She rides a bob-tailed Honda 350? Wow.

I had a CB350 that remains my all-time favorite bike. There was a balance, somehow...big enough to move, but small enough not to let you forget you were moving. Seeing these pictures makes me want another one. Rational brain...engaging…

Smaller bikes are a terrible lot of fun. I started riding on a 125 at the local motorcycle dealer, but it wouldn’t pull me up hills. Switched to a 250, and had a blast. Both dual-sports, both really maneuverable.

I nearly bought Honda’s 600CC v-twin Hawk, but I looked ridiculous on it (my head rode forward of the front axle). I was just too big, but that bike was FUN in stop-and-go urban/suburban traffic.

Buying too much horsepower, too much weight ... really puts the kibosh on sheer fun.
