Hey, this is my 1st post.
After only starting to ride 2 years ago, learning on the good ol Gn250. I have finally got myself a kawa KLE500, and... I love it.. I am not a giant but i was a lil to big for the gn, from pushing the bike so hard just to sit a 90km. I great just to be able to relax a lil and actually enjoy the riding and the scenery.(get my full in febuary)
I am now only hoping for a DRY calm summer so i can get in as much riding as i can, see you on the roads.

Welcome to the madhouse. There was someone else new to the forum recently that was keen on the KLE as well (Sheba).

Welcome! Hope you have a fantastic summer riding and getting your full.

Yeah, I'm interested in the KLE, but being a pre-newbie, wannabe really, I know I need a 250 bike (guess they are called KLX instead). But I've heard so much about a GN250 being the best for learners. Would you really suggest that as being a first step to learning like you did, then moving on to the bike I really want?

Hey yeah i think if have never ridin b4, it would be a great bike, its not really a 100kmp/h bike but it would be great in the city or for short country rides great to learn how to corner on. I think great untill u get ur restricted then u will may want to get something a little more powerfull that will keep u in the flow of traffic easyier...being a learner having an L plate on i use to find these pricks in cars sitting on my arse doing dodgy passes pretty much trying to knock me of ma bike. if i had started on maybe a ninja 250 or something not so low on the horsepower, i wouldnt have got bored of it so fast and i would of been able to pull away from dangerous car driver....probley straight into a power poll..
