Ok girls, I’m wondering if you could possibly give my wife some advice.

Here’s the quick story.

My wife and I both ride. She currently is riding a Ninja 250 and is ready to move on to something more powerful. She is getting a little frustrated with the 250, cause when her and I go up in the mountains here in CO, it seems that the 250 is struggling for power in the higher altitudes. The wife and I have talked about possibly rejetting her bike and putting another pipe on it, but she would rather not invest the money into the 250 and just put that money towards getting her a little more powerful bike. The question that I have for the ladies is, which bike do you ride and what would you recommend for another woman rider?

Here are the prerequisites that she would like to have. 1st, the wife wants the bike to be fuel injected; she likes how easy my r6 starts with the push of a button (she doesn’t like having to deal with the choke on her bike to start it). 2nd, I will need to lower the bike to about a 29/30 inch seat height (so I am worried about handling).

The wife has her eye on the Kawi 636 but her and I are going to go Tuesday and look at a CBR-F4i. Personally I think any RR model or R6 is just to much, which is why we are looking at 636’s.

Thanks in advance

Kev
