Member Info: Hi, I´m Bart and 19 years old. I just got my bikers license back in november 2005 so still a beginner.

Info: This is my first real motorcycle after having two mopeds. I had to chose between several models and I decided to go for an allroad bike because of the way you sit on the bike (straight), the width steer, the great handling but also because mostly it are good streetbikes but there´re also suited for offroad use! So I thought this would be a great choice and I think I´m right! The KLE is a really ni
