My friend Porter had a "girlie" some years ago. Somewhat tall but a very capable bike,natron get and easy to ride a long time. I looked at and test rode a "roadie" at Moto 400 thinking I'd like it but I did not and I can't really say why, except it did not feel as good as the older model. I do like this one's look, though, and I'd love to test ride one.
