KEY FEATURES

Low-mid range focused 649cc Parallel Twin

Low-mid range focused 649cc Parallel Twin

When tuning the 649 cm3 Parallel Twin engine, our engineers’ first priority was to find a throttle response that balanced a powerful feeling and a quick-revving character. To optimise performance for everyday riding, care was taken to maximise low-mid range torque. When opening the throttle, riders will notice that the engineers succeeded in creating an extremely smooth and powerful engine character that offers both a high level of control when making minute throttle adjustments and a gratifying rush of acceleration in the lower rpm ranges.

The stacked dual headlamp design gives the Versys a slimmer appearance and speaks to its nimble handling. Using a single position lamp further contributes to the slim appearance. Sculpted bodywork of the front cowling and side fairing adds to the Versys’ dynamic image. Like an athlete, the image is one of flexibility and strength.

17” wheels front and rear contribute to the bike’s quick steering. The 120 mm front tyre offers an excellent balance of quick steering and front wheel traction.

Long travel suspension

Long travel suspension

The combination of long-travel suspension with carefully considered spring settings is one of the keys to the active control offered by the Versys. In addition to being easily able to cope with a variety of road conditions and offering confidence-inspiring feedback to the rider, the Versys encourages riders to consciously control the bike’s forward-rear weight balance – adding a new dimension of controllability to explore.
