Description
THE FULL VIDEO DESCRIPTION CURRENTLY FOR MEMBERS ONLY
Can a showroom-spec adventure bike survive Australia's harshest terrain? The critics said the new Kawasaki KLE500 lacks the credentials and sits way too low for the outback—so Clubby took it on a brutal 4,000-kilometre survival test to prove them wrong.
In what we are confident is an Australian first, we took a practically standard Kawasaki KLE500 straight off the showroom floor and pointed it directly into the dead heart of the Australian outback. Aside from a fresh set of off-road tyres, this bike is 100% stock. No custom suspension, no expensive protective mods, and absolutely no compromises.Join us as we catch up with Clubby just a couple of days after his massive journey. We tackle the exact questions the adventure motorcycle community is arguing about: Is the ground clearance a dealbreaker? Can the engine handle the relentless outback sand ruts? And did it actually survive the trek?If you enjoy raw, honest, unmodified adventure bike reviews, make sure to hit that SUBSCRIBE button and turn on notifications!
