The Kawasaki KLE500 is a multi-role
motorcycle. Like the KLV1000 it falls into so many categories
- if variety is your thing then the Kawasaki KLE500 is the
way to go. Adventure sports is what it was designed for, but
with its narrow chassis and wide bars it offers flickability
for those tight twisty country lanes and city roads alike.
And as with the KLV... if the roads run out, the long travel
suspension will take you further.
