A geared model I believe is the way to go, but I would be inclined to wait until she is 17 to go on the road and get a real 125.
I started off my kids on a Yamaha TW125, but then I had farmers fields near where I live (biking farmers) where they could practice their skills before venturing on the road. Stopping on grass especially when wet certainly teaches them how to brake smoothly :lol
Youngest took a lot of tumbles in the fields until he discovered, speed does not always get you to the end quicker when they used to race around the fields on a Serow and the TW125.
I believe it was the best way to go as when they took to the roads they were then able to concentrate on the building up of their road craft without have to figure out how to ride at the same time.
