Hey, thanks for the link. I wasn't familiar with that board. I haven't had much luck finding any local owners to talk to. I definitely suggest you take the MSF training course, I just did and it was very helpful. I've been tooling around on a 50cc on the local back roads and rode decades ago but the MSF course is the way to go.
I test drove the 250 and the 400 - decided that the 400 is a better fit for my preferences although I don't like the price hike. Either one is really interesting to ride, just be sure you're dead level before you engage the holding mechanism at a stop light without putting your feet down. It gets real interesting if you don't
