She drives a '79 mini, did a body off a few years back and put a 1275 cooper motor in it, cam, weber downdraft, heads, pistons and header. Makes about 100 hp. What a hoot to drive, when she lets me. This year we bought a '71 30' Trojan boat, classic lines real 60's- early 70's vibe. Just too much fun. Anyway, the bike looks great. I don't think I'll send this thread to my wife or she'll have me looking for one for her.
Peace out.

We own a 2013 Monster 1100evo Diesel. It’s basically my wife’s bike and I ride a Diavel. It’s always fun to switch because despite 60 less HP (Diavel is a beast), the Monster weighs like 100lbs less so it’s very fast and agile. It’s a perfect naked bike IMO. She has no problem keeping up with me except in the straights where I can pull away.
This is a cool project and something like this would be a nice third motorcycle for me. We looked at the Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer but it uses the older 797 and I wish it had the 821 instead. I’m also in love with the Hyperstrada.
