She actually did really well! Only stalled it three times.

As far as the new bike thing, it's a really good learning bike for her. The thing only weighs 225 lbs ready to ride. It's almost like riding a bicycle with a motor in it. Also, the way Honda designed it, not much damage will be done from a low speed drop. In a lot of ways this thing is setup like a dual-sport. It's entirely covered in dual-sport like plastics. Whole fairing kits can be had for $200 online! Realistically though, it's a cheap bike and I'll just live with some scratches.
