THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT OPINION ON THE BIKE, WELL TAKEN!!
im no stranger to motorcycles, i have had them all my life, just thought i could get some insight on the good traits, and shortcomings of the bike. i no its a great first bike for her, thats a fact, but really looking for some feedback from other riders with a similar bike, but thanks for the advise.

Its a great beginner bike and seems to be one of the more popular bikes in use for the MSF courses.

pretty comparable to the honda rebel but the rebel has more power

I rode the gz250 in my MSF course last summer. I thought it was a really nice ride and, actually considered one for myself. The manufacturer says that they get approximately 82 mpg. It seemed pretty resonsive and, definitely could take a beating considering the one I rode in the course was 2 years old. Sorry I don't have more input but, the gz was my first ride.

Hope she likes it and you two have some wonderful times side by side.
