Default My wife wants to ride. What about the S40?

This is my first real post on this forum and it looks like a good place to hang out. Wy wife blew me away the other day and said she wants to ride a street bike. She has some riding time on my 80cc dirt bike. We were looking for something bigger when she blew me out of the water and sat on a GZ250. She said it felt good and light enough that she could pick it up if she dropped it. I would like to get her on something that could keep up with my Triumph Bonneville America. I had her sit on the S40 and I think she could handle the wieght but I'm not sure about the power. I'm also concerned with the vibration factor. Do you guy's think it would be a good choice for her first bike?
