Ideas for a new bike for maduck

[ajturbo]

like Frosty said... the sv is just too tall for her,
i poped up to say hi, and she showed me the problem....

really nice bike.. but it was/ is just toooo high for her... ..hey what if she put some of those really small wheels on it???

sorry MD.. just had too

[FROSTY:Me]

sorry guys Maduck and I had a convo a few months ago and she doesn't like cruisers or plastic fantastics--a preference for nakeds.
I was wondering about the zdr400 -the naked version .
I even wondered about a grunty cruiser and getting the front end tweaked inwards a few degrees.

Thats why a Virago 750 should be ok cause they arn't all that heavy and still got the abillities to be fun to ride.

Yes, I noticed a certain XV750 filtering with reasonable rapidity in traffic this morning along the northwestern motorway...

Couldn't have been our very own Dr Bob, of course. He's far too old and professorial for that sort of behaviour.

A slightly less sporty commuter twin seems indicated, then.

GS500?

ER5 (the Industrial Cooking Motorcycle)?

She should probably take a CB600 Hornet for a play, too, just to see how it feels. They're pretty small.

The main problem with most of the big thumpers on the market is that they all seem to be pretty tall, due to their dual-purpose aspirations. The Buell Blast is probably the only one that breaks that mold. But it's hardly 'on the market', now, is it?

[Zapf]

Yep, either a CB600 Hornet. Seat hight 790mmLink



Or the CB400 SFIII Seat hight 755mm


FOR Reference
- SV650's seat hight is 800mm
- VTR250's seat hight is 780mm

[loosebruce]

V - Rod, 26 inches with 180 pound rider :sly: think thats 570mm or so (didnt make it past Standard 4 maths), handles well, pretty damn quick, brakes i dunno (WT filll us in plz). Okay maybe a little on the heavy side of things but "who cares" when it looks so good.

Along with the hornet 600 etc, has she looked at a Bros? I sat on one the other day and could put both feet down and i'm only marginally taller than MD. I also found the height of the TRX850 not bad but can't remember if i was tiptoeing or not, so might still be too high. The old GSXR750's have a really low seat, not far off my CBR400, if she could find one in good nick that would be worth looking at too even though i know she's not into plastic, at the end of the day, like me, her choices are limited. Has she sued her parents for bad genes yet?

Or Maybe a F650CS......

[Stroker Girl]

Sooooo what you are saying........ is that you want us to follow you around and every 200ks or so stop and .......make us rub your butt???

Rub it? Hell no, by that stage my butt is so numb that it needs to be spanked severly to get the blood circulating again!!

[FROSTY:Me]

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT--I bum measured a bunch of bikes and i think I've found the bike for Madduck--2001 Cagiva raptor.

Be a good time to find my nice double bareled shotgun aye.

I guess though Madduck is looking for a new bike, some of these suggested are getting pretty old? How about an Aprilia RS125 or 250? or god forbid dont Harley do the 883 with a low seat (thats lower than standard)
XL883R

[MadDuck]

Well thanks for the thread Frosty ...but dammit at your age you should have learned not to give a girl too many options cos we just cant decide.

I took the VTR in for a service and went next door to look an SV for a test ride. I could only get onto the damn thing by pushing it over to the kerb so i could get my leg over . I LOVED IT - its called impulse buying. But when they lowered it they kinda changed the handling of the whole thing and I have had a big mind FU&^ going cos every time I ride it it feels different. Any one that has followed me on a KB ride would piss themselves and think - what that girl knows how to ride? ...lmfao

I will find the bike for me but I did sit on a Cagiva and it kinda didnt do it for me. Keep the advice going cos I am sure I will find the bike that fits
