I would reccomend you buy what ever bike your friends at the beach are going to be like "wow cool look at jenna she is such a bad ass girl she owns a motorcycle". I don't think we have to worry about her killing herself because she is not ready if she is not even going to ride the damn thing. Hell she is willing to enertain the new 250 just because it looks so hot and its sooo cheap like 3500 dollars is chump change or something. Your not a squid you are a poseur but thats okay motorcycles are soo hot right now....

Stop being bike nazis and give the girl some advice about 600's. Hell a lot of us started off on older 600s and some on newer 600s. She has been riding for a little bit and she has been riding dirt for awhile. She will be fine.

Hondas - reliable, honda goes out of their way to make em a pain in the ass to work on.

Suzuki - squid bike of choice, fairings on the new one are confusing to get on and off, easier to work on

Yam - don't know much about them in the older forms

Kawa - 636 or nothing from this manufacturer.

You both don't have 600SS bikes, which is what we are talking about. No way in hell I would ever buy the Kawa in the 600 form in it's current shape compared to other manufacturer's 600s.
