I had the first Versys 650. Despite the fact that it was the ugliest bike I’ve ever owned, it was the funnest bike I have ridden in a long time. Commute, tour, track, and hoolaginism-it did it all. While it wasn’t exceptional at anything, it literally could do everything. I have the luxury of owning multiple bikes, so I didn’t have a need to have a do all bike and sold it. If you can only own one bike, this is it. I’d probably go with the 1000 tho.

The first time that I ever saw a Kawasaki Versys, I thought that the styling was WAY TOO crazy. Especially all of the side pieces on the Versys. (They seemed to be over-engineered. Way too fancy and multi-colored). But, as the years have passed, now ALL motorcycles seem to have wild & crazy styling features, so the Versys just fits right in with the rest of them. Now, I own a low mileage 2009 (Generation 1) Versys 650, and I feel like it's a "perfect" motorcycle. I ride it almost every day, especially on days that I don't feel like riding it. I ride it anyways ! Then, it quickly changes my mind and makes me feel better ! BTW my Versys doesn't have any vibration noises. When I first bought my Versys-650, I found them and I fixed them all. (Now, my seat latches on tightly, too). I believe that all Kawasaki Versys 650 motorcycles are a pleasure to ride, (if properly maintained). 💚 Kawasaki 💚

My 2009 Versys-650 is amazingly fun to ride. Lightweight, and very nimble, compared to the Versys-1000. The 650 is not scary fast. It's very easy to ride wheelies on a Versys-650 and set the front end back down on the ground softly. 1000 cc bikes are much heavier and often damage their fork seals from riding wheelies and dropping the front end down, too hard. It's harder to stop a 1000cc bike. Forget about letting ABS control your stops. (Use Progressive Braking) My Versys-650 can do a stoppie, IN THE RAIN, and stop on a dime ! The Versys-650 gets better fuel mileage than the Versys-1000. It even gets better mileage than the X-300 ! Therefore, the Versys-650 is the perfect middle ground, between the Versys-1000 and the X-300. There's so many reasons why I love my Versys-650 that it's hard for me to find a single thing about it, that I don't like.

I have a Versys 650gt and I would have to say it is the closest thing to a "Goldilocks bike" I have ridden. It is great in city, great on windy roads, and comfortable for long rides... with the luggage kit it adds a back rest for the pillion and lots of storage for trips. I live in a smallish city surrounded by incredible countryside, it is a biker's paradise for windy hilly roads, but also where numerous large multi-lane highways converge and of course the in city riding, and the Versys 650 is great for all those conditions.

I'm very impressed with it just for the fact that it consumes zero oil and has very good freeway mpg given the fact the 300cc doesn't run very efficiently because of its lack of power , still manages around 52-58 mpg @ 76 mph , re geared taller . I'm guessing the 650 version of this motor is much much better .

I was riding a 700lb 1700cc triumph thunderbird as my first cruiser after three decades on dirt bikes and two on rockets. I dug the torque, but it wasn’t me. I recently got a 2010 versys for almost nothing with no miles in perfect condition. I haven’t had a bike in a few months and I normally have a couple It weighs half as much and it’s hard to describe. It’s just refreshing to ride. It’s not fast or slow. It’s peppy. It’s light and fun. On dirtbikes you barrel through corners. On a sport bike you throw the bike into a turn. The versys pitches and rolls with no effort. Cops ignore it. Don’t take it to Bonneville, or any track with a long straight,but it would do fine on a small technical track.

The Versys is easily the best bike at its price point, it is basically a baby Multistrada. I've put 6000mi on my 09 Versys since I bought it in August. It isn't without flaws, the motor on the older ones can be a bit vibey, the motor in general sounds kinda lame (as does pretty much every other parallel twin with a 180 degree crank). The interesting irony is the two main upgrade bikes from the Versys 650 are not Kawasakis, the Yahama FJ-09 (and Tracer 900 when it comes out later this year) and Ducati Multistrada 950 are the closest thing to a direct upgrade. The Versys 1000 is a much larger bike than the 650 and more akin to a smaller Concours than a bigger Versys.

Based on Sean’s review of the Kawasaki Vulcan 650s I bought one. (ABS as well) Funny thing is, I was at the multi-brand dealership (I’m a Novice and was looking to get back into bike ownership, sold my last bike in 1985-86?) and was torn between a Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive or the Vulcan 650. Sean’s reviews on both were great. I decided a motorcycle is safer than a Maxi Scooter (In my opinion) because you are part of the bike, legs wrapped around a motorcycle. On a Burgman I felt as though I was sitting on a bar stool which freaked me out at 70+ mph. Felt as though I could bounce off. After watching both of SRK’s reviews I went back to the dealership and purchased the Kaw Vulcan. I appreciate this review channel.

I’m not a fan of that dark windscreen. I have this same bike, minus the top case. I bought a clear Givi windscreen, larger than stock, but I prefer the factory screen and that’s all I use. Added heated grips, which are amazing on cold rides. It’s a great bike, and hard to match for the price. I got my 2015 LT as a new leftover in 2017 for $6500 out the door. Always enjoy your videos.

+t watson , I think this bike is probably the most well rounded practical street bike money can buy . It's going to be my next long term bike and after owning 27 bikes in my life the Versey 650 hits the nail on the head for someone who just needs a well handling and good bike to ride . When we get older having bikes that can roll on wheelies @ 80 mph and make you over develop certain muscles just to stay riding them just seems dumb 👍

I have a 2009 Ninja 650 and it was the perfect starter bike for me. It's enough power that you shouldn't get bored with it, but not so much that you'll be getting felony speeding charges just to have fun on it.

While they do come with screens, that one was aftermarket. There are a lot of screen options for it. The standard is clear, and has about a 4" adjustability on it

Great motorcycle I have a 2017 and I wanted to ask you about the dark windscreen. I have to change my wind shield and I do not know if vision is lost to see through it so dark, or it would be better to commission a lighter shield wind. You are happy with yours, and now that you have it ... would you buy it that dark again? Thank you!

Hi Marty, your eye level should always be above the screen anyway. Screens are for wind deflection not really made to look through. You can tuck in at times when really windy or heavy rain. Colours are just aesthetic and what looks cool with your bike.

Yo Sean, great channel bro. Watch all the time. I used to hit track days out west and this fine girl used to ride a beamer with the bags like this bike. She kicked a lot of guys asses on various bikes, so I agree, fun to ride and the position lends itself to good maneuverability, and oh yeah, it's practical if you wanna get outta town for a weekend, even off road. Great vids, and appreciate the words of wisdom. Get it!!!!

Mine looked the same except I had the stock windshield, just traded mine in. The Ninja engine is de-tuned for better MPG and better power performance carrying touring load. Mine was also much quieter.......and mine wouldn't raise the front end in second gear, and just barely in first.... that bike has been modified I went on the curves with my brother on his 1200, I wasn't pushing the Versys and he was dragging pegs thru every curve to keep up

I've noticed some Versys have a single aluminum(?) swing arm on the right side and a cheap swing arm on the left side and some have the cheap boxed steel one (like my $1000 TBR7) on both sides.

Mine never lifts the front like that. I am ~200lbs, I dont know if that's making the difference. Mines 2019 with no bags. I will say that it cruises at 5-6k rpm doing highway speeds, which isn't the best.
