It really depends on your wife, man.

Some are far more averse to motor stuff in the house.  I know mine is.  When we were in NYC, I once received a motor on a pallet -- in our apartment.  It was only in the house for 2 days and then I moved it to the workshop, but wow, she was pissssssed.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I think you really need to buy her her own unreliable bike, so you can share quality time working on them.
