If she is without experience, 250 FTW. If she has enough to get a larger CC bike, look at something like the GSXR. Your hondas and yamahas tend to be a tad taller when seated, whereas Kawis are incredibly wide, making the reach more of an issue.

You're 5'-2" and fit on Gixxer? You MUST have really long legs...or my wife has really short ones...or both. She has zero experience, so I didn't want to start her out on something that was over her head.
