I test rode a Versys today and liked it very much

I wouldn't mind having a Versys. Very multi-taskable and they have a 'personality' that grows on you.

 

I like the seating position, I don't like the lay-over-the-tank position at all. I may have to look one of these up around here and test it out myself....but then my little D-Tracker would get lonely...

 

Would luv one but they should be 9K ride away in Aus- NOT 11k. They are based on the ER-6 and they were doing those ER's in Syd before I moved to Brissy late last year for about 8K. So the versy with a few nicer extras should be 10 flat..

A triumph street triple is 11k so it really puts it in perspective. I believe they are doing them in VIC for about 10k ride away.

Also look at all the accessories they have from Factory - panniers etc. Kawasaki cant move them here despite rave reviews because they are priced wrong.

 

Vstrom 650 has been 10K ride away too. Great bike for the money. Great for touring Australia.

 

I love my Versys. It seems to do everything well. I've only got about 2500 miles on her so far, but it's a great commuter bike, comfortable enough for long rides, and has enough power to keep you entertained. It definitely has a "unique" look, but it grows on you after a while.

 

I have feel in love with the looks of this bike. I've been trying to find one to test drive for months here in alabama. Can we get a versys sub-forum added to this web site?

i rode my buddies... very nice bike. id like to get one.

 

Is it suppose to be "dual purpose"?
Like in the dirt too

 

Kawi was marketing the Versys as a dual-sport bike, but even they stopped doing that for '09. I know some guys on the Kawasaki Versys forum ride them off-road - about the same places you would take a V-Strom. They have a blast, but personally, I would never take mine off-road. That's what the KLX is for!
