You can help - but only with a loan. She is now old enough to understand the meaning of money and the effort made to earn it. You should put her on a repayment schedule (no need to charge interest if you are well off enough to ignore it) and keep her to it. On top of repayments she will need to maintain the thing herself. Sit her down and explain in detail the costs of registration, insurance, CTP, petrol, servicing and repairs; tell her that if she damages the machine or if it breaks down then it will be up to her to pay any insurance excess and/or repair costs.
She just might think twice.
