Now I have created a monster. Now that i have returned from my solo tour up to the Smokies, Wendy "The Bodyguard", wants a bike that offers more touring comfort. Her current VTX 1300 was not purchased with long distance touring in mind. She previously had the opinion that a Wing was just too much bike for her. So today went and looked at touring bikes. We looked at Kawasaki and we looked at Yamaha. Then She test drove a Harley Streetglide and really liked it! She was sold on the Streetglide. So we pull up in the driveway back at home and there sits my Wing on the side stand. She hops up on the bike and stands it upright then says "shoot this is easier than any of the other ones! And this one has the heated grips, heated seat, cruise control AND the reverse; none of 'em have all this! I could do this...."
I'm not sure why but I am more hesitant about her getting a GW than the Streetglide. Maybe because the Harley has a lower seat height and maybe because it is a little less weight than a GW? I dunno. I know you folks can't make up my mind for me but just looking for some feedback. At 5'6", 130 lbs is a GW too much for a woman this size?
