KLE 500 (2005 - present) review
The 500cc parallel-twin motor from the discontinued GPZ500 finds its way into a new Kwak trailie for '05. Should make a cracking first bike.

Pros
Engines don't come much more tried and tested than that of the venerable GPZ
Cons
Offroad styling is the only concession to anything other than asphalt
