She totally would too.


I had barely started shoving this derelict in the back of my van when she said "so this is gonna be my bike right?"

A girl like that can chase me down any day.
(...maybe not with powertools, unless they're wrapped up as a birthday present )

The Hawk will make an excellent trainer. Perfect thing to start her on before she trades up to a 696 Monster or SV650. Could be that she falls in love with it and wants to pimp it out instead. RC bodywork, rear wheel, and a F3 front end, trick paint and some carbon fiber...Hawks are immortal!

She's head over heels in love with the non bananna seat f4I. Couldn't see a monster, she's not real big on ducatis actually we were flipping through fast bikes used naked bikes comparo last night at dinner. She hated the monster s4rs but loved the tuono

She'll like that F4i till she rides it after the hawk. Then she will pine for a twin again. My wife is all about the styling and bodywork. Naked engines and frames are ugly she says. Incluing my 1125 (which is admittedly homely).

In my quite moments tho I pine away for a Duc Sport Classic in gold and black...

I've noticed she's slowly becoming more interested in naked bikes over time. Probably in direct relation to me teaching her about the different components and what they do.

I'm looking forward to spending some time with a liquid cooled vtwin. My experience so far is limited to about five minutes on a superhawk (sports oriented twins anyway) and I've been considering a switch in that direction for a bit now
