MSF courses around here are outrageously expensive, and they would put her on a bike that is, by her assessment, too big for her. she's aiming at something like a Super Cub or a little Vespa, not a Rebel or a TU250. She might eventually look that way once she's had a chance to ride a while, but for now she's walled it off in her mind. She's looked at the Vespa 250, but it's really more of a gag than an actual desire to buy one. basically, she's still scared of "real" motorcycles. I figure, i'd rather her play in her comfort zone than try to shove her into something she's unsure about. it would be a tragedy for me to put out this little kindle of desire to learn riding, just because I want her to jump in with both feet.
an MSF course might be more appropriate if she showed an interest in "real" motorcycles.
As far as the M goes, laughably, she can actually ride a 50CC scooter to the road test and use it, and they will let her. stupid, i know. that said, i don't think there's a great deal of difference between brining a 50 and bringing something like a super cub to the exam, and she doesn't need any of that at all if she decides to stick with a 50.
