    Any love for the KLX250S? That bike has always tempted me to open up the check book.

    theyre cool... just way too small imo

    to get good grunt out of them you have to up the gearing but then you have
    top speed of 70ish so your screaming on the highway...


    i'm 6'4 and 270lbs. so keep that in mind...

    Bummer but there'll be another. Oh and the other good thing? The ones for sale during the rainy season will be cheaper.

    Congrats man. I just sold the bike in my sig and my next one is gonna be a super moto. I wish I rode dirt bikes when I was younger so that I would know how to throw one of these around better.

    Yea,I'm late on this......alot depends on your inseam.Some goofs swear this has nothing to do with riding a motorcycle;in part their right.But,if you want to ride safely,don't go overboard,if you can't get the feet(notice this is a plural statement)down,don't do it.Balance and stability is a good thing,do not listen to the overcompensating macho inbred idiots!...be safe!.
