Are you an android fan?
Whilst is better, yes.
It could have been an Android. Not much difference, these days.

Hope she had a good case for the phone, at least.

Thanks for all the info/feedback. Both will take a course before I buy them one, and they both get an earful of safety every time we are out riding. They have both been riding with me since they were tiny. I am kinda leaning towards the 150, but i have another year to decide. I have them learning on the Forza, so if they can handle that, the 150 shouldn't be too much....time will tell, again thanks for all the feedback......

They will be learning on the Forza?
I hope their legs are longer than mine or they'll be tipping them over
(but then again I'm a petite height female).

Yep--I have bent knees holding up the Silver Wing, but couldn't flat-foot the Forza in the showroom.
My daughter is 5'10" and has legs long enough for a full-size adventure bike. (I'm jealous!)

When we tried to sit on the Forza in the showroom the seat was so wide that I had a time touching the floor flat foot. My wife, who is only 5 ft. tall, couldn't touch the ground without getting off of the seat. I hope your daughters have long legs. I don't think it is a good idea to teach them on such a large bike. When it wants to fall over, it will fall over. Why not teach them how to ride on a 50cc rented scooter, and then move up to a larger one? It takes a lot of confidence to hold up a Forza when you are new to biking.

Renting a scoot around here is impossible. I rather expect, however, that a 50cc could be found on your local Craigslist for short money.

The baby is only an inch shorter than me, so no worries for her. My oldest is short, but she has no problem at all with it.
