The new one
French Model 2026
I had the first of the name as well as two Gpz, what an engine! More greedy on the ex kle than the gpz or er5, but what a pleasure. The new one looks nice, especially the beautiful base model with its lcd speedometer, which will suffice. I think the pot is too low for its off-road capabilities, and the power is just right? To be verified in terms of weight/power ratio. Rating : 4/5
Chinese clone
French Model 2026
I too had a first model KLE and apart from the comfort of the saddle I can only say good things about it. The announcement of a new KLE had me excited, but what a disappointment to see a bike completely different from what I expected, i.e. a classy trail bike. Instead, we're treated to a copy of the chinoiseries that are currently proliferating... cf moto, morini xcape or even the new allthrike, certainly less expensive, and other transalpine bikes that no longer exist... One thing's for sure: I won't be buying it! Rating : 2/5
French Model 2026
Yeah, way too expensive, not much on the base model, forced to go upmarket, CF Moto must be having a good laugh. The 450 MT still has a long way to go before this KLE passes it by. Rating : 2/5
French Model 2026
Yet another "stripped-down" motorcycle where, in order to announce a low price, equipment that is nonetheless necessary for everyday use has to be added (luggage rack, center stand, USB socket, heated grips, possibly crash bars, additional lights) and adds to the invoice at the manufacturer's price! The suzuki vstrom 800, the transalp 750 had already done this to us! It's the new fashion! Otherwise very nice look, waiting for more features! Rating : 4/5
French Model 2026
Expected, I'm not disappointed. The only reservation is that if I take a lower saddle, I might end up with a board under my buttocks..... Rating : 5/5
The advertised price

Would be approximately €7,500 Rating : 5/5
At last!
French Model 2026
I've still got a 2003 KLE, which still rides well, and I've done a lot of hard work on it! But I must admit I was looking at what to replace it with: CF Moto 450, KTM 390, Aprilia Tuareg or something else that's not too heavy ... But now, if the 2026 version stays within the 170 - 180 kg range, I think I'll stick with the green bike for the next one!

But now, if the 2026 version stays in the 170 - 180 kg range, I think I'll stick with the green one for the next one! I hope they've corrected the faults of "the old one", fuel consumption too high (range 220 km max.) and braking a bit weak (especially without abs) ... So I can't wait to find out more!

I've been waiting for it for a while!
I'm not disappointed by the design, but the weight and price remain to be seen ...
