Can't argue with that, the new 250's caught MY eye, too, when I was looking Well, if she decides she wants to save money and buy a bike that's drop-resistant, you know where to look Barring that, the bikes Casper linked to on CL are good deals, because normally the 08+'s are upwards of $3,000+... he found some in the 2's, so that looks like your best bet. Good luck, and enjoy
