Hi people, I don't normally venture in here but was wondering if you could swing some advice my way. My girlfriend seems quite intersted in passing her test and getting on a motorbike. My obvious choice is to stick with a Duke. Now, the problem is that she's small, as in 4'11" AND A HALF (the half is very important ) and she weighs only 7.5 stone.

So, would the Monster be a good choice? I've not ever sat on a Monster so not sure about seat height etc. Also would it be too heavy to push around?

My plan would be to get a 600 for me to use on the road (I only use my 996 on track) and then when she's ready she could use the 600 whilst I go for something a bit more potent, probably the S4R.

So, just general thoughts on little people and monsters really

A mate of mines G/Friend has a monnie 600, she's slightly shorter than Welshie. She could only fit the older 600's, as the frame changed at some stage. She had tiny legs mind. 3x lowered the backend couple inches, so she could flat foot as such.
