So we are slowly moving out from the SxS cruising as the kids are getting older and more independent. Little guys handles the 110 outlaw pretty good and my youngest daughter is on a ds70. Tossing around the idea of a used 250 2 stroke for me but not sure about size and power for the mrs. She is pretty strong but don't think she is tall enough for a 125. Anyone have their ladies on bikes that could help me out with ideas.... Not too worried about brands and not thinking new.

Maybe look into the kawi klx140, I believe there are 3 different wheel sizes to choose from, has electric start,and disc brakes. My neighbor has one and has had zero issues with it.

Is the wheel size reflective of the L or G? Not familiar with the new line ups

Yes the L has 19" front and 16" rear, the G has 21" front and 18"rear. Being 5'4 I'm thinking the L might be a pretty good fit for her.

Just missed a good one in Vernon. Not too many kicking around though

Get the kids on bikes instead of quads! One only gets the true understanding and respect of dirt once you've been on two wheels. Older kids that have only ridden quads sometimes learn these lessons the hard way. Bikes will put a kid on their ass's long before they'll get seriously hurt.

Oldest daughter is more of a homemaker type but does enjoy a ride every now and again. Younger daughter rides the bike well, approaching 3rd gear soon. Because my son has some physical challenges the quad is better suited, he has ridden the 70 a couple times but requires some assistance as he isn't that comfortable with the balance. Dr said he would never ride a two wheel bicycle so it's a pretty big deal when he has the confidence to get on the 70
