hey y'all
i'm a relatively new rider, not that secure in my skills yet. and i'm small--5'2" 115 lbs. i'm about to get a new (to me) bike, and would most love to get one of the newish classic-line triumphs, bonnevilles are too expensive, but maybe a 2000 legend (which i read somewhere is a "lower" bike, maybe better for women). i just talked to a guy about a thunderbird--he said it was topheavy and heavy in general and his wife (5'3") never felt comfortable on it.
any advice? anyone know about the legend and its comfort for smaller women? should i give up on my triumph fantasy? any other suggestions for newer bikes with classic styling?
thank you thank you thank you!
