This is the best review on the Versys I have come across! Very helpful for a potential buyer. Your english is great BTW. Thank you for putting in the time to create this!
I like Russians and I like Russia. Some day, perhaps, I will get an opportunity to ride there. Who knows? But, if not, there are so many wonderful videos by experienced riders from all over the planet so, if one can't go in person, others, such as Mister Jibs will fill the void. Thanks for this post. I enjoyed your review and note how the bike has evolved from 2013 to my bike; which is the 2021 smoky grey with red accents model and looks fantastic. Kawasaki did a great job designing this excellent bike. To those of you contemplating a first bike or your next one, get a Versys 650 and see for yourself. Just don't drop it on your foot without proper boots on and even then, it's not a light weight motorcycle. Two years later my left foot still hurts. But, that is what happens if you fall in the wrong way on the wrong surface and can't jump free. Ah, well, if one is afraid of a little hurt or an odd scar, one is not living fully. Life is precarious at best. Might as well have some fun 'out there' in our 'dangerous' world. A great way to do that is on the back of a good motorcycle.
I fully agree with Comborico below, yours it is, by far, the best review of a motorcycle I've seen. I have a Versys 650 and learned a lot with you. Thank you so much
A better review than most, if not all videos on this model. More application and theory in practice. You proved that it is truly versatile. The newer models, I'm sure that you know, several of the bugs have been removed. Thank you.
I appreciate a review from someone that’s has actually pushed the bike past it’s limits in all scenarios and got some real mileage on the bike. You can’t learn anything useful from press launches spending an afternoon on the bike. Excellent review.
A friend sent me this video as I was just about to buy a used Versys. If only every product review was this thorough, thought out and genuine!!! Love the short stories, Russian scenery, camera angles and highlighting of the subtle details on riding. So very helpful! Thank you!
Currently, I am comparing the Kawasaki Versys 650 with the Honda cb500x with the intent to get one of these models. This video is the best review for the 650 I've found so far. Thanks~
Very good video, Jibs. Great that you had camera footage to support your points. Great documentation of all the costs and fixes. Very impressive! Now I really want a Versys.
From now, I want every bike review to take place in Russia. I think that the guys from Kawasaki in Japan have this video as a screensaver on their monitors :D Great job of yours :)
Well worth all your effort. Excellent review. Compiled from 4 years of footage? Absolutely priceless. Answered all my questions, and then some. Thank you very much!
Excellent Review on the 650 Versey. After 36 years of riding 1000cc+ 4 cylinder street bikes, riding the 650 is like riding a Swiss Army knife. The bike isn't great at anything, but it's good at most things. I prefer to use the bike on twisty secondary roads and rough country lanes and dirt roads. Thanks for a very in depth review. Excellent camera work, I really enjoyed the low angle view of the front wheel.
Dude. What a video! Thank you so much for this! It is indeed the 1st bike i ll buy. And i am saving your video along with another one, to remember. And your English is perfect. I did not understand only one thing. At 26.20 till 26.30, something will surprise us but didnt catch it. And again, thanks man
I bought a 2021 Versys 650 in August 22. So far I've ridden it for 22, 250 km. I really like this bike and it has seen some weird roads and carries the scars to prove it. My service manager put a child's band aid over one of the marks. I left it there. Atm it is in the shop getting a third rear tire and some warranty inspections. Should be out of the shop this upcoming week. Riding season has returned to Alberta and winter is finally over. Can't wait to hit the road. If life is boring, get a motorcycle. I am 73.5 years young. It's never 2 late to go adventuring. Ride safe you all.
Perfect video. When you are passing a lot of useful information, your language doesn't matter. I haven''t seen better review of Versys, than yours. I bought Versys (same model, but without ABS) about 2 months ago. Engine is not so smooth but, as you mention, torque gives a lot of fun. Good riding position, I have a 195 cm and same wind screen and it works perfectly. I need to experiment a bit with suspension, right now I'm using default setup. I also notice same as you that pipe below airbox is a bit wet, rest is clean and dry. Gearbox needs a bit more experience, than in other bikes, to change gears without clicks but its possible get it working smooth, except N->1 ;) Your skills are amazing, real urban/terrain explorer! I wait for more videos, especially for review after 100kkm!;) Best regards from Poland;)
Very usefull vidéo. I bought a Versys 2011 two weeks ago and your advices are going to help me a lot. it was a very good idea to translate your video. Congratulation for your english. It was perfectly clear. Good job, keep going !
Thank you for your comprehensive and honest viewpoint on your experience with the Kawasaki Versa 650 motorcycle. It is a bike that I have recently begun to think seriously about. I am a returning rider after 45 years and will be starting off a bit easy but am looking to be able to handle touring and occasional off road riding in addition to city road rides. Best wishes.
Thank you. Very comprehensive and english was crisp and easy to understand. I plan to buy a versys 650 soon and it's going to be my first motor cycle at age 62. I am a retired Indian Navy officer who is used to riding scooter, cycle and some motorcycles in the 70's. I am deeply motivated by your video. Sposeba Bolshoi
Excellent review!! In fact, I have not seen any review that comes even close to yours in terms of relevance of information. I just sold my V Strom 650 and I’ll be replacing it with either another V Strom 650 or Versys 650. Tough decision!
If I were you I'd take a Versys test-drive to compare. And thank you for a feedback. I wasn't sure this video would be watched by anyone except my subscribers.
Awesome video, you truly showed all the advantages and disadvantages of this wonderful motorcycle. I also have a 2012 Versys and it's my favorite bike I've ever owned. Stay safe and thank you again for this video.
The BEST review I have ever seen on a motorcycle. You covered every aspect, every detail without being boring, along with the specific video clip each time.
I've never viewed a more enjoyable and relevant bike review as this. Road conditions as shown in the review is very similar to the ones in Malaysia i.e. full of potholes where they are expected or unexpected. As an added value he also shared some wear-and-tear that we need to look out for. Most amazing is when he hot off a highway and onto the bushes and back again ! I must try this trick one of these days !
Never have a seen a better bike review, not only do you mention everything about the bike. But also the way you filmed and edited the video. Never seen such a complete motorcycle review and i'm only 15 minutes in, i just realized i'm only halfway this video. Thanks from The Netherlands. Nice bike, great review.
Best bike on the planet...nothing can beat this bike..it has everything you need,.for its price,no bike can compete..best bang for the buck!nice review from a real world rider..spot on..no bs,no non sense..just pure comprehensive review...
Thanks for taking the toll to talk english. Great job with both the english and the bike review itself. You really put the Vesrys through a lot of things that other youtube-reviewers do not, and your conclusions end verdicts are very useful to others! Thanks again!
You made me love my Versys 650 2013 even more. And I agree with you in all the points you said. It was my first ever motorbike. I did 27000 kms in 18 months, it never failed to please me on road and off road.
her is another algerien looking for versys rewiew.I aloso watch your short review about your green one lol,I followed your recent news about having a general mantenance.I think I'm really thinking of buying one
@@yahiaouisoufiane8000 i'm glad that you enjoyed my video about the Versys. It's a great bike and i'll recommend it to anyone. Also i hope we can meet one day for a coffee 😀 In case you are interested to buy one, mine is for sale 😊
Congrats to your first english video! It was awesome, it resolved my issues big time. Great job in camera department, great details of everything on the bike. Hope you make another one to watch....
the amount of information is incredible! I love that russians are never scared to show everything and each situation you can get in! I have just started my driving license for motorbikes, and im considering to buy one of these models - Kawasaki Versus, Honda Transalp 600/650, Yamaha Tenere 660, i love the Honda Transalp, but its much older bike, the lack of ABS or 6-th gear is also not pleasing, and since in newbie i dont think i will jump on a 10,000km adventure with some medium to moderate offroad, but i wish to use the bike as a daily comuter to work and also on my rest days to go traveling around and explore! Thank you for your video as it opened my vision for the Versys A LOT! The best one i've watched so far! Спасибо из Болгария!
I am looking at buying one of these bikes. This is a brilliant video that tells people everything they need to know. This is the best video on TH-cam about the Versus. Thank you sir.
I’ve sent this to a mate because I am looking at a Versys myself. Thank you for validating my gut instincts about this bike … well done mate. And nothing wrong with your English either!
Excelent video! I'm interested on buying a new motorcycle and recently I started watching videos of different mid size motorcycles. A few day a go, the Versys got my attention and I started watching videos in english and spanish (my native language) and I can say with confidence that this is the best review of a Kawasaki Versys in TH-cam. Thank you for your time and dedication on making this video.
I often have trouble understanding accents that are different than mine. However, your English is very good and I had no trouble. Your review was very good and I appreciate you making the time to make it.
Thank you for the work you put in on this video. I just purchased a new 2020 650 LT, which I bought based solely on the reviews, having never actually ridden it yet. This video validated my choice in a way no other has. My original choice was a Tenere 700, but they are unavailable here until sometime in June. I definitely plan to do some light off-roading, though obviously nothing like what the Tenere is capable of. Glad to see it will handle some of the situations I had in mind. Need to get new tires for sure. As others have said, your English is very good, and I'm sure it's even better now after a couple more years of practice. Good work!
Thank you for a pertinent data review. You furnished appropriate datum; personal, mechanical, environmental, and logistical. You're the first person I've ever seen who showed curb/stair crossing and an example of ground clearance datum. Excellent review.
Great video. The most thorough Versys review have seen. Thanks for your careful observations. I just got a Versys (just 200 mi.,so far} and your video has taught me alot.
Wow, very good review. I have same model but non-abs. I got it 2nd hand, it had 12k km when I bought it. Now it's 50k km. I consider it my best bike I didn't originally want. I got it by accident, literally. It's my friend's bike which I borrowed and I crashed. He agreed to let me buy from him, so I got it repaired. At first I didn't use it much because I prefered sport bikes. But when I had no other bikes around, I started using it more. Now, my other bikes only get used when I'm in the mood. The versys is my go to bike for everything, commute or cross country. For tires, Ives used shinko 705 and I find them very cost effective and useful for various terrains. Thanks for your very comprehensive video. Makes me appreciate my bike more
All I can say is THANK YOU! Hands down the BEST motorcycle review I have ever seen! Your English was beyond acceptable, I had 0 problems understanding you. I was looking for an Adventure bike as I cam a dirt biker. I was looking for something like an adventure bike but was purely for street. Well after watching your video I can say with out a shadow of a doubt, this bike I have been looking for. Again I can't thank you enough for making this kind of content!
Your review was quite well presented…my primary language is English & I had no issues in understanding your comments/remarks…a very thorough & thoughtful report👍
Fantastic. I’ve been watching all the Kawasaki Versys 650 videos I can find and this is the best one I’ve seen. Very thorough in detail and excellent video quality from many angles. Oh, don’t apologize for your English… It’s better than many Americans.
Super awesome video. Much love from the USA. 👍 you've done things on this bike I didnt realize I wanted to do. And shown its versatile capabilities. Pretty good riding skills also. Good job.
Good to have torque available at lower rpm, good for fuel economy and daily use in the city. The message I get from your video is that Versys is a good machine and I am glad it is working for you. Moscow, nice, the "corkscrew" building at 13:17 gives it away. Zhivopisny Bridge at the beginning was our other good clue. Best wishes from Vancouver, Canada.
Thank you very much for this - it is far more real-world useful than 95% of others I have seen. Super useful, and answered many of the exact questions I had.
Excellent! I owned one of these fine motorcycles for almost 3 years. It was one of my all-time favourites. If anyone is contemplating buying a 650 Versys they should watch this video first. This is a very good and accurate description of the bike and its capabilities.
Greetings from the Philippines fellow versys owner! Awesome review by the way.. Your English is spot on man. No need to apologise. You speak very clear and easy to understand.. I love this bike. If I'm to choose one bike to own it would be versys 650..its perfect for me. Cheap to maintain, very reliable and durable. Its tough as nail and can almost get you everywhere.. Gas consumption is frugal, power is decent and ergonomics is fantastic. I can ride this beauty all day long.. Ride safe always
Excellent job. Most reviewers shy away from testing this particular motorcycle off road in any great detail. You proved to me that this motorbike is completely capable. I’m sure because of this review, my next motorcycle will be a Kawasaki Versys 650. Thank you for a wonderful video. By the way, you’re a maniac my friend. But in a good way. Your English is also pretty darn good as well. Stay safe while having fun!
The video was very useful .. because you mentioned a lot of important information and important numbers .. Continue with another video so that we can all benefit👍👌
Honestly amazing video, even 4 years later. I have been looking in to purchase this as my first actual motorcycle. I had purchased the CSC TT250 as a starter, and 2 years for owning, 3 months of legal road riding (just got my license at age 18), it leaves me wanting more. Thanks for this review. Helps a lot actually.
You have no idea how much has this meant to me - so well rounded review, everything explained through examples. I am scheduled to try out used Versys 650 day after tomorrow and your review just solidified my determination that this is THE bike. Thanks!
Great review ! Very comprehensive ! I've had mine for 4 years now , seat can be improved by using a small sheepskin , I replaced the standard footpegs for Puig wide ones for comfort, and ditched the original exhaust for a scorpion can which made it lighter and sounds better ! Hope you keep enjoying it !
Fantastic. Incredible review and riding skills. Really enjoyed the variety of conditions demonstrated along with the wear items and remediation. Your English is very good as well. Thank you!
This is the best review of a motorcycle I've ever seen, and I'm just 6 minutes into the video. Russians are an amazing people!
Thanks :)
I agree. And your English is great.
I agree with all comments here! Great job!
Unless they are Putin or associate of Putin lol
But he failed to mention YEAR MODEL!?
This is the best review on the Versys I have come across! Very helpful for a potential buyer.
Your english is great BTW. Thank you for putting in the time to create this!
Thank you for a feedback! I'm glad to hear that it wasn't a wasting of time.
Yes Jibs, thanks so much. Great job. 👍

Best review hands down! Practical, on point, comprehensive. Very well organized and awesome filming and editing.
This is the best review I have ever seen in my nearly 50 years of riding. I am looking to buy one of these. Thank you!
Thanks! I did my best.
Great, in-depth review...
how all motorcycle reviews should be
Great video. Your English is very good. Making the most of the versy's with the kind of riding your doing.
The most comprehensive review of a Versys 650 available. Thank you.
I fully agree with Comborico below, yours it is, by far, the best review of a motorcycle I've seen. I have a Versys 650 and learned a lot with you. Thank you so much
You're welcome. I didn't expect to receive so many comments from people all over the world.
A better review than most, if not all videos on this model. More application and theory in practice. You proved that it is truly versatile. The newer models, I'm sure that you know, several of the bugs have been removed. Thank you.
I appreciate a review from someone that’s has actually pushed the bike past it’s limits in all scenarios and got some real mileage on the bike. You can’t learn anything useful from press launches spending an afternoon on the bike. Excellent review.
A friend sent me this video as I was just about to buy a used Versys. If only every product review was this thorough, thought out and genuine!!! Love the short stories, Russian scenery, camera angles and highlighting of the subtle details on riding. So very helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome
Currently, I am comparing the Kawasaki Versys 650 with the Honda cb500x with the intent to get one of these models.
This video is the best review for the 650 I've found so far. Thanks~
Very good video, Jibs. Great that you had camera footage to support your points. Great documentation of all the costs and fixes. Very impressive! Now I really want a Versys.
Thank you so much for this. I see that you demand a lot from your bike, and that makes your perspective more valuable than others I've seen.
Extremely thorough review, thanks for that! Very detailed and objective.
From now, I want every bike review to take place in Russia. I think that the guys from Kawasaki in Japan have this video as a screensaver on their monitors :D Great job of yours :)
Thanks! :)))
Well worth all your effort. Excellent review. Compiled from 4 years of footage? Absolutely priceless. Answered all my questions, and then some. Thank you very much!
Top - notch, real world review of a real world motorcycle. Hats off. Oh, and your English is just fine.
Thanks for taking the time to do this especially in your second language.
The best motorcycle review by far. Well done. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Excellent Review on the 650 Versey. After 36 years of riding 1000cc+ 4 cylinder street bikes, riding the 650 is like riding a Swiss Army knife. The bike isn't great at anything, but it's good at most things. I prefer to use the bike on twisty secondary roads and rough country lanes and dirt roads. Thanks for a very in depth review. Excellent camera work, I really enjoyed the low angle view of the front wheel.
Dude. What a video! Thank you so much for this! It is indeed the 1st bike i ll buy. And i am saving your video along with another one, to remember. And your English is perfect. I did not understand only one thing. At 26.20 till 26.30, something will surprise us but didnt catch it. And again, thanks man
I said "you just have to remember that 64 feeble ponies might surprise you" :)
@@Jibs0912 you can see I am not accustomed to the jargon. Have you upgraded ?
Not yet, there are some more important things to spend money on.
Oh god finally someone not reading the spec sheet.. Thanks thanks thanks and thousand times thanks my russian friend!!
You're welcome :)
One of the best reviews available on you tube 🎉🎉
That was the most practical review of a motorcycle I have ever seen. I wonder what your business under the road crossing bridge was.
Thanks!
It was a quest. Guys hid something there but i couldn't find.

A few day a go, the Versys got my attention and I started watching videos in english and spanish (my native language) and I can say with confidence that this is the best review of a Kawasaki Versys in TH-cam.
Thank you for your time and dedication on making this video.
This production is about the best I have seen for the Versys. Thank you for taking the time I'm sure it was not easy. Great job!!!.
Brilliant real world review. English is great!
I often have trouble understanding accents that are different than mine. However, your English is very good and I had no trouble. Your review was very good and I appreciate you making the time to make it.

You did a great job! I really enjoyed it and the 30 min flew by. This helped me make the decision to buy a Versys
4 years late but I appreciate the review of the versys it gives me an out look on what to expect.

I got it by accident, literally. It's my friend's bike which I borrowed and I crashed. He agreed to let me buy from him, so I got it repaired. At first I didn't use it much because I prefered sport bikes. But when I had no other bikes around, I started using it more. Now, my other bikes only get used when I'm in the mood. The versys is my go to bike for everything, commute or cross country. For tires, Ives used shinko 705 and I find them very cost effective and useful for various terrains. Thanks for your very comprehensive video. Makes me appreciate my bike more
You proved again that Versys is underestimated bike.
Thank you for comment :)
All I can say is THANK YOU! Hands down the BEST motorcycle review I have ever seen! Your English was beyond acceptable, I had 0 problems understanding you. I was looking for an Adventure bike as I cam a dirt biker. I was looking for something like an adventure bike but was purely for street. Well after watching your video I can say with out a shadow of a doubt, this bike I have been looking for. Again I can't thank you enough for making this kind of content!
You crazy man! Riding up stairs and up and down highway hills!
Very good video, many unique comments I didn't find anywhere else. Thank you
Your review was quite well presented…my primary language is English & I had no issues in understanding your comments/remarks…a very thorough & thoughtful report👍
This was the very best review of any motorcycle I have ever watched. Thank you! You did an amazing job. Fantastic.
Thanks!
You have summed up the Versys very well! I love my Versys and have had it for 10 years
Fantastic. I’ve been watching all the Kawasaki Versys 650 videos I can find and this is the best one I’ve seen. Very thorough in detail and excellent video quality from many angles. Oh, don’t apologize for your English… It’s better than many Americans.
Super awesome video. Much love from the USA. 👍 you've done things on this bike I didnt realize I wanted to do. And shown its versatile capabilities. Pretty good riding skills also. Good job.
Thanks for your time and energy in this preparing and making this vid. Your English is fine. I just bought a Versys 650GT 2018 model.
Great video of long term and real life use. I am even more excited about my new 2018 Versys 650 purchase than before.
Good to have torque available at lower rpm, good for fuel economy and daily use in the city. The message I get from your video is that Versys is a good machine and I am glad it is working for you. Moscow, nice, the "corkscrew" building at 13:17 gives it away. Zhivopisny Bridge at the beginning was our other good clue. Best wishes from Vancouver, Canada.
Thank you very much for this - it is far more real-world useful than 95% of others I have seen. Super useful, and answered many of the exact questions I had.
I'm glad I helped you
Excellent! I owned one of these fine motorcycles for almost 3 years. It was one of my all-time favourites.
If anyone is contemplating buying a 650 Versys they should watch this video first.
This is a very good and accurate description of the bike and its capabilities.
Thanks.
Greetings from the Philippines fellow versys owner! Awesome review by the way.. Your English is spot on man. No need to apologise. You speak very clear and easy to understand.. I love this bike. If I'm to choose one bike to own it would be versys 650..its perfect for me. Cheap to maintain, very reliable and durable. Its tough as nail and can almost get you everywhere.. Gas consumption is frugal, power is decent and ergonomics is fantastic. I can ride this beauty all day long.. Ride safe always
Excellent job. Most reviewers shy away from testing this particular motorcycle off road in any great detail. You proved to me that this motorbike is completely capable. I’m sure because of this review, my next motorcycle will be a Kawasaki Versys 650. Thank you for a wonderful video. By the way, you’re a maniac my friend. But in a good way. Your English is also pretty darn good as well. Stay safe while having fun!
Thanks :)
That's one of the best motorbike reviews i've seen, good job man, safe riding!
Amazing job that you have done. Congratulations!
Thanks. Nice to hear that.
I admire your true assessment. I am planning to get one and the truth is that I will enjoy it. I am a daily commuter and this will serve me well.
Thank you, that's an amazing review. I got the Versys 2018 one. I will keep things in mind.
Wow, Jibs, thank you for taking the time to do this indepth review.
Great review. Your English is just fine. Thanks for taking the time to post this. Much appreciated.
Its the best review I have seen for this motorbike. With a long difference. Good job mate, VERY good job. Best for you!
The video was very useful .. because you mentioned a lot of important information and important numbers .. Continue with another video so that we can all benefit👍👌
Honestly amazing video, even 4 years later. I have been looking in to purchase this as my first actual motorcycle. I had purchased the CSC TT250 as a starter, and 2 years for owning, 3 months of legal road riding (just got my license at age 18), it leaves me wanting more. Thanks for this review. Helps a lot actually.
You have no idea how much has this meant to me - so well rounded review, everything explained through examples. I am scheduled to try out used Versys 650 day after tomorrow and your review just solidified my determination that this is THE bike. Thanks!
You're welcome :)
Great review ! Very comprehensive ! I've had mine for 4 years now , seat can be improved by using a small sheepskin , I replaced the standard footpegs for Puig wide ones for comfort, and ditched the original exhaust for a scorpion can which made it lighter and sounds better ! Hope you keep enjoying it !
Fantastic. Incredible review and riding skills. Really enjoyed the variety of conditions demonstrated along with the wear items and remediation. Your English is very good as well. Thank you!
You speak exellent English, love your country and people
Thanks!
