I hear you. I bought my wife a new Rancher about 5 yrs ago and she never rode the damn thing. I ended up selling it to my father-in-law. She then started getting moody every time I went riding and I asked her why, and she replied I miss riding and the reason I didn't before was I didn't like the Honda. The bad thing she picked it out, so this time I wanted her to sit on and ride a few before she picked one out. She liked the Wolverine 450 the best and that's what she got for her birthday. Now she rides more often and has a good time. I tried to talk her into a Rappy 350 or Z400, I'm glad she didn't get on of those two otherwise it would just be sitting.
