Ok, my fiance has has had her cbt for 22 months, and has gained a lot of experience on her 125, and now feels like getting her full A licence.
She's passed her theory test so I want to get her a bike to get her thru her tests on, she's not tall so thinking ER5 or a gladius but any other suggestions,
Literally just to get her licence and then sell on so doesn't need to be a keeper.
Budget around 2.5k ideally
Main plus points
Needs low seat height, easily maneuverable and big enough to do her full A test on..
Unfortunately my himalayan isn't enough bhp for the tests otherwise I'd just lend her that..

ER5 is no good for full A test. Gladius or SV isn't a bad shout, though.

Why strap yourself onto a bike that is useless after test?
Cheaper option would be to pay the day hire of a school.
Maybe two days to familiarise oneself.
Then use the freedom of not owning a shite bike to pick a nice love it long-time bike?

ER6F is a weapon and plenty stylish for a lady person.

Ok to answer the obvious.. she's quite happy to keep her 125, but her father has several old classics which he would like her to ride to the shows etc so she needs to get her full licence to do so, and obviously it also opens up her choice of bikes too..
She gets very flustered with training etc so we think she will be far better on her own bike to do tests etc
