Hi kawans, just rode my bike to the office today for the first time ever. Reflecting back to when I first started this thread up till today, I want to thank everyone for your advice and also thoughts on things.

It's been a journey getting on the bike and 'putt-putting' around in first gear around the taman to getting on the highway today.

I'm sure there are many more things to learn but now that I'm officially commuting, I hope there will be more opportunities for me to learn and at a faster pace.

If you ever see a rider with a White Helmet on a Leoncino, that'll be me, learning the ropes and tyring not to get killed. Hahah, gimme a *beep beep*.

Ride Safe, everyone! And a Blessed Christmas to all!!

Hey bro... Woahh that's a milestone riding to office for the first time.. thumbup.gif I remember my old times with a Leoncino 250 which was a wild horse to tame.. Short gear ratio and rough handling.. Sold off last year and got myself a Vstrom 250 SX. Vast difference in terms of handling, engine smoothness, gear shift and ratio.. biggrin.gif

Rough handling means? How’s the overall experience of Leoncino 250?
Im glad that you are complimenting Vstrom 250, as I am eyeing on Gixxer 250, I assume the engine setup is quite close to Vstrom.

Like @JPlaSMaY666 mentioned it's rough around the edges for sure. But surely eye catching at traffic light stops due to it's aesthetics of a scrambler aka cafe racer style... After fork servicing, handling and cornering improved vastly.. Yep Vstrom 250 uses the same engine as Gixxer 250 but with some minor updates.. Wanted to try out a touring bike thus got the Vstrom 250.. So far loving it.. thumbup.gif
