Next year? Buy one of mine.
The VF would be good for her and the Bandit would do just about everything you're looking for and then some.

If you are okay with a cruiser... Yamaha V-Star 650, they sit low (for her to learn), very comfortable.
If I could have two bikes, def would get another one to cruise around on. ![]() Honda Shadow 600 is similar to V-Star 650. |

SV650 period. Great commuter bike, much better than the POS flexi-flyer EX500. Can't think of another more versatile bike than the SV650, it satisfies both experienced and beginners. And as far as beginners go I would not give my gf anything bigger than that to learn on.

As for comfort, it is 100X better than my 1125/his Firebolt. Either SV would be a good commuter too, but the naked one has a better seating position, the faired one better wind protection. |

If not then a Honda 599, FZ6, or some other small cc standard.

![]() Although the SV still shits on all of them ![]() You can get an early SV for as little as $2K with light damage. This is because all the young bucks eschew them for "cooler" full-fairing bikes. |
