Not having a bike since 2018 tells me you haven’t ridden for quite sometime. Going to a spyder with no experience in riding one can be challenging and discouraging at same time. To give yourself and your lady friend a fair chance to feel comfortable and to give yourselves the feeling that you made a good decision, I would recommend a used RTL. There are sometimes good deals show up on this forum to take an advantage of. Anything less than a RTL for two up riding may not serve you the best experience and find yourselves turned off.
