presentation of the VERSYS 650 GRAND TOURER 2018
The Versys go and ride in unison, and their panoplies are modelled on each other. The 1000 is over-equipped to go far and wide; the little one wants to do the same, and with a few accessories becomes the 650 Versys Grand Tourer. The little 69-horsepower, twin-cylinder machine will be carrying some additional equipment, the list of which is not at all ungrateful.
Among these, the most tactical are those for luggage. A large 47-liter top-case can hold a pair of full-face helmets or 5 kilos of victuals. Perfectly integrated and dynamically styled, the panniers hold 28 liters each (27 with adapted interiors). With the "one key" system, a single key is enough for all the bike's locks.
Riding at night is less of a chore with a pair of additional long-range headlights. Here and there, you'll find a host of features to enhance your ride: gear indicator, 12V socket, hand guards... and the outline of the mid-size Versys. A typical face, much more attractive than the old version, a nice twin with more power than before, an optimized chassis, an adjustable bubble, a reinforced rear frame, revised ergonomics, and a clearly hectic need to ride.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 4 reviews
Meter from another era, no led lighting, bubble too small and not adjustable while riding, no backlighting of controls for riding at night, no usb plug, in short Kawasaki would be well advised to improve the finish, I'm sure they would sell many more. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Bruno84
The rest is really functional and integrated into the bike's lines (suitcases and top case of sufficient capacity) Rating : 4/5 Respond to vanne d'air
