5'3", 123 pounds was female student couple years back, had her on a old CM400 Honda and made her pick it up a couple times before letting her drive off side street. She half dropped it and laid it down at stop sign and tried the 'whimper, I'm a poor weak female needing help routine' - and I reminded her that's why I made you pick it up from laying sideways, do it again now. She had 2 weeks of scooter basics with a 49cc Yamaha- legal in Wisconsin with car license- before she got her permit and did learn to ride mostly safe and get to work a couple times. If she hadn't got her 3rd drunk driving in the car ticket, might have gotten motorcycle license. She's walking and bumming rides now, little CM400 had a new student last year- 5'10" 225 pound guy. Goldwing is still in garage, CM400 on garden shed and Suzi was out on road last month before the chill weather came back. Your case , park the 1100 and go see 'Girl with Dragon Tattoo' in the Swedish version and look close at the Kaw 125 dual sport ridden by female lead who is rather small. think about old bike same size engine- find a 125 about 10 years old- Honda, Kaw, whatever- for both of you to relearn how to ride around, watch out for traffic and large pedestrians(like Talers). Suzuki makes a single cylinder 650 as the S40 in dual sport, cruiser and bare models- the cruiser style is good for the shorter riders and is good enough for most highways, learning and commuting- is 30hp instead of 90hp. Straddle fit is important- can rider sit on seat and have both feet on ground flat footed? Local shafty club used to have a bunch of little ladies riding old /2 BMWs with low seats- some of these were hi-bred rigs with the low /2 frame and later /5 or /6 engine with electric start, one lady had big sidecar and brought both kids to rally with her. Honda Shadow with a Urals sidecar might be interesting- mild tease here, sidecars are a different way to ride compared to 2 wheels, more danger for new riders. Honda made Shadows in 500cc and 700, 750 beside the big 1100-- 700 seemed to be popular with some of the young-and older- ladies at spring rallies, Yamaha Vstar 535 is another moderate weight, short legged new rider suitable cycle. Maybe stop at local riders hangout and ask who has a "rat' trainer available? RN.
