What's a good moped for a girl that does 65mph?

[dave_xb12r]

I don't understand the question.... Your girl does 65 mph and you want to get her a moped? Or do you want a moped that does 65 for your girl?

You have a fast GF

I think it is actually called the Super Slow.

if not it should be

You could look for an old Honda cb125-175.

I second that.. i love cbs! I got a cb750 supersport collectin dust right now.. needs major carb work.. havent gotten around to it..

And I picked this up last fall for doing some break lines on a guys car. The little thing rips. 76 cb550four.

Look on craigs list. cbs are all over the place.. half the time people dont realize there isnt much wrong with it..




hehe sparkly orange ugly ****. Eventual cafe project.

My gf started on a Suzuki GS500. It's pretty forgiving if you ask me. And you can find great deals locally, on CL, etc.

Plus the engine is practically bullet-proof & the bike has "low-maintenance" upkeep.
And if she dumps it a couple o' times (like mine did) the lack of fairings & sensitive external parts keeps the damage to a minimum.

I think it looks pretty good--for a non-Buell.

I started on a gs500f and dumped it about 5 times. sold it for 100 less then what i bought it for even.

I dont think it matters that you are a girl starting out vs a guy.

Get a old ninja 250 (they ugly so they cheap)
The gs500 is forgiving for itself
The blast is amazing as well. Barely better then a 250 and is the also forgiving. The downside about the blast tho is the tire is so hard.

The newer Ninja 250 is a cheap starter bike with a good steady throttle, which is a great start for a newb. Either way, I agree with an MSF course first to let her get her jitters out and confidence up.

Why not a Blast, BuellChick learned to ride on her XB9Scg, just brought her out to an industial area and ran her through the ropes. Just need to explain the bits and pieces to her and she should have no problem, but figure the bike will go down at least a few times, so invest in some extra levers, grips, and pegs for sure.

can't go wrong, when you learn in the dirt Jobe

Thanks for all the feed back guy's. Much appreciated. That is a cool ruckus Glade 21. I was looking at those as well.

She is going to need alot of reassurance and patience

Yeah. I can feel the arguments coming already because I am afraid she will hurt herself. Maybe we will have her brother teach her. :) On his CBR! LOL!

Probably going with a Blast. Seems like the most bang for the buck. Wish Heidi luck ;)
