I'd definitely stay away from the Vstar 650 and even the 750 Honda if you're
going to ride 2-up, unless your gf likes to push. The Triumphs would be an
excellant choice. While not cruisers, they capture traditional motorcycle
looks in a modern package. If you want to go honda or Yammy, go with at
least an 1100. You should be able to find one in your price range and both
bikes are reliable, albiet a bit sluggish.
