Kawasaki KLE 500 vs KLR650. Is the KLR650 being replaced by the KLE500?

Kawasaki just introduced us to the new small capacity adventure bike in the form of the KLE500.

However, when looking at what Kawasaki has shared with us about the KLE500, it appears they may have released this bike in effort to retire a 30+ year old dinosaur. Here are five reasons that indicate the KLR650 has finally reached the end of its life.
