she will tire of it quickly. It's great to have available to you, but not to own.

Nope..not something I'd want to ride to Alaska on. But there are two issues:

Beginner...
Small stature....

In Europe, these and the Derbis are THE beginner bikes...for a reason....they go, stop and handle like REAL bikes and a competent rider on one can embarrass a mediocre rider on a larger bike.

I had this one out in October on the twisty backroads near the Potomac where top speeds seldom go above 70 and other riders were STUNNED it was a 50cc bike.......

On top of that you have 31 outdoor kart sprint (read road) courses in Florida...most of which host YSR and 49, 72 and 90cc racing. Not to mention the full size courses there...........

I have friends of mine in Pittsburg who had the same issues, till she started racing one two years ago at Beaver Run....now she puts other riders to shame on the road with her lowered 750 Monster.........
