alright, i's got a lady friend who's getting her permit, which do you think would be easier to start out on,
a f4i or a shadow vlx? she's not a jump the gas type, so no worries there.

thanks guys.

oh, and i'll be looking for a cbr in about a month or so.
and selling my 02 vlx.

[Edited on March 24, 2008 at 9:27 PM. Reason : i dont think them shadows are 700 pounds more like 500 or so?!?. ]

I wouldn't put her on the F4i... Even if she's not a 'jump the gas type', its not hard for a bump to cause her to hit the throttle and throw herself off... Learning on higher horsepower bikes is not a good idea.

Stick to something small, and preferably fairing-less. Rebel 250, Ninja 250/500, Suzuki gs500, etc.

3/25/2008 1:22:24 PM

Try to find a 250ish on CL to rent or something... seriously, the f4i is too fast and the shadow is too heavy.

3/25/2008 1:42:41 PM

what can she sit on and and get both feet down?

3/25/2008 2:42:14 PM

prolly the f4
