What's a good moped for a girl that does 65mph?

Not to be a dick but if you don't think she could handle the Blast then she probably shouldnt get a bike. The Blast is what they use on a lot of Motorcycle training courses.
 
I got Blast for my girlfriend for Christmas. Scooters are kinda lame... She IS real beginner - never ridden anything before (just bicycles) not even a car with manual and yesterday she was doing pretty good clutching/taking off in the alley.
 
She is not the most coordinated on two wheels. I started on a bmx then moped, dirt bike, sporty, chopper, then Buell. I just think a Blast is even too much for her.

I know we all are avid, crazy buellers but my wife has an sv650 which was her first bike and she had never even ridden a dirt bike!! She said she recommends one of them for a beginner.
 
RT perf started me on a blast last summer bc he said if I dropped it then it wouldn't be noticeable damage or we could just buff scratches out. We found a used 2007 for $1400 and by the end of the summer we sold it for $1800 and that was after I had put 5k miles on it. I loved it. I kept up with the bigger bikes pretty well except for uphill straights.


Whatever u get I would say go cheap bc that will take the stress of dropping it and wasting $5000 off of her. Just saying... That's why I Didnt want to start out on rt's lighting.
 
blast and upgrade the exhaust, riden with a few of them b4 and unless its highway running they can keep up pretty good.
[up][up]on the not much to break if you drop idea
 
You could look for an old Honda cb125-175. Those bikes are pretty tiny and will get her up to 65mph, but not too much more.

I had an ex250 a while ago and it was pretty beginner friendly. Low seat and light weight.
 
also not trying to sound like a bitch but if dont think she will do well then u shouldn't be the one to teach her. She is going to need alot of reassurance and patience that she can do it even if u have to tell her that over and over when she gets frustrated, otherwise its gonna be alot of arguing and giving up.
 
I traded my honda ruckus for my buell. I build them and swap the motors, and have got over 70mph.
