Good point, and applies to the 2-fiddy as well. It forces you to work it to maintain momentum, and isn't necessarily easy. And you can still overcook a corner, it's just not as likely to overwhelm a new rider nearly as easily as they're trying to figure out and increase cornering speeds.


Tig - this is what you said in your first post:

I can understand where keeping a 250 wound-out all the time gets old, especially considering your flat-land location. It's just the 'get a bike with more power to go faster and not get left behind' thing that jumped out at me. I know you're concerned about her & will do your best to help her stay safe though - hell, she's probably going to be better off than most of us guys jumping on whatever as our first bike and immediately acting like fools & getting in over our heads!

Any confirmation on whether she's actually lost the money or not?
