My wife loves bening a passenger, she can just zone out and enjoy the ride. Its also safer for the clutch and transmission.

I brought it up to my wife, and she didn't totally reject it.  Thing that got he to REALLY thinking about it was when a couple of other lady riders talked about how much more fun it is on the front rather then the back.

Now I'm really looking forward to biketoberfest, was thinking of  demo riding a couple of sport bikes will make sure I ride the Ninja.
How do you bring up that second bike to your wife?

I wasn't sure if that was the 250 or the 500.  Those 250's are really quite the machine!

My Ninja is the most popular Kawasaki model, outselling all the others: 250 cc.
Beats a V8 Jag to 60 mph
Tops out over 100
70 MPG
Ninja suspension and brakes
Best value for giggles on the road!
These two bikes truly give you the two ends of the motorcycle model bell curve; heavy cruiser to zoom/splat testosterone squeeze.

Man; you'd need a letterbox camera to get all those in!  I'm 58 and I've been hooked since a guy put me on the tank of a Harley widebody when I was in 3rd grade and took me up and down my street.
The Ninja is more fun than you can imagine; corners like a ninja, does 90 easily and gets 70 mpg.  $2000 with 3K miles on it; 1 year old.  Amazing brakes and suspension.
The Tricross's tires go from 50 # to 100 #, depending on what you want to do; dirt roads or touring; nice piece of engineering that I traded a mt. bike and a road bike in for.

Three very different animals!  All quite nice though!

I too have a few different animals.  I have a 2001 Drifter 1500, an Electra Indy, an Electra Hellbetty Tandem, and a 2008 Honda Metropolitan.  Seems we have our two wheel obsession in common, huh?
