[QUOTE="mtk, post: 1082757, member: 54339"] A TTR125 is also an excellent choice. But an old XR100, which is the same as the CRF100, is also a good choice. But if you can swing it, I'd also highly recommend you get a bike with e-start, even if it means you have to buy a newer model and spend a bit more money. The reason is this: the future-wife isn't too enthusiastic about the whole idea, so a prolonged bout of kicking could be enough to make her bag the whole idea. The e-button takes care of that little problem. Also make sure that she can get both feet flat on the ground as that goes a long way to making a newbie confident on the bike and in this, confidence is everything. Buying a bike she'll "grow into" (either literally or in skill level) is a BIG mistake as it she may get turned off of riding before she gets that far. Get her a good learner bike and just accept the fact that you might have to sell it in six months and upgrade her machinery sooner than you'd like. Having to spend a little more money on bikes is a lot better, in the long run, than skimping now and turning her off on riding completely. As for the whole ATV thing, the best one to turn her off on those is to borrow one and go riding on some tight single-track or off-camber hillsides. Or get it stuck in a 20' mudhole. ;) [/QUOTE]
