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.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
