If I could get the balls of my feet down on the XB12Scg I'd be happy. But, I just can't quite do it. If I get another bike I'm considering getting it and just shaving down the seat a bit or getting a Corbin for it. Corbin told me they could easily get it an inch or so lower by custom making the seat. Zoomie hit it right on with the comfort level. I'm just not comfortable having to start or stop on a hill without being able to get the balls of both my feet down. That Monster was nice.

I'd like to hear about a girl that instead of letting her boyfriend tell her what to ride, actually went out and did the research herself. granted a girl that wants to ride cause you do is awesome, but a girl that wants to ride because she loves to ride truely shares my passion.

ask her to picture her shiney new bike on the ground because it's likely to end up there (a few times). With a used bike, that's not so heart wrenching. She'll need to be able to pick it up herself too.
She won't outgrow her bike within a year unless she's an anomoly - even a 250 or a 500 will take a good year and a lot of miles before you're using it to 100% capacity. Meanwhile, have her go sit on bikes - any of them, all of them.
