    Upgrading from a 125cc Varadero, commute 30 mins each way daily in heavy traffic on a range of roads (dual carridgeway, town, country road). Chose this Kawaski Versys over the transalp and v-strom, and was perfect choice, a lot more power but very easy to handle and well balanced, fits my 6ft height (often problems fitting my knees into cut-outs with 36" legs), lots of accessories to choose from - it is a lot of fun to ride as well!! It is a very upright sitting position, which took me a while to get used to, but ideal for commuting. There is good wind protection from the farings and I have the tourer screen that is quite good too. There a few downsides, firstly the mirror height is exactly the same as van mirrors, so you have to be a bit cautious when filtering and the back brake is very wooden and I will be investigating ways to improve it. I noticed vibrations when I first rode it (bearing in mind I had a 125cc before), sometimes enough to make mirror image fuzzy, but this may be true of all parallel twin engine bikes. Overall, if you are looking for a fun bike that is easy to handle, and you like the sitting upright position, then you should seriously consider this bike. Thanks for reading!

    11,000km in the odometer, driven from Guatemala to Belize in all kinds of tarmac. A very reliable engine with lots of grunt, suspension is exemplar, cruising speed with givy shield 145km, such a comfortable ride. What else can I ask for. Oh, I had forgotten. BMW 1200GS left easily behind in the twisties.

    (Female rider) I really like the quirky looks. The seating position is great, and the seat is very comfortable even on all day rides. The bike is extremely nimble, and has plenty of power. The size is a near perfect fit for my 5'5", 32 inseam. Because the bike is light, and balanced, you don't have to have both feet flat on the ground at stops. I find the breaking to be good. The power to be there for the asking, and the nimble ride a blast. I give my Versys a 10!

    Riding a new bike is always a matter of anticipation. Will the experience match the desire? Here is the offering from Kawasaki, using the ER6 engine in a new frame and uprated long travel suspension. This is a a new sector bike which defies a logical slot in any category. It is a do it all rounder and the 64 bhp pumps out enough power for most sane people in the real world. The water cooled twin cylinder can quickly achieve a 70 mph speed and beyond is no problem. The bike feels responsive and e ...
