Off the top I can remember 2 ninja 250s and a Seca that have been wrecked this way. The amount of work that Tiffany had to put in just to keep up on her 250 was hilarious... :-) I will never agree that the crappy suspension/brake parts on a starter bike is a positive.....

Yup.

I mean, I appreciate a small bike for the giggle factor. And, I don't mind my daughter riding hers around town. But, fuuuuuuuu getting on the freeway in its stock form. I don't want them on something that I wouldn't want to ride myself.

No one appreciates being preached to. And, after being preached to and left behind they will only take it as someone trying to make them look dumb or slow.
