Why not in US market? Why doesn't Kawi bring this bike or better yet a ER650 engine based version to the US?
The following text and pic were shamelessly stolen from other websites.
Adventure is where you find it. The KLE500 is designed to offer good all-round performance, great versatility and a dash of style.
Urban tarmac jungle or unmade road, the updated and refreshed KLE500 is ready to take on the challenge.
With a narrow chassis and wide bars this bike is manoeuvrable and lithe. The 498cm³ parallel twin water-cooled engine is tuned for rewarding low end power extending into a strong mid-range, ideal for tricky roads and city streets alike.
The up to date upper cowl and Z1000 inspired headlamp and screen complement the new instruments, colours and graphics to bring the KLE500 bang up to date.
Contemporary features also include three exhaust catalysers ensuring that the 8 valve DOHC motor runs clean as well as smooth.
