I would go down the route of getting 2 of the same bike...If the Daughter is keen to get on the road and not far off legal licensing age requirements then getting a street legal dual-sport might be the better long term choice...
the reasoning behind getting 2 of the same bike is parts interchangeability and 'spares'
I'm about 200pounds 5.9ft and the CG250 does not want to flip me over nor would it weigh much more than a 200c..
the basic hawk250 is the budget benchmark.
The Templar 250 X or M is hitting 6speed road leaning / 5 speed dirt leaning IMO hits the price sweetspot
The KPX250 is another step up across the price/features
after that your getting into used jap bikes...
If both teens already have riding experience I'd say they'd grow out of the 125/150cc range in a growth spurt and feel wanting...
