YOU want it all at once? No problem, the newly announced Kawasaki KLV1000 caters to riders who like variety. This multi-role machine combines the convenience and comfort of a touring model and the performance of a sporting bike. The height-adjustable windshield, ergonomic riding position, large-capacity fuel tank, luggage rack and optional panniers make long-distance trips a breeze.

With a dry weight closer to that of a sports bike, tight twisty roads will be another favourite venue for KLV1000 riders, enjoying the thrilling combination of a lightweight, stable chassis and an exciting 90-degree V-Twin-engine delivering lots of low and mid-range torque.

Designed primarily for road use, this powerful adventure bike doesn't even mind the occasional off-road trip. So when the tarmac stops, the long-travel suspension makes the KLV capable of continuing.

"The welcome arrival of the new KLV1000 further extends our motorcycle range into the expanding adventure touring market," said Martin Lambert, KMUK's marketing manager. "With particular strong interest on the continent, we think this type of machine will also appeal to many UK Kawasaki customers."
