Small bike for my wife
My wife and I will arrive in Melbournein August (see my other post).
We've been around the world two up on our 1150GS.
My wife wish to travel with her own bike when we go around Australia.
I'll ride the GS with all our lugguage, so she does not need a bike to carry lugguage. We travel at slow speeds, 80 - 100km/h on good roads, even the long flat boring ones. She hasn't riden herself in about 5 years, so will need to build up the confidence again with a small bike. She is short, about 1.54m, so does not fit on any enduro style bike, not even the lowered F650. She also does not like a Cruiser style bike.
So we are looking to buy something with a low seat hight, light in weight, economical (25km/l or better) that can cruise at 100km/h all day long if we wish to do so.
I was thinking of a Suzuki Bandit 250, or something similar. Not sure how reliable these are? The GS500 is another option.
Any ideas?
Our budget is limited to Aus$2500.
Regards
Johan
