Kawasaki Versys 650 [2020-2021] Summary

The Kawasaki Versys 650 is the middleweight sports adventure tourer from the Japanese brand. The company has updated the model to comply with the BS6 emission norms, and the motorcycle now retails at Rs 6,79,000, which is Rs 10,000 more expensive than the BS4 model.

Styling upgrades during the BS6 transition are limited to revision of the paint theme. Everything else remains similar to the BS4 model. Thus, the latest iteration of the motorcycle continues to feature a twin-pod headlight, adjustable windscreen, semi-digital instrument cluster, wide handlebar, 21-litre fuel tank, step-up seat and an underbelly exhaust. The Versys 650 BS6 is currently listed in a single colour option – Candy Lime Green.

The motorcycle retains the displacement of 649cc and the parallel twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine now produces 65.7bhp of power at 8,500rpm and 61Nm of peak torque at 7,000rpm. In comparison, the BS4 model produced 67.4bhp of power and 64Nm of torque. The motor is linked to a six-speed gearbox.

It also retains the adjustable suspension, with the preload and rebound-adjustable front and preload-adjustable rear. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with road-biased tyres. Anchoring power comes from twin, petal-type discs at the front and a single rotor at the back while the safety net includes ABS.

BikeWale's Take

The Kawasaki Versys 650 is comfortable, is good at touring and is fun around corners. It is also easy to ride in the city. Furthermore, the bike's 649cc, parallel-twin engine is smooth and refined. However, it could do better electronic aids and more features.

      Best road tourer

      3 years ago


      Veeraraghavan N

      Its a very good touring machine mostly tarmac friendly. The stock tyres are useless so as the stock headlight. After riding more than 800 kms in a day, the seat height is the biggest concern for anyone under 5.10 since the bike is top heavy. The bs6 engine looses around 3 bhp and get no major update when compared with ninja 650 or z650. I can tell you that versys is one of the best touring bike currently available in market at this price band. If someone is looking for a good tourer for road use then versys is the best bet and if you are looking for bit of off-road then v-storm 650 to be chosen.
