Perfectly at home riding across town or blasting down a hard packed trail, the KLE500 gives you the freedom to go where you want, when you want. Its compact 500cc parallel twin engine pumps out a healthy 45ps at 8,300 rpm and long travel suspension copes with urban pot holes and leisurely trails with ease. The plush seat is comfortable for both rider and passenger and comes with the convenience of a rear rack as standard.
