I couldn't find a half decent geared bike when my eldest was coming up to 16. Ended up getting a twist and go which helped him learn about the road rather than struggling with gears for the first few days. Probably kept him safer as there was nowhere for him to practice off-road before he became 16.
At 17 he was on a Yamaha YBR125 then passed his test and moved up to a 33bhp restricted Kwaka ER-5. As soon as his restricted licence became unrestricted he moved to a slow blue FZS600.
Whatever you do, avoid the Chinese bikes. Probably worth giving the Italian ones a wide berth too if she wants to use it every day :pokefun
