Very nice Seth!  That would have been my ideal too (Wife having one too) but she's given up riding & won't get back on her bike. She's putting it up for sale, it's only her learner bike though, a GN250.

we all start somewhere it's a shame she didn't take to it. dors she go on the back with you as it's good to go on trips/runs together.

my wife had a 1200 bandit when we met but kept taking my old k2 gsx1400 out so when we got married we replaced the older bikes with a pair of k6 gsx1400's

the red and black gsx1400  replaced a very mistaken buy of a b king .

happy with whats in the garage now and don't see anything changing soon.

Yeah, sometimes she does. About an hour is all she can take on the back - reckons it's not comfortable enough - too hard on her backside, but there ya go.
I like doing longer runs & spending a few days away riding, so those are not to her liking.

Lucky lads... my missus hates the bike and no chance she would join me for a ride out :whatever:
Still... she would never deprive me of my passion/obsession as long as I 'check in' from time to time if I'm out and about on the bike.

What's better than a 1400?  2 ! or 3 or .....

was not for me or what i do big trips touring.
to much of a sports bike riding position for a man who broke his neck long time ago.
tank range was no use either
nothing particularly wrong with it but a massive mistake for me .

Im one of the lucky ones. The Brides happy on the pillion seat. But does have a couple of rules.
We do have to stop for regular stretches and if I scare her she aint getting back on.
We did have a slow speed slide in the wet at the weekend....... she said "I felt that !"
1st class pillion.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

well my wife had never being on a bike at all,until i came along. we have being married less than a year but being together for 3 yrs

i know love ah  :onya:

so i had to drive her round the block at 30 mph  :cry2: and be a good rider and give way to cars and traffic

first time for everything i know

but she has said in the summer she might go out again. so finger crossed  :clapping:
look check and look again  then you see the fool

seth

hopefully she'll be back out with you on the bike over the summer so much better to be able to share with her rather than just tell her when you get back home as thats never the same .
