I got my TTR for 500. Now I don't see them for under a G usually.

You don't want to scare her off riding, you only get one chance to hook and reel her in.
I started my wife off in a flat field learning to start and stop. I put out two cones and had her practice racing up to each before stopping hard. After a couple of sessions we threw in a bump halfway down one straight so she could get a little air. When she was finally comfortable hitting that little bump at higher speeds she graduated to a junior track.
I think the main reason our sport is not growing is that new riders have to start on expert only tracks. It's too easy to get discouraged right off the bat and never go back after some fast kid jumps over your head.

Shouldn't have a problem getting your money back in a year or two.
What was the PO doing with that back tire and a knobby front?
My wife had ridden once when we met and she said she wanted a bike. I was going to go the 4 stroke play bike route but she wanted to do jumps. I ended up getting her an rm125 and had the suspension lowered 50mm both ends. That allowed her to touch tip toes both sides and she is only light.
Imo a trail bike for the desert and fox raceway would suck. They are heavy with shit brakes and shit suspension. A proper bike with good brakes and suspension will be much more enjoyable to ride even if you have to tame the engine initially

So as most women like pretty things I ordered a full set of black plastics and skda graphics, new grips, bar pad and seat cover from skda with the lace look I started with one of their designs and girlieafied it and the wife loves it
The last 4 years she been on a RM85 big wheel that we still have I’ve found the size and power of the big wheel 85’s seems to be perfect for a lot of adult ladies that’s aren’t quite ready for a full sized bike due to the weight if they drop them.
Thats a waste of money.
We can't afford that.
Get your own way to the hospital.
I told you so!

My wife has been hoping to find another rider to ride with on occasion that's more her speed (beginner/slower) and a girl.
