A 250 rebel. Its a step above a schwinn (I guess that depends, I'd rather be seen riding a schwinn)
I just sold my fiances 2002 Honda Rebel 250 and got her a shadow. She had it two or three years put like 5k on it and I sold it for $500.00 more than I paid for it. Awesome little bike that never loses its value(unless you buy brand new, then you may lose 1k). She did a few multi state trips on it with me, always rode 65mph or less, and she loved every minute of it. She cried when I sold it but loves her new shadow, and would never go back. Keep it until she is comfortable riding and get a bigger bike. Awesome, practical choice.
Nice upgrade
Forgiveness is between them and god....it's my job to arrange the meeting.
"Before we had any clue about the myriad dangers of triple cheeseburgers, saturated fat, unburned hydrocarbons and street-going two-strokes, there was the RD350. Dirty, foul-mouthed, deliciously quick". Motorcyclist magazine-Great bikes of the 70s.
