I've check data at EC cert of conformity, it says 33kW and 0,17 kW/kg power to weight ratio (UK reg cert gives the same ratio)

Thanks for an advice.

Interesting thought :wink:

I'm thinking hard about getting my fuel consumption low because I've hope for looong trip next summer (7500km). But thinking forward - knobby tires can help me survive winter (my "favourite" part of Irish weather )
For the summer trip I'll need proper tarmac tires (mostly main roads of western Europe).

Well I love it all ready. My previous bike was (still at backyard) 11bhp Honda XR125 so difference is huge. When I see all those praises about KLE's reliability it only make me grin more...
Soon my first fuel consumption readings.
