no no no, i must of confused you by my messed up wording, she wants a road bike not a cruiser.... virago etc... i was originaly asking if there is any bikes like my gpx that sit low, as she is only 5ft tall and can just go tippy toes on my bike.
sorry if i confused anyone

Guess you don't want semk's response times
In regards to the original post, zzr 250 then when shes ready for bigger the zzr 600. PM Mszzr, she's around the 5' mark, bought a zzr600, had the seat sculpted and suspension lowered and now shes pretty comfy on it.
