2nd cbr 500 I had the x in 2002 great little bike back then, even managed to grind the pellets int he twistys
However after having an ex who also rode I vowed never to ride with a partner again as your always looking in the mirrors thinking is she coming round the corner. Oh dear she is not. Or oh dear I just watched her dive off a road and through two trees

It may be just me but I've never thought of bikes being gender pacific, and as for the bike it totally depends on what your doing with it. but a great bike let alone a first 'Adventure' bike would be the CRF250 Adventure, few of the group I ride with have them and they seem to tick a fair few boxes.

How about a Kawasaki Versys 300 X. Nice and light, quite good off-road, so they say, ans good on road. Also quite cheap.

My Wife passed 2 years ago and bought an MT07, great bike and very forgiving for a new rider, she's done nearly 3k miles on it.

I would suggest a BMW F700GS.
I also happen to have a mint one for sale.

If she's 6' tall there's no reason any middle weight bike wouldn't suit a new rider whatever their sex.

She’s sold on the cmx500, likes both feet flat on the floor, going for the bad-ass harley look despite it not having much luggage options..
Her honda list in order
Cmx500
Cb650
Nc750
Nc750x
Also went to triumph and Ducati, she didn’t like any, grand son and i enjoyed the triumph visit though :/)
