Kawasaki KLE500 SE 2026

Kawasaki’s return to the adventure bike segment wasn’t quite as radical as the advertising slogan “Life is a Rally” might have suggested, but the KLE 500 is a bike that does exactly what an all-rounder needs to do: it aims to be both an everyday ride and a ready-to-go touring machine. Whether you’re trying out unpaved tracks for the first time or riding on roads of varying quality – with the Kawasaki, you’ll handle it all with ease.

A smooth and predictable engine

a stable and comfortable suspension

well-designed ergonomics to suit a wide range of body sizes

good value for money

a smooth-running transmission

Low ground clearance

hardly any off-road tyres are compatible with the unusual rear tyre size

wind protection is reasonable despite the taller windscreen

no options for a quickshifter or cruise control
