Kawasaki Versys 650 2009

Kawasaki Versys 650 2009

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.

In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.

Engine with manners AND character

Enormously high chassis stability

Brakes without reproach

Tremendous off-road capabilities

Low average consumption.

Unattractive surcharge policy

original seat not optimally shaped
