4The versys 650 my kind of bike 8 months ago by Neville

Before zeroing down on this bike i wanted to have a trial. Unfortunately the only dealer in mumbai was in partnership with ktm. Fortunately at that time they had a bike for registration. Just one look at the bike in person and a its dauntingly high seat made me love that bike which i immediately booked.The delivery was prompt and on the day promised. The first ride on the bike was amazing. The throttle response was smooth and inspite of its daunting height and weight it was very flickable in the mumbai traffic. The net sunday i took it to khandala and was bowled over by its comfort and the power on the tap available at the flick of a wrist. The braking and the abs was awesome. Although it is not a head turner it has its looks which are liked by aficionados like me.The first service was good and the bike became super smooth. The charges were for actual by the ktm south mumbai. However before the second service the partnership between ktm and kawasaki came to an end and i was left stranded for the second service till such time anzen came up. The second service was under mr kyffin of anzen and the bike again became as good as new.As my Sunday rides increased i became more and more obsessed by the comfort and the performance of the bike.The only downsize on the bike is its weight and the lack of slipper clutch which shakes you up when you are downshifting.The overall experience at the given price with the showa adjustable front suspension is a real steal and till date i have not experienced the joy of riding any other parallel twin.

29 February 2016

Vikrant Singh

The similarities here are uncanny. A half fairing. High-rise handlebar. Large fuel tank. Stepped, wide seat. And chunky but handy rear grab-rails. And there’s more. Underneath that touring façade lays a street naked; be it the chassis, the brakes or the tyres. Even the...

Kawasaki Versys 650 First Ride Review

Pratheek Kunder

The Versys 650 is Kawasaki’s answer to the growing demands of India’s touring fraternity. It is essentially the Ninja 650’s touring cousin but is more focussed towards serious tourers. The Versys, as a brand, didn’t get lot of recognition since its introduction a year ago...
