I look at Kawasaki’s KLX250SM, the SuMo or Super Moto which offers a very entry level option, with great accessibility, restrained power and a pretty low seat height for this style of bike.
At 180 cm and with a 32 inch inseam the bike was a great fit, light, low and ultra manageable, as an experienced rider, but that should mean an inviting package for new riders too.
