haha, you're gonna be jealous of that cbr250 and end up making her ride your gs500 haha. I've always been jealous about some of the awesome smaller bikes you can get in other countries that they don't even think about bringing to the US.

Forgot we get a cbr250 in the US now, I take back what I said before, haha. I was picturing this guy:



The newer cbr250rs look nice enough, just not worth the excitement I had before.

I would go for a 250cc too as my wife did not even want to try my GS but after going to the store and having her sit on some 250's she is beginning to come around. I have my eye out for a Ninja 250 in the Craigslist

Actually, the mid-90's 250cc and 400cc Japanese sportbikes were not that much smaller. A couple of shops here have tried to bring them over unsuccessfully ~ they are always too old, too expensive AND still too big for a newer, smaller rider.

my girlfriend offended me today, Said the old CB350 type bikes we're ugly.. God damnit, I think I see a break up in our future... JK!! but still.. no I was about to be like - facepalm - "GO MAKE ME WAFFLES NOW!!"

Bah! Even I want to tell her to get to the kitchen.  To each their own. My boyfriend refused to be the one to show me how to ride when I decided I wanted to learn. He said "Go take the class, then we'll talk". I was serious and really wanted to, so I took the class and sat on different bikes. If she's really serious, she'll do the same. One thing to keep in mind is the bike you start on probably won't be the one you stick with for the rest of your life. Just pick one that feels comfortable and is cheap enough that she won't be crying when she drops it in a newbie maneuver. Fairings could get all scratched up in the beginning. Get the dream bike later, after she gets some miles under her belt.
