Really? A 250? My baby girl, all 4’11” of her started on a Honda Rebel. She wants a Wideglide for her 18th. She dreams a lot.
Well, that’s your opinion, my opinion is that a 250 has too much power for a beginner who may not be able to handle it. Anything lighter than a 150 doesn’t have the power and weight to get you out of trouble, but imho, a 250 cc with that much power can be stupid if you don’t know how to handle it.
