A 450 Lead Sled????  For a 16 year old girl????  Give her a break,
look for an old CB350 or 360.  Probably even better, look for a 
175 or 200.  The 450 weighed a ton and tore up chains with
the torquey tractor engine.  A 350 series, or even a Hawk 400, 
makes a lot more sense.

I had a CL175 for 3 years, my first "I own it all by myself" bike.
I think a smaller bike to start is a good idea.
