Versatile System
The Kawasaki Versys 650 for 2013 is powered by the already popular and proven 650cc parallel twin engine, the Versys 650 has it all to offer.

When Kawasaki were tuning the 649cc Parallel Twin engine of the Versys 650, their engineers’ first priority was to find a throttle response that balanced a powerful feeling and a quick-revving character. To optimise the performance for everyday riding, Kawasaki took great care to maximise low-mid range torque. When opening the throttle, you will notice that the engineers succeeded in creating an extremely smooth and powerful engine with a character that offers both a high level of control when making minute throttle adjustments and a surge of acceleration in the lower rpm ranges.

The combination of long-travel suspension with carefully considered spring settings is one of the keys to the active control offered by the Versys 650. In addition to being easily able to cope with all road conditions and offering confidence-inspiring feedback to you, the Versys encourages you to consciously control the bike’s forward-rear weight balance – adding a new dimension of controllability to explore. 17” wheels front and rear contribute to the bike’s quick steering. The 120 mm front tyre offers an excellent balance of quick steering.

The bike offers a slim, upright riding position with the wide handlebars offers both a naturally relaxed riding position and great controllability, and allows riders to experiment with a number of riding styles.

Triple petal disc brakes offer superb stopping power and feel at the lever. 5 mm thick front discs contribute to enhanced controllability. For additional braking reassurance, the Versys 650 is available with front and rear Bosche ABS.

Pillion position was designed to offer a natural seating position. Revised pillion grab bars are flatter, easier to hold and positioned further out for greater freedom of movement.

New LED taillight, features a transparent red lens and helps give of a bright light whilst making the tail a clean and tidy look.

The adjustable windscreen has three different settings (raised, standard, tilted forward), allowing you to tailor its position to suit your preferences. (Adjusting the bolt-mounted windscreen requires a 4 mm Allen key.) A taller screen is also available as a genuine Kawasaki accessory.

The instrument panel has white LED-backlighting for increased visibility at night. Features include a digital speedometer, analogue-style tachometer, digital fuel gauge, odometer, dual trip meter, etc. Also a 19-litre fuel tank offers an ample touring range.

The new-stacked dual headlamp design gives the Versys 650 a slimmer appearance. Using a single position lamp also contributes to the slim appearance. Sexy sculpted bodywork for the new front cowling and side fairing adds to the Versys’ dynamic image.
