Whatever your destination, this remarkable, reliable, versatile, comfortable and nimble motorcycle will eat up the miles and encourage you to take the long way home. The Kawasaki Versys 650 is fitted with ABS and traction control as standard. With everything you’ve come to expect from this flexible motorcycle, as well as a Touring and a Grand Touring model. The key to the Kawasaki Versys 650’s sleek chassis is its compact Parallel Twin engine, which allows the use of a slim, lightweight frame.
Available in 3 guises, Standard, Tourer and Grand Tourer. The Tourer comes with colour-matched 56L one-key pannier system with inner bags, handguards, tank pad and a TFT screen protector. The GT Version comes with the same equipment as the tourer with the addition of 47L top case, Frame Sliders, LED fog lights, USB power outlet and a GPS bracket.
Bringing the bodywork in line with the latest family member the 2023 Versys 1000, has had the additional benefit of increasing the level of weather protection on offer whilst increasing comfort by reducing rider buffeting.
The compact new 4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance. The new panel also offers additional features unavailable on the previous model, including Bluetooth smartphone connectivity.
Complementing its LED taillight, new LED headlights add symmetry to the Versys 650’s “face” whist doing a great job of illuminating the road ahead. LED turn signals add a modern touch, contributing to the bike’s good looks.
Together with the forward-located seat position and the under-engine muffler, this engine-frame combination delivers a highly centralised mass distribution, which contributes to the highly agile package. High priority was given to achieving chassis settings that deliver a high level of feedback, better enabling the rider to recognise the bike’s limits. Fitted with stronger wheels and a stronger rear subframe has allowed the Kawasaki Versys 650’s carrying ability to be increased to an incredible 210 kg. This allows panniers and a topbox to be fitted at the same time.
Short office trip or weekend away, let the Versys 650 be your ultimate travel guide.
Enjoy the simple things
No fuss, simple and enjoyable.
Tuning of the 649 cc Parallel Twin engine focused on achieving a throttle response that offers a quick-revving character to optimise performance for everyday riding. The revised engine also maximises low to mid range torque as well as increased high-rpm performance and improved fuel economy.
Relaxed ride
Maximum comfort
Slim, upright position and wide handlebars offer a naturally relaxed posture and high controllability.
Fully water resistant
Stay charged
Complementing the accessory DC outlet, a new accessory USB outlet features dual-covers for high water resistance. Both power sources can be built into the cockpit’s inner cover, where they would be ideally positioned for charging accessories or personal items.
Sporty suspension
A fun ride
The combination of long-travel suspension and sporty 17” wheels enables fun, sporty riding on a wide variety of roads and conditions.
A new design
Full relaxation
Together with the redesigned upper cowl, a new windshield offers increased wind protection, contributing to greater rider comfort and adding to the Versys 650’s potential as a capable touring partner. Its four positions can conveniently be adjusted from the rider’s seat.
