Wife's New Ride 4 Months, 1 Week ago  
Been promising my wife a new ride since I sold her 85 Suzuki GS550L this past summer, so I could buy more chrome for my R*. Went bike hunting yesterday and landed this 2006 Yamaha Virago 250 for $1000.00 with only 271 miles on it. Its in brand new condition and runs great. My wife is so excited. Here are a few pictures of the new ride.

Nice find Blackrain...your wife will want something bigger once she starts riding it. Specially since she won't be able to keep up with you without straining that little engine...

My first bike was a suzuki Boulavard 650. You can find them around with low miles and cheap ($2000). Would be able to keep up alittle better with an r*, great find you could almost sell it buy a new bike and turn a profit.
