I was thinking if my wife can keep the front end down on this bike I dont think many people could keep up with her in a drag race. She only weighs 130 with all her riding gear on. The only problem is that this is her first bike and she is still learning to ride. ( o Y o ) : > ) !

The V does have a throttle limiter on it so you can just let her have 1/4 until she gets better.

It is very easy to ride, You can putt around or go fast its great. It is a big bike however and it takes more upper body strenth to controll than my KFX400.

I let my girlfriend ride my V and she has no problems at all, But she only putts around and wont go up any hills that are very big.

Yea, I got the throttle set for about 1/3 for her. I am even scared of big hills myself on a quad (This is the first one I have owned). one thing for sure is a set of nerf bars as soon as they are available. I have to REALLY be careful to not use my feet. These quads are a whole different animal than my 650R. A lot of fun though.

You could put a pony keg on the front to keep it down! (lol) My wife rides a Kawi 220 and I keep telling her she can ride the 700 and she says, "But I don't need to go fast" God love the wifes that ride with us!

I let my Wife ride mine at the Dunes, and Now suddenly she is HAPPY that I got my 700. It's funny how before she got a chance to ride it and found out how much fun it was to ride, that I didn't "NEED" it. Now, truth is I will be Lucky if I ever get to ride it in the sand again.

Tell her not to nail it till she hits about 20, it will still come up but not over. IF she feathers it off the line she will be just fine.
