Get what you love and tell her if she wants a cruiser so badly, she can get one for herself.

Hah, if you weren't in Florida I'd ask you who he was.... we've got the same "guy" that attends our track days all the time up here. Not sure if he's early 70's or late 70's though. The guy fuckin hauls ass! Generally he's the fastest guy at the track but he doesn't race anymore.
I agree, get what YOU want... if she wants to ride on the back THEN find a compromise... Tuono, Speed Triple, Fz1 or something more sport touring...
I say buy a brand new FJR or Concourse, bring it home & say "HEY HONEY, I did what ya told me to do... here's our cruiser!" :D
