This is a 2026 Kawasaki Versys 650 ABS. Weighs about 500 pounds and makes 65 horsepower. Front and rear preload and rebound adjustable suspension.
120/17 front and 160/17 rear. Comfortable upright riding position. Picked it up Wednesday and made 300 miles so far and it's a blast.

A close friend has put about 100,000 miles on three of them, ranging from a 2008 to a 2021 IIRC. They are excellent all around motorcycles!
We always swap bikes for a bit when we ride. Every time I get off the VerSys I think I should buy one.
You are going to love it!!!

I had a 16 for a few years. Fantastic overall package. It was just too heavy and top heavy and tall for short old me.

I know exactly what you mean about too-tall motorcycles.
I usually get an aftermarket "low" seat and then a lowering set of dog bones and then run the fork tubes up into the triple trees.
And then ya gotta shorten the side stand. I'm pretty good with that. :boozing: :boozing: :boozing:

Had an '08 for a few years, apart from being a bit tall, it was excellent. Little motor is amazing!!!

I love the blue one shown. I think they just want too much for them these days. For the money my local store gets it BETTER have 100+ hp and fancy something or another. Congrats on your bike. It’s pretty.
