My wife was able to put both feet down on the GSXR but in 07 we didn't consider that bike...we got a deal buying two Yammy's and I was set on getting the R1 since I had owned one before and liked it.

I've caught flak about lowering the bike (online but go figure...everyone is an expert there ) BUT I agree with you...she has had no issues at all either with the bike as far as riding it and she is much more confident being able to put her feet down since we have mountains not too far away from here as well. She's no Stoner or Bayliss either but has still managed to shrink her chicken strips pretty well.
