We looked at the CBR500R but the ABS version is not inexpensive. That said, I do like the bike, but it's about 75 lbs. heavier than the G310R (350 lbs. wet), which, along with a low seat height, is the most important consideration for the 5'4" gal who'll be riding it. That's where the Monster 620 is a winner (<30" seat height, 375 lbs. wet), but its APTC slipper clutch is horrendous. It's really difficult to launch and gearshifts are annoying clunky.
