The Versys 650 (especially 3rd and 4th generation models) is one of the most underrated and overlooked bikes for US buyers. It’s basically a more comfortable Ninja 650 with tall ergonomics, better suspension, and serious touring capability. Bike of the year in 2008 from several publications (obviously first gen) and since they’ve never been popular dealers are willing to move them cheap.
Picked up a brand new leftover 2023 for $8,000 this winter which is the appropriate price for this machine, IMO. It’s the kind of bike you don’t fully appreciate until you’ve owned a handful of others…. such an enjoyable performer no matter what kind of riding you are doing. Just light enough and powerful enough to keep the smile on your face all day too.
Ive had many many bikes and this one seems like a great all rounder to be a good companion to my off road adv bike, however its crept up in price a couple of grand, It may be a little high now especially new from a stealership. I love the look of the new one vs he last 2 years. that's a debacle
Truckers call it floating the gears if your not using the clutch. Not sure if a bike tranny is synchronize, if so you have to be more precise when selecting gears with rpms

Ray... a cigarette lighter on a motorcycle 😊... next you will be telling us that an ash tray is an optional extra 😊😊😊 Nice looking bike. Thanks for sharing mate 👍

গনেশজানা ভারতের 😮😮😮😮
Awesome video, that's the bike I asked about you test riding if one was available. Thanks for the ride and your thoughts on this bike.
That's Right , Shawn thanks for Commenting my friend 🙏🏻, Have a Great Sunday!!
I’m 5’6. Do you think I’d be comfortable on this bike? I know I can’t flat foot it but at least the ball of my foot? Gonna go buy one tomorrow. Lol
It's Extremely comfortable Benny!! You will love it, Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 and stay in Touch and let me know when you get it!
Ray, Suzuki has a road version of the V-STROM 800 DE, it's the V-STROM 800. I think you would dig the ride
I've seen one up there, I'll ride it soon!! Thanks for being apart of the Channel Carlos.

Always a debacle.

Yes. Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, you might be tip toeing. Have a great rest of your week!!
Dated, but still a great looking bike.
Maybe a little huh,Thanks for Watching and Commenting GPZ. HAVE a great Sunday.

Thanks for the smile 😃, Thanks for being apart of the Channel Les.
10k for a 650 w/o quick shifter, cruise…not sure that’s a good deal
Thanks for Watching 🙏🏻 and Commenting.
I think that’s absolutely spot on. No cruise - no deal on a tourer model. Same problem applies to Triumph Tiger 660 and it undercuts the Kwai by $$$
@csposir thanks for being apart of the Channel 🙏🏻.
Only someone who has never ridden a Versys 650 …doubt its value .
