My KLE is the most udseful bike I've ever had. I do 25 000km a year and has not missed a beat since I fixed it soon after buying it in 2009.

Is this 16k for an engine rebuild. What happened to the motor? I'm very interested to see what is being replaced and why....

I'm a believer in GO wax. Easy to use, no waste, very little mess and is eco friendly and locally made.

the workshop manual for my KLE500 specifies Dunlop Trailmax or Bridgestone Trail Wing but not Michelin Anakee which I use.

Its only worth as much as someone will pay ..... now I'm wondering about collecting bikes I once owned!!!

Hey!!! I owned one of them ...Yup, that is the NR. Essentially a detuned version of the RD with single carb and ineffective drum brake as opposed to the RD which had a single disk. The NR was popular as a delivery bike but lost out to the Suzuki B200 for some reason. Its not worth anything as...

No mention of when it goes live either. Also there's no mention of a discount structure for E-Tag holders. Therefore I assume this is the base price and those without an E-Tag will pay around 30% more. Disappointing release in that it leaves more questions than it answers,

This is a good buy!! I paid R18500 for my engine 'unopened' 32 000km ..... then spent just over R12 000 welding cracked casings & rebuilding engine, getting another radiator etc ..... now its a great bike bike I cant even sell it for R15k

Doesn't matter as all spares are easily available .... maybe plastics a bit scarce, but same applies to a '93 KLE500

Schon!! good bargain .... if only you were up in JHB

Decent hand guards ....keep wind off hands is the start

..... imagine if the speeding BMW had been a cop in an unmarked car on his way to an emergency. One must wonder whether the trapper would have actually pulled the trigger in either case???? Laws are laws and they must ALL be enforced.... even trespassing !!

Quite a tall bike so short arses like me don't like it ..... the one for sale is being sold by someone with a solid reputation and price seems good.

I suppose it signals the end of Yamaha as a major force in the street superbike world, but I also think SBK rules are such that current bikes bear no resemblance to their road going counterparts. Maybe its time SBK looks at rewriting rules so manufacturers don try make a 'hot-rod' as fast as a...
