Hi, I'm new to the site. My girlfriend passed her test last July and bought an M600 Dark ('01 model), with a 33hp kit. She nevey gained confidence and had a couple of 2mph spill's, these were partly down to the bulk/weight, lack of steering lock (making manouvering very awkward) and snatchy low speed running (particularly when cold). She is about 5'4". Five weeks later had a nasty spill, smashed the bike up, broken elbow etc.... The thing is she had loads of confidence on the CG125, we've now bought a Suzuki DR200 Dejabel, which despite being tall, she can manage a treat. I'm running the Duke alongside the TRX (and 400/4...), hoping with a little experience she will be able to confidently manage the Monster. Hope this help's, Regards Phil |
