Your Bikes

I love my BMW sport bike, but I admit that I am shopping for another motorcycle that is less extreme in terms of riding position. Yep, I'd like some comfort in the next motorcycle, and there are SO many bikes that I'd love to own.

If you are a woman with a motorcycle, please consider sharing your bike with the rest of us. Let us know the make and model, and some information about what makes you love it so.. It's your motorcycle, tell us why you picked it.

Me and My BMW!

Then, bookmark this page, or ask for a notification of other responses - and come back and read about the other women and the motorcycle that they love to ride!

If you are a woman motorcyclist, and you are riding what you believe is one of the "best bikes" for women, send me a note and let us all know!

I'll post all submissions that are consistent with the content of "Her-Motorcycle.com" - so just keep it clean, and you'll see your story once I've had a chance to review it.
