Drawbacks: no cruise control, no center stand. For that purpose long travel becomes tricky (tiresome driving, cannot lubricate chain alone). But the consumption isn't that high, unless you race of course (talking about unlocked model).
After riding in the night I may safely claim that the high beam of that bike is unfortunately only effective as a low beam. Therefore if you plan riding in the night that bike is not suitable for the highway at all as the visibility is limited to 70m.
Very nice review thank you! I just have one question, so this is the 48HP version, does the dealer restrict it? So this same bike can be 67 HP? Just the dealer changes the software ?? It's very important to me to get answer to this question because i am going to buy same Versys 650, but the dealer said they can make it 48HP or 67HP at the dealership. Is that true or no?
Hello, yes, that's what the my dealer told me as well. They restrict or derestrict it a the dealership. I had a Z900 with 48 HP and was thinking of opening it up to 95 HP. It would have cost me about 400 EUR :(
@@BenalRida Ohh, thank you very much really!!! Because i thought that at my dealer ship are lying me and want to sell me 48hp version at the price of 67hp. And again Can you contact me at private message please, i have one more question that i want to ask you, i will be very thankfull!
Great review, is the price bump of this bike compared to cb500x is reasonable? Should i go for the Honda or save for Kawasaki. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
Thank you for the support of Ukraine! I have had honda cb500x 2018 and now i am thinking about a new one. really hesitate between this bike, honda nc750x, suzuki v-storm 650xt, yamaha MT-07 Tracer. after your review i am more inclined to Kawasaki. I am particularly pleased with the height of the saddle on this motorcycle) cheers!
I'm not sure, 6.1l/100km is pretty bad for such a small engine, vfr1200x I thought is bad but needs around 6.5l/100km. For more comparison: cb500x - 3.5l, nc750x - 4l. With current fuel prices, at least in Europe, it's an important factor.
I’m seriously considering this bike but I worry about the throttle control and fuelling. It’s hard to get a good bike without these issues. I hear that 1st and 2nd gear can shutter when taking off. If you can confirm or deny this I will be very grateful.
Great review BenalRida. Like you, I also have an XMax 300 which is perfect for day-to-day use (especially after upgrading the suspension), but I want something a bit bigger for longer rides and carrying a pillion. I'm looking at this Versys 650 as well as the Triumph Tiger Sport 660. For me, the bike must have the option of luggage (which both have), adjustable rear suspension (tick for both) and enough power for two-up (hmm, maybe). Pity there is no cruise control.
It's not smart to get a mid size for 2 riders unless you both add up to less than 200lbs and travel lightly. You'll have less regrets with 1000cc. 6-700s aren't really built for 2-up touring. They will be maxed out in both weight+power.
I’ve put in my preorder for this bike this week. Only with supply problems the estimated delivery time is set somewhere in september. Which doesn’t really matter since my final motorcycle exam is coincidentally scheduled at the same day that the bike is supposed to be delivered.
Congratulations for the video! ! It would be fantastic subtittles in spanish to understand better the reviuw. Thank you very much and good to see you from Zaragoza (Spain ). 👍 ✌

Great vid Motorider, cheers mate.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thank you for the review and for the yellow-blue heart!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the post I am waiting for 2022 versus review since 5 months
Conflicting info about the Color LCD - many say the 20222 did not get it. Maybe mid model year?
Hello, this was the model year 2022 and it had the new display. What else can I say?!?!

I owned a CB500X before and I personally would now tend toward the Kawasaki.
Have ridden both, the Versys 650 is brilliant, commute, tour or blast.
Hello there! Thanks for the video. What's tbe official fuel consumption per 100km?
Interestingly enough I couldn't find this on any of the Kawasaki websites.
@@BenalRida Looks like this is something they are not pride of 🙂

Hello, I cannot really confirm it, however, with 48 HP bikes I have noticed in the past that the throttle is very twitchy.
I don't have problems with gear and I have 2021 model

Well, then I wish you good luck with your exam and with the speedy delivery of your new bike. Greetings!
Nice bike, next time I want this bike 🤗
Does this bike come with the Flash-to-Pass button?
Good question, my Z900 had this, so I assume it is the same on this bike.
What is approximate height required to handle this bike?
Personally I think about my height, I am 1,75 m.
Does this have a center stand?
Hello, as far as I know it does not come with one.
Thumbs up 👍
Have a good one
Thanks, you too!
Hi bro nice to see ur videos
Thank you so much 🙂
I have a white one, I like the green better...
Congratulations for the video! !
It would be fantastic subtittles in spanish to understand better the reviuw.
Thank you very much and good to see you from Zaragoza (Spain ).
👍 ✌
How tall are you ?
1,75 m
@@BenalRida thank you sir, i just 1,67m .
I don't know if the motorcycle company provides support for the driver to lower the saddle height?
@@tuannguyen-mkt7505 I am sorry, I don't know. You would need to contact your Kawasaki dealer for this.
@@BenalRida thank you so much
