Debating adding new bikes to stable

Just throwing a feeler out there to see what everyone suggests. I currently ride a 999 mono and my wife rides my old '03 CBR600rr. I have been looking at what to add to this mix, but not sure what I want. The one definite is that they will be European bikes. My wife showed interest in the Monsters and the Streetfighter so I might be going that route for her. Lady riders please chime in with your suggestions. She is pretty tall, about 5'9" before she puts on the heels. Me, I am definitely going to get another litre bike, but am sort of stuck on what to get. I sat on the new Aprilia and the 1098/1198. I have not had time to really test ride to compare. I figured I would do it before I was ready to pull the trigger and when I had more of an idea which one I wanted. So please give me your feedback ladies and gents.
 
For her: Triumph Triple 675

You: 1198S, Aprillia, BMW, or MV Agusta F4

Decisions decisions...tough choice...good luck
 
Most definitely Wa11er. I never thought about the Triumph for her. The only thing is that she would probably frown and say it is too much like the CBR...lol. She is picky!!
 
I have a couple friends that are girls that love there Triumph, very light and good bike overall... but fair warning they do not crash good... at all!
 
749's are nice, just a heads up R6's and 675's are prone to catching on fire because the tank is vulnerable to puncture in a crash. Other than that, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Ducati... can't really go wrong... I personally love the R6 but would not have one because I like my bike to be a bike and not a BBQ

this was at the last AFM race at thunderhill last week, pretty regualr scene with the Yamaha's
 
Thanks luke. I think that may be the route I go if she decides on getting a Duc. I would put her on my 999, but I have a lot of personal wrench time into her.
