My girlfriend has recently become more intersted in possibly joining the ranks of the "riders of motorcycles", as I think she has gotten a taste of the fun that can be had by just riding on the back of a motorcycle. She expressed a curiousity that she may want to learn how to ride and ride along side, rather on the back, one day. So, this brings me to trying to find someone who has a 50-100cc dirtbike I could buy for her to learn on, at the expense of my back lawn. I'd like to find a very physically small bike that would normally fit a pre-teenager so that she is not intimidated by "being on a big motorcycle", etc. Something she could all but stand up and hop off of if she felt she needed to, versus running into my nice vinyl siding. 
Does anyone have one they're looking to get rid of?
Ultimately, once she gains a basic understanding of how to operate a motorcycle I intend on having her take a local MSF course from Drake Univ. or some such. I'm anticipating her slipping into a Honda Rebel 250 or a Yamaha Virago 250 as a first bike. If she sees it through and actually learns to ride, she'll likely be a cruiser-bike chick over a sportbike chick. Just not her style. She doesn't prefer the riding position of sportbikes and has said she'd like something she can sit comfortably on and...well...cruise.
