Kawasaki Versys 650 2022 Experiences and Expert Review

Der Horvath

Relaxed touring with plenty of comfort and enough potential for cornering fun - the Versys 650 is and remains a good choice among mid-range sport tourers.

If you enjoy touring and can get by with a little less power, the Versys 650 is a good choice!
