After riding on my bike (as a passenger) and watching the moto GP, my wife is now a huge Marquez fan and desperately wants a bike. I told her I would get her one as a gift (Kawi, not Repsol heh), only after she completes the safety course.
My question - im getting her a 250 to start, but I'm debating getting her a new or used one. To be honest, there isnt a massive price difference between the used ones we are looking at and a new one, plus she (I), would be a little more stress free knowing she isn't taking on someone else's problems. But then again, I know she would be devastated if she drops a brand new bike.
Any suggestions here? What was your first experience like? Did you get new or used and are you happy you made that choice?
Thanks!
