Meet Bluey: The High-Revving Specialist
Model: Kawasaki KLE250 Anhelo (Deep Sea Blue)
Don’t let the displacement fool you—Bluey is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. While modern 250cc bikes are built for fuel economy, the KLE250 was built for performance. With a legendary 38hp heart derived from Kawasaki’s sportbike DNA, Bluey is the "high-speed scalpel" of our 250cc lineup.
The Heart of a Sportbike, the Body of an Explorer
Bluey offers a screaming, twin-cylinder experience that you won't find on any modern showroom floor:
The 38hp Powerhouse: This parallel-twin engine pumps out a staggering 38 horsepower, revving all the way to a thrilling 11,000 RPM. It’s built for the rider who wants to feel the rush as they accelerate out of the coastal curves of the Okayama Blue Line.
The Smooth Twin Advantage: Unlike single-cylinder thumpers, Bluey’s engine is incredibly smooth at high speeds. He stays composed on the highway and sings when you open the throttle on the Mt. Ishizuchi Skyline.
Agile, Versatile, and Bold
Bluey was designed as a "dual-purpose" machine that refuses to compromise on-road speed:
Slim & Precise: The narrow frame and 21-inch front wheel give Bluey a unique advantage. He’s stable enough to handle the wind on the Shimanami Kaido bridges, yet slim enough to "flick" through the tightest misty switchbacks of Shikoku.
Comfort for the Long Haul: With a protective front cowl and an upright riding position, Bluey keeps you fresh for a full day of exploring. The seat is designed for movement, allowing you to shift your weight easily through the "S-curves."
Vintage Kawasaki Soul: In his deep Blue finish, Bluey represents the golden era of Kawasaki engineering—overbuilt, high-performing, and endlessly fun.
Why Choose Bluey?
Bluey is for the rider who wants the best of both worlds: the lightweight agility of a 250cc bike with the "punch" of a much larger machine. If you want to out-accelerate the traffic while maintaining the nimbleness to explore a hidden mountain shrine, Bluey is your match.
