Depends on her size I guess but a Beta alp would be good or a Serow , (thumbs)

Don't think I'd go with the Honda, even at 6ft it's pretty tall and heavy for a 250. xt250/beta alp would be a much better bet...last thing anyone who's new to riding needs is a bike that's too tall and too heavy.

The wife's 5'7/8, she's had crf230l as a staRter bike , loved it , ktm
350 freeride , great bike but not experienced enough to benefit from it at time , another crf230l, now sold to
My 6ft mate S a starter bike and she now rides a crf250l , been all over on it , great first cheap
Bike long service intervals , if heights an issue but I doubt it at six foot as that's what I am , the shock can be lowered by simply putting another hole in shock bracket. A friend skid it for his daughter but she was 5'4, the other option on same lines is the klx250 Kwaik as she's a Z girl , may appeal also
Decent first bike , then a trip
To black desert training in Wales and your sorted

A Maico 500 should sort her out, then you can say "you gave it a try love, but it's not for you"
