I would just be worried that in a danger unexpected situation a noob rider will make a few mistakes as to the best way to avoid the danger, and as we all know these mistakes can be a lot harder to control on the bigger more powerful bikes.

Oh definitely and I would never let her take the bike out in traffic. Maybe just up and down my 25mph street, that's all. Yeah if she had to do a panic stop on this bike after practicing on a nighthawk, she'd do a stoppie for a about 2 seconds before she flipped the bike on top of her.
Oh and just for the record, I saw 120mph in 3rd gear this morning on the way to work.
I looked down saw how fast I was going and had to shut it down in a hurry. If anyone is looking for the ultimate track rig.... Look no further.

Werd. I know I need to hold my ground on this issue. She wont let it go though. ... Not letting her ride the bike may be the end of us....
