Another possible steed!

Kawasaki KLX 300 suitable for a novice green laner, or too powerful? Any particular problems to look out for

Good choice, IIRC they had a few issues - but so does every bike

Been out on the XR250 today and just does everything well (not fast or rip snorting) but is so easy and forgiving to ride solo

I did a really snotty and technically difficult lane today, with big rocks and a few fallen logs, up what is basically a stream - with some mud slots at the end and I rode it like a trials bike, without footing on just a whiff of throttle

Satisfying to get it right and that way you don't expend much energy footing and getting stuck

Big bikes can be more fun, but also make you tired in the technical and tight stuff
