Kawasaki's Versys Dual Sport 650 Parallel Twin

[Flying Tiger]

Looks like a nice baby version of a big trailie.  I imagine to compete with the Multistrada and the Wee Strom.  UK release only :(

Yeah I saw that in this week's MCN... looks really nice... plus the engine is supposed to be really good (same as new road bike)..... looks great value... Only problem is I've owned quite a few Kawasaki's over the years, and whilst they have been totally reliable and great fun, they rust to hell first sign of a cloud (I ride all year round)... perhaps they've improved things now...

I like the exhaust location and the bash tub. But, do those wheels look weak in the spokes?

Hmmm, reminds me of a Pug, you know, the ugly little dog!



I'm not a fan of Kawasaki at the best of times, the finish on them's terrible. It looks like a similar parallel twin to the KLX?



It'd be ok for a runaround but not big enough for serious touring. I'll stick to my Tiger!

It's a Ninja 650 with longer legs.  All the same, I think I like it.
