I actually really like the SV but having had both bikes, it is not different enough from the Buell to warrant having both at the same time, imo.

crap, there goes my idea of getting a first gen for a track bike.

Was it really that bad?

I was gonna vote FZ6 but wanted to know her height, they sit a bit on the tall side but is a nice upright riding position.

How about this, what's a good beginner bike I can teach her on, ride to work, and cart her around on if she decides its not for her?

Ninja 500

This is the best fit for what you want.
It is a decent, inexpensive, reliable bike that has a low seat height, and is beginner friendly while still being able to entertain experienced riders.

Although the busa has a nice low seat, and according to the guys who stretch, chrome and lower theirs, they are fine beginner bikes, as long as you don't twist it too much. haha

To all those who recommend BMW GS and KTM Adventures, which part of "cheap" do you not understand?

Agreed on the SV or the Kawi clone

I missed the whole her learning to ride it, what makes you think I made it to the cheap part.

Unless this chick is paying for the bike, fuck her. I'd get something U like, not what she can ride, unless she is ponying up some coin.

Get a VFR Interceptor. Very easy to ride and good for 2 up.

I had a 599 and it was a great bike if you like an inline 4.

I know there are a lot of girls who ride SV's but they seem really tall to me. I could just flat foot the 599 and I'm 5'9 and all leg so I am not sure if she would be comfortable at 5'4. But like I said, there are a lot of short girls that ride SV's and don't seem to have a problem.

I never rode on the back, so I can't speak for it's comfort.

Cheap
