Pros and Cons in comparison

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2023

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Kawasaki Versys 650 2014

With a full tank of only 211 kg, it is particularly easy to handle in the mountains. All in all, it is at home almost anywhere, an everyday bike with that certain kick. With a new headlight and modernised design, the Versys is back on the attack.

Absolutely suitable for everyday use

interesting concept

very low consumption.

Performance not too high.
