its different, dont get me wrong i wouldnt buy one mind

[dodsi]

its the replacement for the ER-5 engined KLE 500.

They are using the ER-6 motor and similer frame it seems.

[Jack_Cheese]

They've taken an ER-6, jacked it up and made it uglier. Who the hell designs the bikes at kawasaki because they're doing an horrendous job!

[Paddy Blake]

Its no KLE thats for sure.
The photos are a bit long and make the bike look tall.I had a look at
one in the shop and the rear shock at righthand side.
But i like the short exaust

Looks like a wierd jacked up ER6. Though I suspect some people will like that.

Looks cracking, hope it's as beefy looking in real life !!!

What-on-Earth-is-that-monstrosity.

Oh dear, oh very, very dear.

[0ddball]

I recon there will be big discounts on them 6 months after the launch.

It's even worse than the ER6!

[instigator]

All you bloody sportsbike riders. If it's not covered in plastics, then it's not worth a second look.

Once I get a decent job and if they're 0% finance, I'll take one for a test ride. Really like the looks, although not keen on the upside down forks myself (why make things more complicated basically) Whens the release date.

Nice, definitely a funked-up version of my KLE500 - I'd buy one for the commute, especially if it was reasonably priced.

from me. It seems to be provoking a marmite type of reaction from the folks here.

[LustyLew]

THe back end meeds to be a little higher and the front abit lower. Give it a more mean look, then I think I might like it...

Well at an instant glance I didn't like it but then after giving it a chance (I have to admit I'm not huge fan of Kwaks in general) I quite like it. It's great for what it is. Some one who needs a comfy commuter and something a little funky but cant afford 2 bikes (which is most of us)
