kAWASAKI KLE500 2006/2007
(kle500-b7p)
The Kawasaki KLE500 is a multi-role motorcycle. - if variety is your thing then the Kawasaki KLE500 is the way to go. Entry to Adventure sports is what it was designed for, with its narrow chassis and wide bars it offers flickability for those tight twisty country lanes and city roads alike. If the roads should run out, the long travel suspension will take you further.
The combination of high seating and wide bars gives a great feeling of balance and control particularly at low speeds which is boon both for town riding and for the adventure sport side of things.
Protection for the rider is offered in the way of handlebar guards to ensure that any minor obstructions do not interfere with rider grip or control, for the bike, the Kawasaki KLE500 comes standard with a bash plate to protect the sump, pipes and oil filter.
Driven by the well tested ER5 engine you may rest assured that the Kawasaki KLE500 is reliable, durable and econmical. (These engines outlast despatch riders). The restyled cockpit fairing is just enough to take the winblast off the rider whilst the very comfy seat cunningly has a textured material on the sides to allow an element of grip for those occasions when riding whilst standing on the pegs.
An extremely well priced package !!
