Thank you for all the replies so far. As far as the MSF course, that is a must. I have already told her that she will take the course, and I will not teach her. Not that I don't think I can, but I know that they will teach her properly and I will probably teach her my bad habits that I may have picked up over the years. To make it more fun, I plan to re-take the class with her. I have had the BRC (8 years ago) and ERC (January this year) but wouldn't mind taking the BRC with her, just to have some fun together.
Scud and Gohm,
She does not like the style of the sport bikes, which is why she isn't leaning towards the ninja 250 or 500. I have shown her those bikes in person several times, and she just doesn't like the style. She likes the look of the SV, but it is just too tall for her to be comfortable. That is why she was leaning towards cruisers.
miker,
I was saying that it wouldn't match Speedy in jest, as whatever she wants is what I will try to find for her. I also know that if I ask about a bike, I will get 50 differing opinions if I ask 40 people, as some people will weigh in on both sides. What I was trying to find out is if the power is relativley tame and the seat position is good for someone ~5'3". We do not have any for sale locally (central texas), the closest one I have found is about 1 1/2 - 2 hours away, and before driving that far to let her through a leg over it, I wanted to find out if it was worth it.
Sprint and Jeff,
This is the info I was looking for. Sounds like power would not be an issue and if your wife could use it at 5'1", size should be fine as well.
Thanks everyone,
Shawn
