First bike for 16 year old daughter?

A friend of mine is in the same situation with a similarly aged son.

Dad has said he can pretty much have any bike he wants...as long as it's a 250...and he rides for 2 years on the track before he gets his license.

Seems like a logical solution to me.

I'm pretty happy with the 125cc rule in Europe, keeps the speed down for young beginners and lets them get used to driving on light and more forgiving motorcycles.

That should save her from mistakes with her right wrist.

At least in Europe drivers are more aware of motos. I think that helps.

Has to be Honda Rebel 250 , my wife is only 4'10  and my 11 years old daughter also rides it they are really great learner bikes.

Have you seen the Suzuki TU250?  I read a few good reviews about it as a beginings bike.  I think it is a good looking machine.

That Suzuki 250 is the first nice 250 standard we've seen in the US in a long time.
