My other half passed her full test last year and her first 'big' bike was a Triumph Street Triple R.100hp ish. Bought mainly due to it being lowered and light (she's 5' 2" and 7 stone). Insurance no problem. She later decided that she wanted heated grips, some luggage carrying capability, well handbag and shoes.! So she bought an F650GS off this parish 75hp ish and upon changing the insurance, received a £50 refund. Now whilst the GS seat height is low, she finds it very difficult to wheel around etc and it feels too heavy. Sooo now she has a Honda CB500F 47hp. Same insurance company won't insure her 'because it's a sports bike'...!!! Can anyone explain this madness?
