Needs an Nova and ideally some new plastics but other than that it's all good. Should cope with lanes pretty easy and still do the road work.

Thanks, but since the Kawasaki KLE seed was planted, it's grown and grown. I think I've completed YouTube, watching videos of them off roading

It'll be a few weeks until I pull the trigger on something. Shame, as there's one that fits the bill close to me.

Just seen this

I didn't know much about the KLE 500 so read a review on MCN.. it has to be one the most damming reviews I've read about a bike.
I've not seen MCN really attack a bike before so that was something new.

The actual owners seem to like them though.

If you look for anything on the internet your always going to get mixed reviews like I’ve got a cold and google it and you might only have days to live or don’t buy a KTM they’ll break down KEEP TAKING MONEY but we’ve all got one
If actual owners like them what’s the problem
He said he liked them I saw one and posted end of !

I read the same recite review, but I've also read/ watched many more reviews from owners and they seem much more positive.


I've found a couple of potentials but I'm still waiting for thefunds to clear in my account. I'll update here when I eventually pull the trigger. Thanks everyone for your recommendations, I wish I could stretch the budget further and pick up something more capable, but I've got to be realistic. The S1K is a money pit and any second bike will be predominantly a commuter.

Bargain yamaha ttr for sale on devon trf.

£1500 needs couple minor jobs.

I'd happily have another TTR250. They're pretty much unburstable, economical to run and repair and not that bad on the road. Youngest will be nearly 20 years old but they go on for ever.
DGTRF site as good a place to buy from as you'll get

Just looked at the advert. The guy selling it has been on the forum for years and is well known on the site. Probably a very honest guy as w#nkers normally don't last long on there.

And I'm still a member, before you ask

This popped up on FB marketplace this evening - know nothing more than what it says in the ad, but seems quite nice
