I live North of Denver Colorado , I have a 2018 650 model , great bike , great engine , great handling

Thanks for sharing!

[@clivegreenall309]

No "oh my God" moments. LOL Well done gentlemen! (And Lady). I really smiled a lot in this episode. Great information and presentation. Ride Safe Keep the rubber side down.

[@zrkn1]

Very nice bikes and awesome accessories. Very useful information especially when they say ride smart and ride safe.

[@thumperwd]

Nice review. I like the vibes of this video. So positive and friendly. Ride safe guys!

[@Honzimus]

Thank you, excellent presentation combined with your guests and reviewers.

[@bhushantendulkar2484]

Very nice long term review of the V 650 by both the owners. Cheers MVG/VIR riders. The fuel economy mentioned by Anurag of his machine is very low than all V riders in India & definitely to be looked at. As mentioned by Vivek, it is very much capable of cornering & some boys here have tested it to its limits just like a sports bike. As is advertised by Kawasaki in India, Versys 650 is an adventure tourer & is certainly for munching miles after miles on highways, twisties with occassional bad roads. It is not a offroading bike but one can do a marginal offroading with proper care. Pavlin your lean is definitely towards a proper offroading machin & you have already mentioned earlier that this bike with a 21" front & 17" rear with spoke wheels will be a perfect machine for offroading ofcourse with a weight reduction of about 30-40 kg.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Definitely, if they make it, I will buy it.

[@disekjoumoer]

I really agree. A Versys with proper off-road wheels would be amazing.

[@ioar5481]

I’m totally agree with you. I own a 2017 and it is a perfect machine for on road long trips: confortable, very stable, good wind protection, enough power and torque, very capable brakes, excellent suspension. Off road is another issue. As you said you can do some offroading with proper care and proper tires but if you are intending to do a long ride which includes long distances offroading maybe the Versys is not the better choice.

[@BIG-K]

Excellent information, Anorak and Vivek. Thank you 👍

[@Roy_Godiksen]

Great video. Both parts. Actual real life riding experience is always the best experience.

[@tonyhuggins-haig7610]

great catching up with others to see what there thoughts are with their motorcycles, and making life long friendships. Ride safe Pav Tony

[@disekjoumoer]

Fantastic video, Pavlin and your two commentators are pretty smooth individuals, too. As a Versys owner, they make me proud 😊

[@barristophilliesiii5863]

Amazing videos! Just got myself a 2016 versys. This was a fantastic honest review from you guys. Thank you!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Our pleasure!

[@vijayrao6321]

Thanks for the review Anurag and Vivek. I'm in the US and contemplating getting the Versys 650 and you guys solidified my thinking.

[@firesail6707]

Thanks for the informative video, these are great points as I just picked up a '17 Versys. The custom crash bars look as good or better than the commercially available ones. Plus you're enticing me to ride in India.

[@PatriotNC1]

These folks obviously put a lot of miles on their bikes and ride in many different types of conditions. It's certainly testament to the ruggedness of the Versys and its reliability. Very nice people, and a well done video. :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks!

[@jaredholmes46]

This is the best video that I've been looking for! I'm a short rider, thinking to get this bike, and so much info from another short rider :)

[@icucode]

Thank you! I really liked to see the versys from their perspective.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lacix22]

Dont worry Tiger is out of budget in Eastern Europe as well

[@bikersquest]

IMO in the UK too haha unless second hand.

[@elendshuraglump3620]

Hi Pavlin, Anorak, Vivek and his nice wife are great. I like them. Ride safe, Hans

[@mikogarage]

Im in the middle of my journey with my Versys to Mt Bromo in East Java, Indonesia. watching this make me smile inside.....keep safety ride everyone

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good luck on your trip Miks!

[@bikerbakertravels]

Have a safe ride.

[@ThePalmatron]

Another good video! Thanks!!

[@jakubpukovec7755]

Excellent and very informative video from guys with plenty of experience, love it. Thank you very much guys! Great accessories BTW. I'm ballancing 50/50 between Versys 650 ABS and V-Strom 650 XT. Very difficult decision to be honest. I'm a bit missing traction control on Versys. I'm a new rider so I think it would worth it to have a bike with TC in the beginning at least. Keep the bike the wheel side down ;)

[@motorcycleadventures]

You are welcome anytime!

[@vivtsingh]

To be a great rider go for the bike with least aids.. But to be safe and comfortable go for the one with all of them

[@Willbillstop1]

Great review!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks!

[@bhupisayan1678]

[@sujoydey8469]

Pavlin you are looking thin...please eat well and take care of your health...happy riding bro...

[@lacix22]

These are nice people :-)

[@AdVoyager]

Hi Pavlin, very nice video again. I΄m curious to know why you don΄t say nothing about Honda transalp 700 !! 19 inch front wheel, trustful bike ... i like to know your opinion about this bike. Thanks you.

[@motorcycleadventures]

It is very well known model. Also to talk about it I need to ride it.

[@thej303]

The information in the videos were spot on.Thank you all 4.Can you do a review if possible of the 'SWM Super dual T' vs V-Stom vs Versys 650(which is more off road oriented?) -after market service parts cost & availability,service interval(kms),service quality-India & World touring point of view.Thank You.RIDE SAFE!

[@thej303]

These are the options available in India right now.

[@kirky0073]

Good vid, I really enjoyed this. PS....I'm riding a Tiger!

[@alexnuno]

Wonderful people. Like.

[@joaorocha_1972]

Oh meu God,momentos, epic!Nice people.

[@web_devs]

ek plat chow de bhai..😁

[@dagsolberg2852]

Very nice people!

[@gerardomusano6919]

I have been Reading about this bike and they said that it has a problem with the engine that it leaks oil

[@disekjoumoer]

Never had that problem myself and I haven't read about it on the Versys forums, to be honest.

[@vivtsingh]

It leaks nothing unless someone leaves the drain bolt or filter loose.

[@mohba01]

pavlin you should tell them why top box sucks

[@charlesg.8615]

Should i go for brandnew versys 650 or used versys 1000? It will be my first bigbike

[@motorcycleadventures]

This is the question you have to answer....

[@bikerbakertravels]

Smaller cc is always better to learn and improve.

[@charlesg.8615]

@@bikerbakertravels thank you! A way better answer. .
