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
