You should check out getting a corbin seat for the bike. Boots are ok, but depending how big they are might cause issue shifting or getting to the brake lever. Try to stay away from lowering the bike itself.

The 250 forks won't allow the front to be adjusted like that.
I was also going to look at a Buell Blast. It might not have the build quality of some of the others but it has a seat height that is about five inches lower than both the 650 and the 250.

If you can lower the rear you can always drop the forks and inch in the triple tree for the time being to match the lowered rear until she gets used to the bike.
