A CT110 is not even a motor bike.
I had one to ride to work for a while, handled dirt road OK but thats as far as I ever took it.
Some fella’s get great satifaction out of riding them ADV style. To be honest I think they are kidding. :S
As Dickie said, if no rego needed the CRF150f would be the go
I think if rego is needed maybe a TTR230, also has electric start and rego
Cheers
Murphthanks fellas but yeah rego is the go as we live in town and dont really know anyone with property, besides she wants to tag along on some rides with me and maybe a sedate OBT ride once she’s got the hang of it was looking at something like a Sherpa or a TTR or a CRF230 maybe or even a XR125 when they come out.
Hey BW
It is great showing the wife bueatiful places out in the bush but from experience, BE PATIENT. :whistle:
Cheers
MurphBoys you need some more info here….
5 ‘1 is she small framed or more athletic?
If you don’t mind me asking how old is she?? I’m 32 but after 4hrs on a dirt bike a feel like I’m 80! But if she is nice and young (anything younger than me
her body could probably take a bit more punishment so you could think of other bikes?Do you want something that is soft and comfy so she can sit down for most of the ride?
Unless you are an amazingly wonderful boyfriend she is going to have to pick it up herself. So put your bike on the ground and make her pick it up by herself then wait for the feedback
What ever you pick she needs to be able to put her foot flat on the ground with dirt boots on. Even if that means lowering and cutting into the seat.
We ladies like to be able to feel out feet firmly on the ground when we stop.
Oh and remind her that she has to swing her leg over the bike with another 1.5 kg on her foot.there MUST be an electric start! Unless of course you want to start it for her every time :pinch:
$2K?? How much do you love her?? throw in some extra cash buddy.
Very excited to hear that there might be another dirty chic hitting the trails soon. Alyssa has a nice ‘girls loop’ up at cessnock that we would be more than happy to take her on.
oh and there are few extra secret girls tips we can give her too lol.Murph the surf wrote:Hey BW

.1. 5’1″ and athletic
2. 22 Y.O. :woohoo:
3. She is a girl so of course a soft seat if preferable :whistle:
4. she’d tear me a new one if I tried to pick up her bike after a spill 😆She’s strong but she wouldn’t be able to pick up an XR400 I shouldn’t think. Hence the smaller bike ideas.
My GF is the same height and loves her XT250 (earlier models referred to as a XT225). They are all 223cc.
Same engine as a TTR 230 but the seat is a bit more comfortable if doing longer rides.
They are are near bulletproof we had a late 90’s model with 30,000km on it and never had been apart…..
Green slip is slightly cheaper than a 250 too.
The one below is her 2003 model
