Here is a picture or 3 of the bikes I picked up a month or so ago in Oregon, one of them is the TW 200, and I have to tell you with the wider tires it did a lot better in the loose gravel, but it does take some getting used to on the blacktop. Taking corners takes more lean because the bike can almost stand up by itself with out a kickstand.

deej,

I'll have to go in early one morning as they don't want us "playing" on the bikes when students are around. But I'll bet I can hang myself off one side of that TW and just about make it around in under 12 feet!

All you need to do is lean that bike way over to make it turn. Remember, the more you lean a motorcycle, the sharper it will turn!



RC,

Which school did you attend? The one by Florida Safety Council nearby?

I'm interested in knowing any other schools using the KLX250S. I thought we were the only ones that used things other than baby cruisers!

Marty,

The class room was at the Florida Safety Council in Melbourne and the riding course was on Patric AFB.

They only had one non baby cruiser and it only had 100 miles on it when I got it.
