Offroad lovers and especially Kawasaki’s mounts, they are likely to be very excited about the possible return of the mythical acronyms Kle 500 that so many joys gave fans over 17 seasons in the market. After the last alender designed by Young Machine’s companions, the expectation has grown notoriously on the part of the firm of Akashi.
And they do not lack reason, taking into account that the brand itself already gave us the first clues about what is to come in the past EICMA 2024. Then he exhibited some parts that seemed to be his new Kle 500. It was in a large black structure and under the motto “Life is a rally. Enjoy it”, Kawasaki put us on alert on this possible return.
Kawasaki Kle 500 ¿2026?
Now, just a few months after that first preview by Kawasaki, it is the famous Japanese publication that puts our teeth long with this “artisanal” referry that could be the new generation Kle 500. As we all know, when from the writing of the consolidated half Japanese a news related to the four great Japanese, it usually ends up becoming a reality.
That is why we would not surprise us that in the face of the last bars of this 2025, the firm officially present its new Kle 500, with the idea of starting the commercialization a few months later, already involved in 2026. In any case, returning to the stand that Kawasaki exhibited in the Milan Hall of 2024, this showed us a front train equipped with a radial tire of 21 ”, a single brake disc. Nissin, inverted fork and after it a generous cooling radiator.
The pilot in charge of piloting her emerged from the top, positioned standing on the stirrups of the legendary trail of half -displacement. If we compare this data with the Young Machine Rénder, we can observe how the latter incorporate key details into such a model. For example, a lateral exhaust system positioned at a good ground height, one -piece seat with non -slip upholstery or a front windshield with a good -sized frontal surface.
The width handlebar holders of simple and classic design rearviews, while the front lighthouse seems to be chaired by a kind of mask in charge of giving it a well -differentiated image. Cover crankcase, fork protector or covers, would also be included in the KLE 500 New Generation. Of course, it is time to ask what engine would be in charge of putting energy to the whole.
Everything suggests that this new generation of the well -known Japanese trail is driven by the same cylindrical engine in parallel of 451 cc that mount their sisters 500 within the current range, the 500 ninja or the Z500, both suitable for driving with the A2 card.
With a power of 45.4 hp at 9,000 rpm and 42.6 nm Of maximum torque, I would fulfill perfectly with the expectations that can be taken on a motorcycle of this type. In any case, it is time to continue waiting to receive news from the brand itself or new ideas coming from the country of the rising sun.
