Hi,
I rented 2 KLX 250 last weekend for me and my gf. I never drove this bike before, but a lot of other bikes (had a Yamaha Fazer 1000 back home), and never had a bike that tall. I'm average size (1m76), pretty light (about 65kg) and could just touch the ground with the tip of my toes when on the bike. So imagine my gf, had to help her get on the bike cause it was too high.
Is this a suspension issue (cause it's a rented bike they may have set the suspension hard) or is the klx250 so high in general?
Wanted to go offroad with my gf, but she doesn't feel confortable at all with such a tall bike, is there any alternative (thought about the klx 140 but can't find it to rent anywhere)?
Cheers for advises.
