well after looking at the ninja 250 and the ninja 500 i went to the dealer to get one. but after looking at the klx250s and riding it I took it home. what a great machine this is for a newbie like me. i'm 48 and the only bike i've ever had was back in the 80's a ft500 honda. this thing is good on the hwy to, rides very nice i can see over everybody and that's imporent when cars are stops up ahead. to bad the break in is 500 miles this bike and me are ready for a trip to the mountains. thanks Ron[sm=happy046.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Welcome and just for kicks read the article on the mototune site under break-in secrets, Oh and your not the only newbie, my last dirt type machine was a 85 suzuki quadracer. I'm 42 and loving every minute of this bike. Have fun and stay safe.

Congrats on the bike Ron! Don't forget to take lots of pics and post them.

 

Ron,

Congrats on the new bike. I know it will do you well as it has done so for me. I'm quite impressed with my KLX250 and intend to keep it around for a long time.

Being a newer rider, I would suggest that you take one of the excellent courses offered by MSF. I teach the courses on a regular basis and see so many folks each weekend that have decided to take a course. If I could only videotape the first and second day so they coule see the changes in their abilities in that short of a time.

It is worth the money!

 

Congrats and welcome Ron

 

Geat bike, great choice. Congrats and welcome.
