It's staying!

Hi All, after reading Walkabouts post regarding no more kle's and my email to kwak uk, this is their reply
"Dear Mr Copsey,

May we thank you for your e-mail dated 24th September 2007.

However, we are pleased to confirm that the KLE500 will continue to remain available for 2008 and we have no intention to drop this model from our range at this present time.

I hope this information will be of some assistance to you.

Yours sincerely,


Simon Chitty.
"At least it's still available in the uk, for all you guys down under get over here and buy n ride back, would make a good adventure

Would be interesting to know how many units of the KLE that Kawasaki sell each year?.

They do the 650 versys now but that has no off-road thought at all. Mabey they will bring a more hard core 650 versys out in 2008.

Anyway, Long live our little best kept secret!!!!.



P.S T.D, what spot lights have you fitted to your kle and where did you wire into?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
