You’re one of the reasons I bought this same exact bike in December. Same year same color everything. Absolutely in love with it. Thanks for all the work you put in👍🏼
Me too .... You totally sold me this bike.... Have one in orange, which i might paint in the new H2 dark candy green this winter.... I just need to find the dark screen you put on... Looks cool....
I bought a 2007 Versys in perfect condition. Previously I had a Diversion, SV 650 and Hornet 600. Versys is such a mixture of genres. A bit of a tourist, naked, crossover and supermoto. Lots of torque and does wheelies wonderfully
I saw this exact bike, used, sitting next to a ninja 650, also used, when my son and I were looking for a bike for him last fall. He chose the ninja, of course, he is 22. But I am an adv rider (VSTROM 1000) and tried to talk him into the Versys. I should have bought the Versys, just because I know it’s a great bike and affordable. Not that I needed another bike, I have 3, but because somebody I know will want to get into a bike and these are great bikes, even for the beginner.
Just got 2nd gen 2014 5k miles on it for 3900 . Its brand new owner died 2 years ago n bike was sitting . I changed the oil n filter . I also clean the chain n its run like a champ . Coming from klr 650 n ninja 1000 loved it .
Congrats! You will have a blast with it. Seems like a solid combination of your previous 2 bikes. Thanks for watching and extra thanks if you subscribed too.
@@Dailycozwerks yes thats what i was thinking last night . I am 220 lb n my wife 170 n i road it for 50 miles back roads twisty roads highway n city . What a easy bike to ride. I was surprised by highway performance n how much power twin has .
In 2020 I bought a cheap 2012 Ninja 650 after being bikeless for 20 years. It was too cramped but I liked the parallel twin engine so I traded it in for a new but old stock 19 Versys. For me the Versys really is a jack of all trades and the later ones have better suspension and brakes and are noticeably smoother. I occasionally miss the Ninja’s manic 7k up power delivery but for everything else the slightly calmer but still fun Versys wins. I look at other bikes (Like the KTM890R) but as an allround package and considering what I use the bike for the Versys really can’t be beaten.
Buying a blue 2009 tomorrow was a bit worried about Buying one.. this video made me feel so much more comfortable with the decision.. let you know how I get on. Great video Thanks
For the money, comfort, and reliability, they are hard to beat. Add the price point, and you really can’t blame people for getting this bike. While I get why people buy Indians and Harleys, imagine how much more they could do with a bike like this, and be more comfortable while doing it.
Planning on buying pretty much the same exact bike as this one minus the side bags from my manager lol such a cool bike especially as my first one couldn’t ask for anything better
I paid $3,700 for my 2009 Verseys 650 with just 5,050 miles on it. It came with a Highway worthy windscreen, (and the stock one) Musarri exhaust (and the stock one) Soft bags, and brand new Dunlops already installed on in ! Mine is in near mint condition, (showroom clean) ! It has the same Light Green Sparkle Paint as your bike, except my Tank Stickers are Black, rather than White. (It's Awesome) ! ! ! The previous two owners only rode this bike 5,050 miles in 12 years ! I easily put 2,000 miles on it in my first 10 days of ownership ! Here's five more reasons to buy a Versys 650. #5 They get great gas milage. Average; 48 MPG #4 (Status) People will often assume that you are rich when you are riding a shiny Sport / Touring Motorcycle. #3 Convenience stores tellers will always let you use the restroom (without even buying anything, first) #2 Chicks dig motorcycle rides. #1 A spare helmet that's DOT approved only cost $50 ! ! !
Bought a 2009 last month for my first bike, it is a awesome bike! Question for you, when you threw on that two brothers exhaust, did you have to retune your versys to get the most of your new exhaust? I wanna replace the stock exhaust but was told retuning might be mandatory.
Nope. No tune required. Bolt on and you are good to go. Congrats on the new bike and thanks for watching. Double thanks if you subscribed. I really appreciate the support.
I just bought a Light Green 2009 Versys 650 12 days ago. It only had 5,000 miles on it. It was Awesome ! I put another 2,000 miles on it in the first 10 days ! It's still Awesome ! The Versys 650 isn't my first motorcycle, ever. The Versys 650 is the best motorcycle, ever ! ! !
@@intergalacticbasketballdro7186 No way, im about to go check on a versys 650 2009 but in black that also has 8k(.5 more really) for 4k awesome! What do u recommend checking out on the bike!
The seat is really good. It being flatter than the OEM seats helps to better disperse your weight and eliminates the hot spots. Foam is supportive without being too hard.
Do you know where I can get the tail light?? I've got rear-ended, and the OEM part is like 300USD. ( I'm from Chile, but I'm willing to pay for international shipping)
Hi mate Can I take this bike for a little off road ride? Mostly I will be ridding on road but maybe be to a camping site I need to do a some off road? Thanks mate
Definitely! Tire choice goes a long way. I have taken it off road with the factory tires and was fine, but once I added Pirelli MT60RS tires I was handling hard off road stuff with ease. Thanks for watching, and double thanks if you subscribed. I appreciate the support.
@@Dailycozwerks pretty sure I won't be able to use my stock ones once I change the bars?? I gotta get a different set! I wanna get the touratech hard cases as well just gotta special order the mounting bracket
@@Dailycozwerks My friends BMW 1250GS average is 43. My Suzuki C50T boulevard averaged 43 and it's 170 lbs heavier. I was wrong thinking it would be around 50 and higher

Great motorbike. You missed out, the fastest ones are blue. Good video. Keep pimping the V, I do.
I'm picking up a 2017 special model by trading in my Honda cb125r and maybe my honda CB500S
I'm thinking about getting a Versys for my first bike. Thanks for the vid!
Definitely a smart choice! You'll love it.
Same here, I'm kinda torn between F 650 GS and the Versys, but I'm leanning towards the Versys more and more.
I bought one a year ago as a project/first bike before passing my licence. I’ve accidentally bought a great bike! It’s brilliant.

Hey, those are cool bikes!, I'm looking at a 2014 model, what pipe is that you have on there? Thx!
I always go with Two Brothers Racing pipes.
Is a 2007 versys 55000 km for 3k a good deal ? Seems like u got the same price for one woth 1000km??
It's not exactly a "Good deal" but it definitely sounds fair. If it's in good shape, I'd say go for it.
You think 2011 versus engine is have some difference ? I have now 2011 versus and I own before 2008 and I think 2008 is more comfy . Ok
Probably gonna get the same exhaust too! 🔥
Hi ! And what about the seat comfort ? Not just the seat position, but quality of the foam seat ? Thank you !
The seat is really good. It being flatter than the OEM seats helps to better disperse your weight and eliminates the hot spots. Foam is supportive without being too hard.
Hard to believe, in San Diego, this bike is hard to find....
Do you know where I can get the tail light?? I've got rear-ended, and the OEM part is like 300USD. ( I'm from Chile, but I'm willing to pay for international shipping)
I don't. Besides maybe scanning ebay for a used one. I would like just buy the OEM part from Kawasaki or take the opportunity to do something custom.
U have a touch on this type of thing.
Thank you 🤝

Can I take this bike for a little off road ride? Mostly I will be ridding on road but maybe be to a camping site I need to do a some off road?
