Fun Package on Winding Roads
Offering a unique package comprising long-travel suspension & sporty 17” wheels, a slim, upright riding position and a compact Parallel-Twin engine tuned for low-mid range torque, the Versys 650 was designed to maximize rider enjoyment on the street – especially when the roads get twisty. The addition of rider support technology like KTRC contributes to the high level of rider confidence in a wide range of street-riding situations.
More Comfort and Convenience
Complementing updates to the upper cowl and windshield that offer increased wind protection for greater rider comfort on longer rides, new 4.3” full-colour instrumentation with smartphone connectivity allows riders to connect with their machine like never before, adding to a richer motorcycle lifestyle.
Emotional Design
Like the Versys 1100, the new Versys 650 features an emotional design to charm the rider. The much more flowing styling features a clear line of colour traceable from the front of the bike to the rear. A balanced use of colour and materials emphasizes the functional beauty of the bike’s individual parts and the sculpted bodywork shaped with rider comfort in mind.
TFT Colour Instrumentation with Smartphone Connectivity
The compact new 4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, highgrade appearance. The new meter also offers additional features unavailable on the previous model, including smartphone connectivity.
Slim, Upright Riding Position
Slim, upright position and wide handlebars offer a naturally relaxed posture and high controllability.
649 cm3 Liquid-Cooled, 4-Stroke Parallel Twin
Optimised for gratifying response in everyday riding situations, the exciting 649 cm3 Parallel Twin engine offers smooth, linear response, strong low-mid range torque and favourable fuel economy.
Increased Wind Protection
Together with the redesigned upper cowl, a new windshield offers increased wind protection, contributing to greater rider comfort and adding to the Versys 650’s potential as a capable touring partner. Its four positions can conveniently be adjusted from the rider’s seat.
LED Lightning
Complementing its LED taillight, new LED headlights add symmetry to the Versys 650’s “face.” LED turn signals add a modern touch, contributing to the bike’s good looks.
KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control)
Kawasaki's advanced traction control system provides both enhanced sport riding performance and the peace of mind under certain conditions to negotiate low-traction surfaces with confidence. Two modes allow riders to adjust settings to suit the riding situation and rider preference.
Latest Versys Family Styling
Redesigned upper cowl inspired by the Versys 1000 and a new windshield bring the Versys 650 in line with latest Versys family styling.
Long-Travel Suspension and 17” Wheels
The combination of long-travel suspension and sporty 17” wheels enables fun, sporty riding on a wide variety of roads and conditions.
Smartphone Connectivity
Smartphone connectivity contributes to an enhanced motorcycling experience by enabling riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly.
Dual Throttle Valves
Dual Throttle Valves offer increased power and greater ease of use care of a second set of ECU-controlled throttle valves.
Economical Riding Indicator
The Economical Riding Indicator is a mark appearing on the instrument panel to indicate favourable fuel consumption, encouraging fuel efficient riding.
ABS
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ensures stable braking performance by preventing wheel lock during braking.
