So my eldest daughter passed her mod 2 bike test yesterday so bringing another biker into the fold. She's bought herself a Fantic 500 Rally Explorer which she picks up tomorrow and can't wait to go and find adventure with her other half (he's on a Triumph Scrambler).

That's great, @Helmut Visor! It's always good to see another biker enter the fold, and from my perspective, especially another woman rider. Please pass along my best wishes to her for a long riding career from another woman rider. That's a sweet looking bike she's on, too.
@Helmut Visor, has your daughter been out on her new Fantic again yet? I've searched out a few reviews of her new bike and it sounds like a great choice! How did she choose that bike? I hope she thoroughly enjoys her new riding career!
Hi Sandi, yes she's been out a couple of times and really loves it. She was looking for a bike where she can do some light off roading (her husband has a Triumph Scrambler 1200 and has been doing Motocross since forever) but still had enough power to not be struggling to keep up with the road speeds comfortably. It also had to be reasonably small as she is only about 5' 1" and a slight build, like a real person but smaller She says it's really balanced and whilst it is slightly tall for her she can cope because of the balance. She's enjoying not having to wring it's neck to make 60mph like her old 125cc Mutt bike and says that it is just far easier all round to ride. In short she's very happy with her choice
@Helmut Visor, thanks for the update on your daughter and her bike...and biking! I'm so glad to read that she's loving it. It sounds like her new motorcycle is perfect for her, especially right now. I hope she continues to love her bike and to have lots of fun riding and that she enjoys the learning process as she rides more and more.
