The brakes, chassis and engine fit the concept very well and do not show any weakness. The Versys' engine is just as lively as the vehicle itself and revs up most snappily. Especially important: Is by far the most willing wheelie machine in the field.

Designed for a broad target group

easy handling

good chassis

positive riding experience.

Power could be a little higher.
