And I understand cruisers are perfect for a lot of people, but she seemed to really want a “dirt bike” and a wr250r has been my dream bike since I was probably 7-8

The 46, or 47 recommendation is in the same ballpark as a 45 rear. Dan said that he would recommend not going to a lower tooth count rear than a 45 with a 17 front. More teeth on a rear sprocket gears it lower, more on the front gears it higher, but at a lot faster rate. Say that if one tooth difference on the rear equals 2%, then one tooth on the front would equal around 6% difference.
