Thats a really big (heavy) bike and a really small person to be learning on it. I believe it could be too steep of a learning curve, you hear stories all the time of people buying them, never get the hang of it or comfortable on it then it sits in the garage. She could kill herself, no doubt about it but thankfully odds are against it because it cant kill her if its sitting in the garage... but it COULD happen.

Buy on older, small bike to learn on. They are affordable, even if she just bought a big bike and had to borrow money to get it. The little bikes depreciate and then just hold value as long as she dont drop it of course. She (or you) can buy it this year for a grand or less and sell it for the same price next year, only thing you are out is the price of title, tages and insurance but you are going to be paying that anyway on the big bike.

If she resists getting a 250 like you recommended before, just ask her if she wants to ride a bike or if she just wants to own it (while it sits in the garage)? If she gets a small bike and learns, she stands a chance of working her way up someday. If she dont, that bike will likely be in the same spot in the garage 10 years from now with maybe 1,000 more miles on it.

Good luck and ride safe, both of you.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
