If you look at the equipment list of the 800MT, especially the Touring version, you will be amazed at how much can be fitted as standard in a comparatively inexpensive mid-range touring enduro. The pannier system even scores with a smart lining for the panniers and top case. The chassis and brakes are good, the engine could be a little livelier and jerk less when cold, but overall the performance is good. However, the 800MT is by no means flawless. The technicians definitely need to improve the shift assistant and the menu navigation could be simpler. Visually, however, there is not much to complain about; the cooperation with Kiska-Design pays off!

When it was first introduced, the Versys 650 was a refreshing, modern concept that combined lots of fun with a lively in-line two-cylinder engine, high everyday utility and a wide range of uses. In the meantime, it has a few years under its belt and, after the visual update, which is very successful, it also deserves a technical overhaul. While the tank should not shrink, a lower seat height would be desirable.

Adjustable brake and clutch levers

wide range of use

21 litre tank

sporty look

Narrow handlebars

somewhat sluggish in bends

high seat
