Kawasaki Versys 650 vs Triumph Tiger 660 vs Suzuki V-Strom 650XT - 650cc Adventure War | MotorBeam

Only if the MotoMorini X-Cape was here on time, the competition would be even bigger! Winners are as follows - Value For Money - Versys Sportbike - Tiger Touring - VStrom

[@ChrisBOMtoATL]

Moto Morini cannot be compared as they still have a long way to go in Indian market. CF Moto has a horrible reputation here in States in many states due to poor dealership and after sales spare related experience. Being Chinese built, the moto Morini looks great but is yet to understand the requirements of Indian market. I'd only chose Moto Morini over versys if I don't mind selling it within months. Better stick to Japanese as per my experience on owning few bikes back in India as well as here in States.

Cost of VStrom 650XT vs Versys 650 … Versys 900 is almost same with VStrom 650 XT on our side.

[@subhasisbiswas5650]

I personally prefer halogen headlights over led..... Specifically when a upcoming traffic is using highbeam, the light from led just get lost into nothingness...... And also yes in rain and foggy situations halogen performs better than led....... Although led gives better illumination in absolute dark situations. Halogen headlamp + led foglamp is best combo for me❤......

Amber (not yellow) headlights are good on heavy rains and fogs situation in terms of visibility. Rather rare to find amber on Led but easy to find for halogens.

Took test ride of versys 650, Trk 502 and tiger 660. Versys was the only I could tell my wife to hop on as a pillion after my test drive. Versys just felt like it ticked all the boxes, after Trk test drive I thought I lost by balls because of uncomfortable seats and it was just too big which just made no sense. Tiger was most sporty and it gave me the kicks so ez to sprint it to 100. Versys felt like all rounder, so booked versys and wait for a month or so begins.

With traction control and led lights, new versys is best VFM bike. You also have a great and very helpful Versys community in each part of our country...heat management is superb...only cons are the seat height and stock tyres.

Any motorcycle for that matter the seat is standard. So the first thing you need to consider is to customize your seat and seating position to your comfort before going for other adjustments. You have to have an ergonomic seating position on the motorcycle. It took me at least 3 to 6 months to finally have the perfect customization of my motorcycle seat where I can ride non-stop until the tank fuel empties.

[@victorherrero4790]

Good video. My 20 cents: 1 Vstrom: best all rounder, bulletproof engine, can take some light off road, some amount of electronics. 2. Versys: the most confortable, new tech aids, good engine. For me the most confortable. 3. Tiger: the sporty one, newest, more tech, but expensive and not as reliable. I go for the Vstrom.

The V-Strom gets my vote. You just can't beat that sweet, V-twin engine. It is the finest all-around 70-ish horsepower in motorcycle-dom. I have been riding for over 50 years, and currently own two of them - a DL650 V-Strom 650 Adventure, and an SV650. I recommend snatching one up if you get the chance. And by the way... Based on sound alone, that Triumph is in a league of its own.

[@andrewroberts6123]

I ride a Versys 650. Best road handling. The seat is the most comfortable. The Parallel Twin Engine is also bulletproof. The Triumph's 3 cylinder engine runs much hotter than the V-Strom & Versys.

Im living in the Netherlands and currently owning tiger sport 660. Before i had honda cb500x. Have driven vstorm 650 and versys 650. The cb500x was an extremely good and a perfect all rounder with sufficient power but looked like a normal bike have done trips to germany with big companions and its easy to copeup with them because of its versatility. Versys 650 felt the top heaviness and too much weight to handle in standstill. Vstorm was very excellent, comfortable , loved the vtwin power but the only thing is outdated looks. Having triumph tiger sport 660 now its a very powerful engine , nice handling and a good tourer with replacement of stock screen. And as you stated the heat emission is more compared to the three (most of 3/4 cylinders behaviour) and 150 mm of ground clearance(definitely not adventure) . So these two cons definitely not suitable for indian road conditions . Very good review keep up the great work 👍

Versys are very top heavy unfriendly riding experience and Dunlop tyres are scary when you ride even on normal roads, plus it's boring to ride a versys with low power. Triumph is puny and pricey plus dicey service experience where 9/10 are bad experiences from owners, and it's so hot you can't practically ride it unless you're in Switzerland. I think Suzuki is the best to go and choice it ticks all the boxes and better mileage than all big and amazing bike

[@brendonfernandes2877]

Calling a Versys as low powered when it can touch 190 kph is a bit much. If you are riding on the track its a bit underpowered but for the roads it has much more power than anyone will ever need. The Dunlop tyres aren't the best for sure but they are not so bad either. Mine are already at 12k kms and I just did a 600 km round trip without issues. Not a single puncture either so far. And the engine has the best heat management amount the 650cc class of motorcycles. You want to know what heat is ride the Tiger 660. The VStrom is so much more expensive that you can service the Kawasaki bike for 5 years, travel for multiple trips and still pay less than what a new Suzuki VStrom costs. And talking about mileage when you are considering such expensive bikes is probably the silliest thing I can think off. If you are so concerned with mileage go and tour on a Splendor.

[@MaddyAnand]

@@brendonfernandes2877 compare this with vstrom and 660 that’s what I felt on normal roads. I own a Vstrom after riding a versys for over a year did over 5000+ kms on it. Hence my comment. It’s not about how fast it can go it’s about how much torque and power you got in the bends, mountains and bad roads.. versys fails in relative performance with vstrom and 660. On its own it’s a great bike

[@brendonfernandes2877]

@@MaddyAnand The VStrom makes 6% more power than the Versys. Maybe the gearing of the Versys didn't suit your needs but calling a bike that makes 6% less power underpowered is the most ridiculous thing you can say. The Tiger 660 makes 20% more power than the VStrom so that's at least a significant difference in performance. 6% simply isn't any real meaningful difference in the real world. Given the substantial price difference between the Versys and VStrom you can flash the ecu of the Versys to change the character of the engine a bit and still save a lot of money.

[@MaddyAnand]

@@brendonfernandes2877 I guess you haven’t ridden the bike. 6% can be averaged out during power output calculations. There is something called torque as well. Power output varies with rpms. Versys is relatively top heavy as well as under powered. Only now they got traction control which vstrom had since a long time. It’s a known fact now that versys has more shortcomings than that of versys if you google enough around or ask riders. you may argue to all that you may fancy or to fill your whim to the brim but facts won’t change. Looks like you favour the bike and hence biased towards it. I rest my case and conclude vstrom is way better than versys.

The Adjustment numbers on the clutch lever on a Kawasaki Versys 650 isn't for quickly adjusting the clutch cable. It's for adjusting the lever position.

What you mentioned about the Kawasaki's headlight management is true, but you only mentioned the half of it. When the engine is fired on and then switched off using the kill switch, the engine switches off, but not the headlight, so in a way, its just like the Triumph and the Suzuki, though they stay on irrespective of engine is on or not. So, in a nutshell, all the 3 bikes have a useless engine kill switch as one HAS to switch off the engine with the key itself when stopping at traffic signals in order to save the battery.

Man, that would suck having to put a licence plate on the front of the motorbike.

[@dreamscapemeditation]

Also try the CFMOTO 650MT and 800MT

[@himailsangha3973]

Honda 500X...yes i know the probable reactions.... BUT!!! Its a serious contender 1. Mileage equal Range means less carrying fuel. 2. Power is more than enough for Indian touring conditions. 3. Sevice costs never above 2.5k. 4. Bigwing Honda now everywhere. 5. Indian components NIL. 6. Name HONDA means dependable. 7. Remember Hondas are for around the world trips. 8. Cons..... Just not advertised well, not owned by many Lastly kerb weight 199 kgs what?? P.S Im a proud owner of one

[@mickleblade]

Did you know the Cb500x is way more expensive in India than it is in Europe? Look it up...

[@brendonfernandes2877]

The Honda is a great machine but it's price is unpalatable in India given you get much more powerful bikes for a little bit more. I mean if 45 bhp is enough for you why not save a ton of money and go for the ktm adventure 390 which is far cheaper than the Honda while making similar power and having a hundred service center more for every one Honda Big wing? Or just go for an Xpulse as power is more than enough for Indian touring conditions as you mentioned?

[@mickleblade]

@@brendonfernandes2877 it depends on your usage, a ktm390 would be bad for 130kph, the Honda is just about ok

[@brendonfernandes2877]

@@mickleblade Why is the Ktm bad at 130 kph? My friend who owns one regularly cruises at 140 kph on his ktm in Germany. Both have similar power figures and the ktm is lighter as well

@@brendonfernandes2877 really? I haven't heard that before, sounds OK then, I still prefer the cb though!

the best is vstrom. it can handle 180kmph for an hour easily

Well with a BIG girl riding pillion I'll take the v storm 😂😅😊 so I don't get squished around... but then the unlimited warranty on the tiger makes me wanna break up 😮 so what should I do ??? Ps nice way to check ground clearance... using a tape measure might be safer😊

[@sharunratnakaran9176]

Should have added TRK 502 also in this comparison!!

[@brendonfernandes2877]

The TRK is more a competitor to the KTM Adventure 390.

Hope the Upcoming V Strom 650 will be modern and more powerfull..😍 It's under testing along with new SV650

[@brendonfernandes2877]

Ah you had mentioned Versys before and I was confused wondering when the Versys was being updated. Yeah since Suzuki are changing the engine itself hopefully it's a nice big upgrade. Unfortunately with the upgrade the already stiff price will become even steeper.

[@abymathew295]

@@brendonfernandes2877 . I meant to say V Strom, but instead wrote Versys...Took it down once after I noticed the mistake..😄

@@brendonfernandes2877 . The new Suzuki mill is a 750cc Parallel twin, instead of its traditional V2 configuration...Can expect a Power figure around 80 - 85 bhp Same as the Upcoming Honda Hornet.

[@brendonfernandes2877]

@@abymathew295 Yeah I read that but it will be strange to see Suzuki moving away from V Twins considering it's called the V Strom. Maybe now they will call it the P Strom? 😂

[@abymathew295]

@@brendonfernandes2877 . Probably...😄 But they can replicate the V2 sound by offering a 270° crank, Like KTM does with 890 Duke R Or RE650s.

Vstrom has been built from ground up for adventure touring Others are sports bikes Simple

Visor adjustment on the Suzuki is just a minor inconvenience.

You should have talked about reliability and aftersales for suzuki

Not possible. That differs from city to city

WTH is that cage on the side of the Kawi?

That's a saree guard to protect the cloth from entering rear wheels. It's a mandatory for companies to add this.

I feel versys is the worst looker. Kawasaki sports bike look better than tourers but then again looks are subjective :/

[@das400s]

Should you pay less and get ripped in service or pay more and have peace of mind.

[@chainsprocket]

plz do the comparison for Africa twin, Triumph 1200 , BMW GSA and Ducati Multistrada V4S

[@Renaissance861]

In India what we need are all these bikes in the 300-350cc bracket

[@DAY-ht4go]

Please compare 400cc motorcycles
