welcome to KF

 

Welcome Malcolm, good to have you here. So you want a 250 huh? Why not get the 250 that will give you more options of where you can ride? Look at the KLX man, I'm just saying. Hehehe

 

Welcome to KF! Better get a 250 Ninja with a heater on it where you live, do they make those??????????
Enjoy your new ride and dont hit any bears. I lived in Machias for 1 1/2 years and there were bears everywhere. I always thought, man if you hit a bear on a bike, it would **** him off and he would probably eat you as soon as you stopped sliding. Man that would suck huh?

 

Welcome to KF! I hear the 250R is a fun ride.

 

not so many bears... moose, deer, and lately turkeys everywhere
