A few years ago, I bought an EX250 to expose my daughters to motorcycling. They both learned to ride, but the interest did not develop. Meanwhile, I found having a light sporty bike was a good complement to the C10.
Recently sold the EX250 to a rider starting out and replaced it with a Suzuki SV650S. This is for sunny Sunday afternoon rides along the Ottawa and Gatineau Parkways and popping down to Home Depot.
