Default Little sister wants to ride

So I got a message from my little sister today, all it said was 2007 Suzuki GSXR 600. That's it, absolutely nothing else, not even a question mark. My first thought was "OK it's Suzuki's little supersport." My second thought was "What the fuck are you asking, or are you even asking me a question?" Apparently she found one for sale, and wants to get into riding. Not a problem says I. I know that she's better off than some people because she learned the mechanics and controls of a bike on my Suzuki DS80. Now unless I'm horribly mistaken, she hasn't ridden anything in the last 10 years (since the day she ran my 80 head on into a box spring mattress flat out in 4th gear). I've told her the basic stuff like take the MSF and I'm trying to steer her away from the supersports and toward something like a GS500 or SV650.

I guess I'm still a little bemused that she wants a somewhat detuned racebike with lights for her first streetbike.

But he didnt start out on that bike and until the last year or so was a cruiser rider... and a better one I doubt you'll find.

Mikey, LITTLE supersport? Dont make me kick your ass...(or steal parts of a certain Honda sitting in my garage)

Hey sister why you all alone?
I'm standing out your window
Hey little sister can I come inside there
Up on the shelf you are my love
I want to be the only one
I know you like nobody ever, baby


Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow
Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow

You whisper secrets in my ear
Slowly dancing cheek to cheek
Such a sweet thing when you open up, baby
They say I'll only do you wrong
Come together cause I understand
Just who you really are yeah, baby

Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow

Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow

Why thank you, Rae. I didn't know I was that good on X.

And yes dear, little supersport. But don't feel bad, because my little supersport is no bigger than your little supersport.

And cutty, you have no room to talk about riding full fledged V-twin race bikes.
