She completed the Harley riding school this past summer. When we stopped by the dealer today they had a good price on this 2013 XL1200C sportster with 1142 miles on it. I couldn't say no so now I need to find a little more space in the garage for it.
My wife and I had the exact same situation this summer. I have my 2014 SGS and my wife had ridden small stuff in the past. Mostly dirt bike size stuff. She took the 4 day course at our local Harley dealer then we got her a bike. We found a 2012 Sportster 1200 Custom with about 1800 miles on it. It was black with a windshield and bags too. She really enjoys it and I get a kick out of riding it ocassionly. Compared to the SGS it is like driving a little sports car.
