Michelle,
My ladie is was 31 and got her learner licence in January. She had been pillion for years, and great at it too, and decided she would like her licence just because.
She started on a Suzuki Across, had the shits with that after the second ride. Got her licence at Easter and had a brand new Aprilia Falco sitting in the garage waiting for her. She did about two thousand k's on it (not what she was expecting, constantly trying to get a better setup to suit her), saw an add for the Kawa Zx12 for a great price.
To cut a short story long, she then rode the Bus, and within the first 1km fell in love with it and called me all the *$%^#*&@( under the sun for letting her get the Aprilia.:">
It took a bit of coaxing to get the keys back off her, she now wants my bike and for me to get a new one, SHUCKS.
So in short, a relatively inexperienced rider, rode it brilliantly and now wants her own. Oh, and she reckons she never went higher than third gear, but then she reckons she never went over two hundred either.
Hope this gives a positive aspect.
Regards, Dave.
