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.

A very well-equipped Suzuki, the likes of which you don't see every day. From the extensively integrated electronics to the pleasant riding experience, you basically have everything you need for motorcycling.

Relatively low overall weight

pleasant sound

positive ergonomics and seat comfort

strong, well-controllable brakes

ABS

well equipped.

The engine does tend to slow down with a passenger on long journeys.
