Hey Donna, Just had a chance to put in my two cents worth. Rode behind the hubby for years, he bought me my bonne almost three years ago and I love it. I am 5'3" and the bike is just the right size. We put progressive shocks on the bike and it was lowered about one inch. Have the boards too. With decent boots, I can flat foot it. Not too difficult to reach the kick stand. Definately take the MSF course, it's worth it.
