Australia 2026: Kawasaki Revives the KLE500, Sherco's EnduroGP Replica Limited to 15 Units Nationwide

Kawasaki has added the "KLE500" to its 2026 Australian lineup, slotting between the Versys-X 300 and the Versys 650 with more genuine off-road capability. Sherco Australia has also confirmed the introduction of its MY26 EnduroGP replica, allocating just 10 units of the 300 SE and 5 of the 300 SEF, for a total of 15 nationwide.

Slotting the KLE500 into the Versys line is a smart move, I think. It fills the gap between the 300 feeling too small and the 650 feeling too big. The Sherco EnduroGP replica being scarce at just 15 units per country also fits how a competition-derived machine should be marketed. Each model's character is clearly defined, which makes lining up the spec sheets genuinely worthwhile.

Just the name gets my blood pumping — the KLE500 lineage returning in the Reiwa era is way too exciting.

With only 15 EnduroGP replicas nationwide, the number of people who'll actually be able to buy one is pretty limited.

Glad to see the KLE name back, but I'll wait for the actual bike to see if it's genuinely off-road focused.

On Sherco's side, limiting it to 15 units is clearly an allocation aimed squarely at the hardcore racing crowd.

With just 15 units, whether it's a lottery or first-come-first-served makes a huge difference in how hard it'll be to get one.

If it's positioned to fill the gap between the Versys-X300 and the 650, they're probably targeting the 400-500cc gap.

The KLE500 making a comeback is so nostalgic — great news for someone who rode the original '90s KLE500.

The old KLE used to get called a jack-of-none, but that in-between character might actually suit today's needs.
