I just put a new H.I.D. light system on it and I have a new body kit on the way that looks almost exactly the same as the old one. I have 12 helmets sitting in my living room and 10 jackets in the closet sharing company with 5 sets of riding boots. I guess that if it makes her happy, it's worth it.

Naw I'm all for adding an exhaust for whatever the reason, but at the end of the day chances are the bike is gonna be traded or sold within a year once she gets the feel of it and wants to upgrade, or she puts it down, in which case you may want to put the new exhaust on when the old one is all mangled.

Just try and tell her to hold off on it till next spring when she has a better feel of the bike and some experience.

Oh yeh, and its still a 250!
