I bet you got lots of war stories ! LOL

Sounds like a good first bike for her. That 250 is bout like a 650 back when I was 16 ! LOL My Nephew had one,sounds just like it. Very fast little bike !

My first bike was a Honda 90. LOL High and low range trans ! LOL

Yeah it's quite a gentle bike....bout like a Hooski 55.....gets the job done well enough but lackluster to run....has excellent torque with the four valve heads so it's easy to get under way with..but has the deadest powerband I've ever seen...like it's electric....pulls the same everywhere in the rpm range...makes no difference if it's turning 2,500K.. 5,000K or 12,000K ....just pulls the same.......weird....

That said.....I came the closest to getting a speeding ticket on that thing than any on of my other bikes.......was bringing it back to the garage one evening....got a wild hair and spooled her to redline every gear...just snicked into sixth at a tad over 100mph....and met a county mounty right at the top of a tiny hump in the road....EEEEK!!! Hit the binders....Looked in the mirrors......all I could see was tail lights about six feet in the air and the entire underside of that Impala..."Damnitalltohell this ain't gonna be easy to live down!!!" Was all I could think.... so I nailed it and continued on.....he musta thought I was a big Jappa and would be two towns over by the time he got turned around.....he didn't pursue.....he also didn't know I had to kick her down two gears to get over the next hill at 80-90mph!!! LOL!!!
 
I had a little 500 Ninja for awhile and wish I hadn't sold it. Great little bike for around town. Brother has one now be rides almost every day. There is nothing exciting about them, just solid dependable bikes.
