KLE500, Good first bike ?
Hi Guys,
Been reading the threads in here, one of the very few places that I can find information on the KLE500.
What I really would like help in is as follows.
I have never really ridden a bike before, but am very serioulsy thinking of getting one for commuting to work and back. Work is approx 23 miles away in nice countryside, 1 small town to go through.
I have bought a few bike mags and none really have a good word to say about the KLE500, I have read through the forums and people seem to like it. I guess I will get a kind of biased view here probably, but once I pass my bike test, is it a good bike to have ?
I am not interested in speed, but think that I will just enjoy riding, I also do not want a low slung racing bike, I want something where I am sitting up and enjoying what is happening. I am also interested in mpg, I want the bike to be able to pay for itself in the long run.
Also, any advice on any othe rpossibly suitable bikes, just the KLE500 is for sale brand new from £3000 in the UK.
Thanks for any advice
