Exactly my point. I never stated anything to the effect of 'everyone should start on a 250' or that one must 'max out' their current bike before upgrading. I can understand wanting more power/speed (especially if she's riding long distances at interstate speeds), better suspension/brakes, etc (and I agree, the stock suspension needs help). But the 'bored with it' and 'tired of being left behind' reasoning after just a few months reeks of an inexperienced rider not yet capable of utilizing what she already has (I'm not saying 'maxing out') & wanting to jump on a supersport so she can 'go faster'. With plenty of respect, she'll hopefully do just fine going that route, as plenty of others have also (myself included, as I started on an F3). But it's still not good reasoning. IMO.
