[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1281093, member: 68872"] Does your wife know that you put her weight out on the internet? Your wife is fairly tall so she would probably be comfortable on a full size bike. You might want to lower the suspension just a little. Kicking a four stroke can be a tad difficult at times. I know a bunch of ladies that can do it no problem at all but there are a lot of others that would never be able to start a stubborn bike by kick starting it. Electric start can go a long way to keeping the ride enjoyable. I think that the biggest decision you need to make is how excited and "into" this your wife really is. If she likes the idea, and wants to be a little agressive then she would probably do well on a bigger bike, such as a Yamaha WR250F. It has electric start and a decent suspension. If she is just "going along" with the idea then you will want to minimize the aggravation and make it as easy on her as possible. If she isn't likely to attempt steep hills, hit the whoops hard or ever put the suspension to the test then she might be better off on "off road" bike like the Yamaha TTR-230. Rod [/QUOTE]
