Hello all,

New to the forum and just sold a truck and want to buy a bike.

I live in Canterbury and need a bike that can say do 5000km per year in 50km trips.

Ideally I want something especially efficient, reliable and easy, cost effective to maintain.

Have very basic riding skills (can ride - but not very experienced or yet licensed) and have no need of anything sleak or flashy...just cheap and reliable to run. Id happily go 80-100km/hr so no speed demon devices needed either....

Oh also ideally can do some time on gravel roads as I live rural but likely to be much more road time....

What do guys recommend??? I was thinking of a farm bike but not sure of those are best for 50km trips....

Cheers

Gary

WWell, if you go to the top of page and click new posts, someone is selling a KX500.

How tall are you? KLR650 would work well but they are a bit tall. LAMs approved
