Well a Honda 250 wouldn't be carbed, and I think raw performance is less of a factor (for now) as she probably would've been happy with the sport-bike looking Chinese bike that tops out at 60mph.

More importantly, I checked the local Craigslist and found a few used CBR250R's in the range of $2700-3500, and a few older carburated Ninja 250's at around the same price and no Ninja 400's.

At the same price the Honda looks like a better bike. Will try to talk her into a cruiser though.
