I got to agree with dunefreak on his post...my wife has a warrior 350 great bike to learn on. But definitely not a hill shooter... For opening weekend, I let her take my LTR out, and see loved it...See said that it was more comfortable to ride and felt a lot safer on it....By the end of the trip she was dunning some pretty big stuff and got to climb comp hill 3/4 the way up, and was so excited about it....Because this is more of a guys sport and want are other half to enjoy it as much as we do..Don't under power them, and if you got some patience too teach them on a one on one basis...They will get it, and be a little more excited about the next trip out
