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.

Okay but what was your "reasoning" for starting so "big"? What was your mindset? Oh and how do you know that she can't "utilize" what she already has? Have you been riding with my gf when I wasn't around?...
This may be one time that Azoom agrees with me but I've honestly seen teenage kids get on both dirt bikes and on the track and ride faster than people that have been doing it for years! Seriously, the kids that are competing in the Red Bull rookie's cup are probably faster than all of us on here... some people have talent. Some people don't need a year or three to get it...
