My girlfriend wants one as a starter bike (98), I will likely do most maint. How are these bikes to work on, parts avail, etc. TIA

 

Simple little cruiser-style bike, liquid cooled v-twin...parts available from any number of online discount places. If you're going to be doing regular maintenance on it, getting a Helms manual is highly recommended. They're docile little bikes, excellent for new riders, especially shorter folks.

 

Thanx fer the post, my girl's one of the shorter folk, and seems to like it.
