New Kawasaki KLE500

The legendary KLE name is back for 2026, offering a true dual-sport machine built for both the daily commute and ambitious trail exploration. The KLE500 SE is the premium package of this all-new adventure model, priced at £6,599 and arriving in January 2026. Available in three striking colours. At its core, the KLE500 SE is powered by the capable 451cc Parallel-Twin engine (shared with the Ninja 500), delivering strong, linear power and using an Assist & Slipper clutch for a light feel. It features a genuine off-road chassis with a lightweight steel trellis frame, 21-inch spoked front wheel (17-inch rear), and long-travel KYB suspension (8.3 inches front, 7.9 inches rear). Stopping power comes from large single discs front and rear with Switchable ABS, allowing it to be disabled for superior control in the dirt. The SE model justifies the £600 premium with significant upgrades focused on technology and protection. It swaps the standard LCD panel for a premium 4.3-inch Full-Colour TFT display that includes RIDEOLOGY THE APP smartphone connectivity. Protection is enhanced with a taller windscreen, robust metal-reinforced handguards, and a larger aluminum skid plate. The bike also features all-LED lighting, including LED turn signals. The KLE500 SE is the ultimate mid-weight ADV for riders seeking maximum features, comfort, and trail capability straight off the showroom floor. As with all NEW Kawasaki models, they ALL include 48-month (4-year) manufacturer warranty, 12-month Club Kawasaki membership, 12-month RAC Breakdown cover and with nationwide delivery available, courtesy of our in-house delivery team – there has never been a better time to try #teamgreen !
