one and can tell me otherwise? cheers jim

I bought one earlier this year. Initially I was also put off by the really negative comments in MCN. It was only when I was speaking to a proper bike dealer about what I was looking for that he recommended the Kle. I had tried a v strom and a gs650gs. I liked the v strom but did not want to spend that much money. I mentioned MCNs review. He said it was rubbish.

I found a 2008 model KLE in immaculate condition. The bike is brilliant. It goes well and is fuel efficient. Handing is good and it makes a lovely grunty sound. I ride to speed limits but it has plenty of verve. My only gripe was the seat which I had rescultured for the princely sum of £50.

You get a lot of bike for your buck ant it is a bit different.
:444 I am pleased as punch with mine.

Hi, i appreciate i am responding to an old thread, however i have recently purchased a KLE 500 and would like to do something to make the seat a little more comfortable for the longer journeys. As you have already had yours re sculptured may i ask where and whether or not you would recommend

thanks Steve
