The new Versys 650 is truly more than just a revamped old lady - in addition to the contemporary look, the engine, chassis and equipment list have also been revised. It remains true to its sporty line, the 5 hp more benefit the mid-range for increased sovereignty - however, even the predecessor was a wonderfully lively fun machine. Instead, comfort is increased enormously by clever solutions such as the larger and now height-adjustable windshield. Finally, the optional features are also up to date: nice and roomy panniers, heated grips, LED fog lights, frame guard, gear indicator and a 12 V socket.
