The girl I'm dating is 5' 1" and weighs about 115. She has ridden since a kid, not bad but I wouldn't ride in the same lane at speed like I do with some friends. No way she could handle my bike because of the weight.
She was riding an old Suzuki that kept breaking down, this is a 2012 Honda Rebel 250. We found it in Orlando, only 600 miles for $3000.00 plus tax. Bike was a starter bike for a man that decided motorcycle riding wasn't for him.
They are inexpensive, get 80 miles a gallon, dependable as hell, parts available everywhere, easy to ride upright sitting position.
edit, mine has a true dual exhaust and is pretty loud, hers sounds like a sewing machine lol.

Yes!
Had it Dyno tuned and re-mapped. When I put the headers on. Got the print out somewhere around here.
I have a 7 year tire to tire warranty on everything I had done to it. Harley will warranty everything they do if you get it all done within 3 months of purchase.
I bought my bike in 2012 and 2 months later HD came out with a stage 4 jet kit. Costed 6k just in parts. Was the very 1st one in Cali put in. New pistons, bigger throttle body, Cams, springs, bigger oil pump and a few other things.
I dropped 20K after I bought the bike and did everything so not to fuck my warranty. Thats why I went through Harley. Got everything that could be done, done.
One thing I did that would void my warranty, but I felt it needed to be done was I went with a Vance and Hines Race headers to go with my race pipes. That voids the heads gasket warranty.
But when I got the engine race mapped that voices my engine warranty. But I picked up a Master Tune 2 and I keep the stock map that Harley assigned all of my engine upgrades on a memory stick, so when I go to the Harley shop to get anything done, It takes 5 min. to load in the stock Harley Tune so to not void my warranty. When I get beach from the shop, I then load in my Race Map. Think of a "Map" as a program on how everything on the motorcycle is told how to work. Engine Revs, full to air mixtures, injectors, compression, timing, etc.
For me, reliability and dependability was the most important thing. I have worked on every motorcycle I have ever owned. But now I rather hop on it and go.
Im friends with all of the mechanics at Simi Valley Harley. I guess loading my saddle bags full of Porn really helps on getting me deals. lol
Everything I did that could fuck with my warranty, the lead mechanic suggested it and suggested the spot that does the best race running. They know not to pug my bike into the machine without asking me if my map was changed.
And yes 118 horses. The showed the Mechanics at Simi Valley Harley the print out paper work from the Dyno Machine. They all doubted the Stage 4 before the instal, but after it was put in and they rode it even they were impressed. I also got the 1, 2 and 3 before the 4.
Hey Dyno, I forgot you ride!! Call me up lets do this!! You still got my number?
