Got it. Not to boar you with another picture of a 300, I did my first 52 miles around Pauxsutaney...or however you spell it.... chnaged the oil and trucked it home. Go it nice and dirty, scratched the plastic a little and never got above 6k. All the stuff kawi says about the bike is true...mid range is nicely improved but I do not like the slipper clutch...not used to it. In person....it's a really pretty bike. The 140 looks huge, FI is nice-er than the carb. The oil fllter is very easy to reach.I cant tell too much because I rode her gently but I think...I dunno....if it can take the whippin' the 250 did then it's going to be fun. If the 250 qualified as a beginner bike just because it had a small motor, then this is even better because the clutch is feather light and it has that mid range. From the sound of the pipes , the light clutch....the little lever that lets you blink HI.....even the reasonably un-ugly duck tail....it's a polite little bike.
