She just began learning so when she takes the BRC she will take some pictures and post them. I been teaching her to ride almost every night so hopefully MSF won't be too hard for her. Thanks for welcoming her to the forum.

If they are using Rebel 250s or Eliminator 125s she'll be fine. On the 250R the course is HARD (larger turning radius and higher center of gravity)

Too bad you guys aren't in Tampa I could hook you up on the BRC and then ERC

it's not that bad on the 250r, when i took it with riders choice I was on a ninja 250 (the only ninja 250 they had, the rest were el 125's,gz250's and a dr200. i think the only reason they let me use is the 250 is because before class started they saw me dicking around on there course on my ninja 500)

haha if i had a 250r instead of their suzuki cruiser, I probably wouldn't have botched the u-turns as badly. I find it easier (first day ever on it, I thought that) to ride than those cruisers!

No you would have, more then likely you would have done much worse. Those figure 8 u-turns they have you do inside a box are butter on the suzuki gz 250. By this point i've ridden all the bikes they had there and even worked on a few for them, did valve adjustment ect.
Those EL125's and gz250's are butter I scraped pegs the first time i did it on the EL125. Thought it was cool as ****. If you have trouble on those cruisers you need a little more seat time.
