  We present the minor-axis kinematics of ionized gas and stars for a sample of
5 spiral galaxies, which are characterized by either a zero or a shallow gas
velocity gradient along their major axis. The asymmetric velocity profiles
observed along the minor axis of NGC 4064 and NGC 4189 can be explained as due
to the presence of a bar. This is also the case of NGC 4178 where the innermost
portion of the gaseous disk is nearly face on. In NGC 4424 and NGC 4941, we
measured non-zero gas velocities only in the central regions along the minor
axis and gas velocities drop to zero at larger radii. This kinematic feature is
suggestive of the presence of an orthogonally-rotating gaseous component which
is confined in the innermost regions (i.e. an inner polar disk) to be confirmed
with integral-field spectroscopy.
