KLE500 from '99. Mechanically perfect, only electronics are the headlights and blinkers, everything is accessible with a standard toolkit, spare parts are everywhere given the engine is 30+ years old and used in a number of other Kawasaki models.
I fucking love my bike.
We call them KLR's unchanged from 1988. https://youtu.be/rvGZS5fqxrk If you aren't familiar with Fortnine, I will apologize now. The rabbit hole is deep.
I have a Transalp, I have always wanted to do what you are doing. You are Fucking Rad!
The KLE and KLR are different bikes. KLR is a mono-cylinder (thumper) whereas the KLE is a twin-cylinder. KLE has the GPZ500/ER-5 engine fitted. It's the trail model and perfect for traveling.
I've done many thousands of kilometers for the past year and a half, seen so much beautiful stuff and met some awesome people. It's a real big family this motorbike business, everybody got somebody around to help or chat to. The Transalp is perfect for what I'm doing, you should get out there with it man it'll be worth it, trust me out of the comfort zone is where the best things grow.
And yeah Fortnine is the GOAT.
Edit: Here's a couple different angles 1(https://pic8.co/sh/DHeri9.jpg) 2(https://pic8.co/sh/eQ4Kvn.jpg)
That is even more Rad. I bet its smooth too. I agree with you. Outside the comfort zone is a good place, its just unusual to most. I do need to get there.
