Bought this awesomeness early 2017. The versys 650 is powered by a parallel twin engine yet it is armed with upside-down forks and an impressive swingarm I must say. Now the versys 650 is for a person who wants to have that dual-sport feel, a little nimble sporty side and a little easy going tourer. It's like a pizza supreme that you like and gladly the versys 650 exists for that list of criterias. With that big tank it's carrying, it's gonna have longer range to ride and lesser worries on finding stops for fueling. Ergonomics on riding this bike, you have pretty good leg room, wide handlebars and pretty good wind protection. On the downside of this bike, to me it's not that much of a big deal because although this bike is not that stylish or sporty like it's siblings such as the Ninja 650 and the z650, the versys 650 is still great looking and has a feisty personality. It's not really a total off road bike but it is decent on hard off road surfaces. As I have mentioned that it's not really a sport bike, the versys 650 can actually tear up a good twisty road. In closing the name versys itself means versatile system. Many motorcycle manufacturers tried to put every riding criterias on a bike, kawasaki till now has hit every point on it because there's nobody can do it like them. I would say to anyone who wants to start riding and versatility and efficiency is what they look in a bike, then versys is the one.

Exceptional on-road behavior and handling
The KAWASAKI VERSYS 650 handles like a dream. Initially, I was a bit fearful while trying it out as many experienced riders cursed its front wheel claiming it to be very unstable. However, as I rode it on the highway I found it to be very stable and well-planted. It also corners... Read More
