According to Kawasaki Motorcycles
The new Versys 650, created to conquer your city or leave it far behind. Designed to conquer the urban jungle, its ultimate potential comes to life in the Grand Tourer version transporting you, your passenger and luggage to the next big adventure. New dedicated features like an adjustable windscreen, colour TFT Meter with Bluetooth connection, LED lighting and KTRC traction control ensure you enjoy every ride. Short office trip or weekend away, let the Versys 650 be your ultimate travel guide.
Kawasaki’s advanced traction control system provides both enhanced sport riding performance and the peace of mind under certain conditions to negotiate low-traction surfaces with confidence. Two modes allow riders to adjust settings to suit the riding situation and rider preference.
Two further variants
The compact new 4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, highgrade appearance. The new meter also offers additional features unavailable on the previous model, including smartphone connectivity.
The combination of long-travel suspension and sporty 17” wheels enables fun, sporty riding on a wide variety of roads and conditions.
Redesigned upper cowl inspired by the Versys 1000 and a new windshield bring the Versys 650 in line with latest Versys family styling.
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.
Optimised for gratifying response in everyday riding situations, the exciting 649 cm3 Parallel Twin engine offers smooth, linear response, strong low-mid range torque and favourable fuel economy.
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.
Complementing its LED taillight, new LED headlights add symmetry to the Versys 650’s “face.” LED turn signals add a modern touch, contributing to the bike’s good looks.
Slim, upright position and wide handlebars offer a naturally relaxed posture and high controllability.
