Just bought this for the wife to start riding. Going Saturday to pick it up. Then the fun part of teaching her to ride it. Thankfully she's not a total newb. Her and her sister had some kind of little bike when they were kids. I think it was a Honda 70 or a cub or similar. Once I get the basics she'll probably take the MSF course.
Congrats on the new bike. I hope your wife enjoys it.
An MSF course is a good idea.
