Vehicle Information
Kawasaki KLE500 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (2026)
The 2026 Kawasaki KLE500 marks the reintroduction of this adventure motorcycle, distinct from its original 1991-2007 predecessor. Positioned as a rally-inspired, dirt-capable option, it features a new lightweight, all-new one-piece steel trellis frame. Power comes from a modern 451cc parallel-twin engine, also found in Kawasaki's Ninja, Z500, and Eliminator models. This engine delivers an estimated 51 horsepower and 31.7 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a slip and assist clutch for smooth operation. The 2026 model represents a complete new generation, not a mid-cycle update. Its design incorporates rally-inspired elements like spoked wheels (with a 21-inch front), a skid plate, and increased suspension travel and ground clearance. For 2026, an "SE model" is offered, enhancing the experience with a 4-inch taller windscreen, a bright TFT dash, and legitimate handguards. FAQ:
