She has not ridden for quite a while, but was an accomplished street rider albeit on smaller bikes and on the wrong side of the road downunder.
Just finished her course in Florida and got the new license.
. . .
Best idea forming so far is the medium sized 450 to 650ish used ride that she can drop and I won't cry about.


You'd do worse than look at a Suzuki Gladius which is the reliable SV650 twin mechanics in a slightly downsized frame.
a naked bike, so get a Givi windscreen and she/you should be pair of happy campers.
