My younger sister is looking to get her first sportbike. She wants something affordable but good looking. She's 17 years old, about 5'2, 115 lbs. I told her she should look into the new '08 250. She wants a 500, but I think she would be more comfortable on a 250 and it would be a better beginner bike. What do you guys think?

Get the 250 and go through a rider training safety course.
