are wider which impacted her putting her feet down. Plus the 1200L has a 17 litre tank versus the 12 litre on the custom. Width of the seat can be just as bad as the seat height for those who are shorter. Looked at the 105 anna and she found reaching the forward controls a little difficult.

Just have to remember there are many things that can impact a riders comfort and ability to handle a bike. Always check out all the options and then chose.
