Kawa KLE 500
Right so,
I reckon I am going to buy one of the new Kawa KLE 500s. I have failed to find anything really bad about these bikes by trawling the internet. It seems like a good, fairly simple bike that will plug along for ages built on a good engine (the 500cc twin from the GPZ 500). And its very cheap. The thing is, although there seems to be lots of people out there who use them for commuting etc. there seems to be very little use of them for adv. touring.
I'm aware of its limitations as an off road bike but realistically most of my riding will be on road with the occasional unsealed foray.
Does anybody have any experience of these bikes and have any advice as to what to look out for interms of reliability? Any suggested mods? I'd be grateful for any thoughts.
