The Kawasaki KLV1000 is a multi-role
motorcycle. It falls into so many categories - if variety
is your thing then the Kawasaki KLV1000 is the way to go.
Adventure sports is what it was designed for, but with the
weight of the machine being so closo to that of the Sports
range, it is flickable and manoeuvrable. The 996cc engine
delivers huge amounts of torque that make two up riding comfortable
and effortless. Covering distances on this bike is a joy........
if the roads run out, the long travel suspension will take
you further.
