Need A Bike For The Miss's

[Tbags]

Hey all

looking for a bike for the Miss's

ive been having a blast with the Outlaw 160, and occasionally i let my partner ride it
she now wants to come out more often and ride....
i would buy her an Outlaw 160 but she putt's around about 5kph, so i doubt she needs hump loads of power
she has some trouble kicking over the 160.

is their a production electric start mini bike ??
or any other sugestions of bike, may even spring for a name brand bike!

otherwise i am looking at the DHZ Dpro 140
i assume its easier to start compared the the 160 ( if someone could confirm this)??

Cheers

Yeah mate the 140s easier to start and still has a fair bit if go in it, I'm faster on mine than some mates on 160s I suppose it comes down to ability but all in all a good bike, might be a tad heavy for her thou that's all.

well i spose the worst thing that could really happen is it get dropped,
atleast i will have a spare bike to ride when the 160 is down

Now thats what i call thinkn ahead dude, in that case maybe another 160 with the de-comp kit for the valve cover from DHZ

That's an even better idea Mick than when she pulls the plug on ridding you've got an exact spare, thinking brother.

i got my missus the dhz 110 and she loves it goes well on it also we opted for the 110 as it was her first bike and and she felt very comfortable on it:cheer2:

Theres plenty of bikes out there to choose from - however, i would be choosing wisely as 1 of 2 things will happen she will either lov it and then youv'e got yourself a partner for life OR she will hate it and then you will have to get rid of her and the bike SO i would either get something small and cheap so if she doesn't like it you don't loose much + it doesn't sound like she'll use much more power than what a 125 will put out OR another 160 in which case she doesn't like it you have a spare (as stated above) For the record got my wife a 125 Nitrous and she loves it However it is another bike i have to maintain now

How tall is your missus?

I got the ex an 88 mod as she was a short ass.

Plenty of controllable power and good fun for me as well!!

i dont mind looking after bikes, i work on trucks and earthmoving equipment for a living, so a small bike is relaxing in a way
she isnt very tall at all, but she likes the Outlaw's size and finds it comfortable which is why i was thinking the dpro 140,
i didnt even think about lookin at atomik

The Otlaw is an easier bike to ride than the 10" bikes mentioned. The smaller the wheels the harder to balance.
A good bike would be the 160 Outlaw with this fitted.

The 140DHZ does not have suspension as good as the 160.

hahahahaha are you serious????

If that was the case you would stick a 5 year old straight on a 140 cause the can balance better!!! LOL

Much easier to drag your feet on a 50 if you have to. Throttle control will teach you how to balance the bike.

Plus the whole clutch thing!!! Much easier to learn the basics of riding without a clutch then worry about that as that's another big step.

If she is a beginner rider and your sticking here on a 160 with a clutch you are flat out asking for trouble. Don't say I didn't warn you.

But the first post said she is already riding a 160 :hidesbehindsofa:

I'm totally serious. Riding a bike where you can sit on it and be flat footed and comfortable and having your feet on the pegs without your knees hitting the bars or your chin is a much better bike to ride to learn on. The lady can already ride the outlaw so a clutch is not a problem.
A 5yo was never mentioned and my advise would differ for a beginner child rider.
Bigger wheels are less effected by ruts,bumps,rocks and sand.
Longer wheel base gives the bike a more stable ride without lifting the front wheel as easy if a bit rough on the clutch or throttle.
