It's perfect since I am only 5'3" and at my age not going to get any taller. Thanks for the comments. It's the "Girley Bike" because my daughter and I ride it because we are not tall enough to ride my hubby's 1200 Sportster.

I've been riding for 40 years, had a KZ900 when they first came out, had a Moto Guzzi when I wanted to tour the US and now have a VLX. I mostly use it to commute and its become my favorite bike. Very easy to handle, fantastic gas mileage, and doesn't complain too much on the hoghway.

Since I AM a girl, albeit an OLD ONE, every single one of my bikes are "Girley Bikes" but I refuse to name them!

Tell the truth, how many of you NAME your bikes GIRL names! I always thought that was, well, kinda creepy. . .

Love you ALL. . .

And I refuse to ride a PINK and purple bike. . .shoot, I SOLD a Yamaha vstar 650 because it was purple. My current scoot is an 05 VT1100C2 with that over-macho black with flames paint. I would prefer an all black, but the cost to paint is more than I paid for the bike, so I just "suffer" all that fake testosterone and hope that no one thinks I am anything other than a girl.

Doh! Never even crossed my mind. Still, only thing girly about the bike is the flesh in the seat.

Ha. I hadn't even thought to look at your profile. Wait, that didn't sound ... oh hell.

Nothin wrong with old. Nothin wrong with purple. I name people and animals. Not things. I do, however, refer to mine as "she". B!tch has a temper worse than my wife.

You'd be amazed how fun those can be.

My head just exploded since I'm in the middle of watching Indiana Jones Last Crusade... All of a sudden imagined the motorcycle chase on that thing. Good times.

I'd say you got a good small framed cruiser! Those 600s are tough as anvils (almost as tough as the Rebels I'd say).

I guess if you go under the impression that many women are shorter than men this bike would have a tendency to fit women more comfortably than men but lots of guys ride these. My 1100 has almost been retired in favor of a "tiny" 550 but there is no way my wife can fit that bike. She could almost flat-foot the 1100. I thought it was funny when I brought the 550 home everyone thought I picked up a little bike for the wife! Au contraire...
