Mandi's struggling with the weight and size of the Honda. It's lowered as much as the bike allows, (although I now see there's a fitting that allows the spring to sit further up the shock), but with her failing joints she has a hard time getting on, off and paddling it around. It is bloody heavy. She's already looking at a commuter bike but wants to keep the CBF, I'd rather she got one bike for all as we're tight on space and might have to part with one of mine.
So what's out there which is already low, light and can take luggage.
