If straight-line speed is your priority, the KLE 500 ABS takes the lead. With 17 HP more than the G310GS, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the G310GS has a clear advantage. Weighing in 19kg less than the KLE 500 ABS, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the G310GS. Its seat height is 35mm lower than the KLE 500 ABS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the kle500 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
