presentation of the VERSYS 650 2010

the Versys is one of the most atypical machines around, as difficult to categorize as the TDM. A mix of roadster and trail bike, disconcerting at first glance, then incredibly effective. Underneath this strange exterior lies a great deal of versatility. There was no need to touch it up. And yet...

for 2010, the Versys has been given a makeover. It got a new headlight support, a more angular fork head with special cheeks, larger radiator scoops, a different exhaust tip and a modified rear shell. The rear-view mirrors have been improved to give better rear-view vision, and Kawa has thought about improving comfort when riding a duo. New accessories are also planned. And finally, this little facelift won't go amiss, as the new Ducati 796 Hypermotard could put a spanner in the works, even though it's aimed at a sportier clientele.

and I'm amazed at how easy it is to ride.
on twisty roads it's a queen.
i find the gearbox a little hard and the sixth a little short.
a great bike

Bonne à tout faire
French Nico Model 2011
2 years and 15000 km with a 2011 model without ABS. One of the best bikes I've ever owned. On the plus side: it's an everyday utility bike with very decent protection, a traveler in summer with weapons and luggage, a sports bike at weekends (fearsome on twisty roads, even more so if the road deteriorates!), and it doesn't cost a thing to buy used, in fuel or maintenance.
On the negative side: it's a bit sluggish (a more overdrive-like 6th would have been welcome), it's very sensitive to suspension settings, and unanimously among my friends and especially friendsEs... it's ugly! I ended up selling it for a bike with more "value"... but what a kick it was to ride it in the Vosges! I highly recommend it, give it a try.

70 000 km en versys
I bought the first model in 2007
I've now reached 70,000 km, and the only repairs I've made are the fork seal, the brake disc and 3 chain kits.
The bike is easy and pleasant to ride except as a duo, and the shock absorber is difficult to adjust
I'm going to try the tracer but I'll probably go back to a Versys 650 or 1000.

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know and could inform me on what would cost me to make brider a versys model 2010?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

French SysD Model 2014
Good all-rounder, pleasant and comfortable. It's not a monster of power, but the horses are there when you need them, without having to go looking for them at 10,000 rpm.
On mountain roads, it's very comfortable and quick thanks to its torque.
It tends to bend quite easily if you rush it.
I'm very happy with it.

Super moto ....
French ricardo777 Model 2013
I've just parted with my er6 for a 2011 Versys: what a joy! The bike is more comfortable, the riding position more agreeable, the protection more effective. It's also more torquey. The drop in power is noticeable, but there's more than enough for a trail bike. Rating : 4/5

on the 2015 model,they talk about 3 height positions 79/84/87.i've just read in the comments above that apparently this doesn't change anything.i'll need confirmation as i'm 1.67m tall and this bike really ticks me off
thank you

French benito Model 2011
i own a 2011 Versys abs.
It's my second bike...personally I find it really versatile. Easy to handle in town, enough watts to have fun (maybe not enough in the mountains as a duo).
I rode Corsica as a duo and loaded up...it was perfect.

In short, I don't regret my choice ;)

Hello,

In reply to rene. I've had an A2 licence for 1 and a half years. I have a Versys 650, year 2009, clamped in 34hp (now unclamped). No insurance problem for this clamp! Other than that, Versys is a really torquey bike at low revs, even at 34hp, compared with the er6 and xj6. Otherwise, it's a really great bike for all types of use. I've already clocked up 10,000 kms in 11 months. Really maneuverable bike, even in traffic (well, I've had bikes since I'm used to them). Otherwise, I don't have any of the "vibrations" that mike and others have, even at 185 kph. I have no problem sticking the Z750 or gsr 750 in acceleration. The only drawback for me is fuel consumption: I'm the only one not to exceed 200-220kms on a full tank. Otherwise, braking needs to be a little harder (I don't mind, as I started out on a gpz 500, which braked very badly). It's a bike I'm sure I'll keep for a long time. Inexpensive insurance, 40 euros at macif for a young rider with 1 year's experience.
Rating : 5/5
I've owned a Versys model 2009 for 5 years. A few modifications were made from the outset to reduce vibration at the speedo and to raise the bubble to reduce turbulence at helmet level.
This bike is simply amazing in terms of handling, engine liveliness and seat comfort. A 37-liter top case is more than enough for me, and the absence of a center stand is well compensated for by the original central exhaust.
Negatives (and there are some): no temperature or gear indicator, and no 12-volt socket. Too bad

French banshee Model 2013
i just got out of a 1400 GTR 2010 , too heavy for the mountain roads I used to ride and this verys 650 2013 is a formidable weapon on small roads , fuel consumption when pulling about 4.2 , record when riding cool 3.6 , maintenance , simple , well the best , try it and you will see , personally I would never have thought of going from a 1400 to a 650 as a beginner .

moto légère, agile et péchue!
French Titib Model 2014
It's a light, easy-to-handle bike. the engine is really great above 5,000 rpm but a bit rough below 3,000. the tourer kit is great!
the seat is a little high for 1m 73, even with the low seat option (no difference).
the rear tire is slipping a bit and I'm going to change it

if I understood you correctly, you seem to be saying that the change in height does nothing... This is worrying for me, as I am not tall Rating : 4/5
French Surlan Gle Model 2014
Very good bike, pushes its 62hp well, holds the pavement well, easy to handle, brakes well, lights well, doesn't heat up in summer, comfortable with adaptable bubble.
Negative: vibrates a little on the first version.

Bonne moto sympa et polyvalente
French rene Model 2014
Comfortable and sufficiently light for the category, with an efficient engine offering thrills and pleasure, and a gearbox that's a little hard at times. A very good result, but the optional suitcase kit would benefit from being much smaller or better integrated. A slightly different but credible alternative to the Vstrom650 and other much more expensive but larger-displacement models. You don't particularly feel a lack of hp on the Kawasaki. A must-try.

excellent bike the versys lacks a bit of bite under braking and some vibration apart from that the engine top for a 650 very good protection with the high bubble magnable in town road handling more than corect comfort on long trip
very low maintenance budget arssouille rating great to try!

French rorom82 Model 2012
Completely agree with you 2, I've had the opportunity to drive one, the only fault I can find is the braking, but still... Otherwise, it's a very versatile bike and very pleasant to ride. Rating : 5/5
French Chatnoir09 Model 2012
The VERSYS is the bike you ride past ten times and say "bof", and on the eleventh time, you think "yeah, there's actually something, a je ne sais quoi", and the more you see it, the more beautiful it becomes. Now I really love it!
The engine is full-bodied and power is really available throughout the 3,000 to 9,000rpm range, but there's no need to go over 7,000rpm as the power is still there. Comfort is really good (even in a duo) and the body is slim yet reassuringly robust.It's easy to handle, and even if the twin-cylinder remains a little rough, it's very accessible to ride; even a little too much so, so beware for novices, it seems easy, but still sends out a lot of power.Between 80 and 130km/h, it can hold its own against 20hp bikes with no trouble at all. The price of a new bike is admittedly exaggerated, but second-hand bikes can really be had for unbeatable prices. In my opinion, this is the best of the MIDsize trail range! I got mine for 3500â'¬ for 14500km (with ABS).
The only real fault would be the brakes, which lack attack, spoiling the feel a little, but nothing serious. I'm going to keep mine a little longer :-)

French rene Model 2012
An excellent machine, a real everyday tool, whether in town or on the road, whatever the condition, or for going far and wide if you feel like it. The engine is well worth the detour. It's got a playful character and flawless reliability. All of this in a comfortable, easy-to-use chassis. Only the hard-to-forget plas "toc" might put some off. Still, the latest version is more attractive than the old one, with the same recognizable, high-quality swingarm, but a more modern pot and fork head. It's a well-born machine that you absolutely must try out before judging too hastily. Rating : 5/5

i've had a Versys since September 2009, and I'm quite happy with it.the downside is the supposedly very comfortable saddle, which hurts my ankle after a certain number of km.the pot exit, which heats up my ankle when I stop at a red light, especially at the moment with the hot weather.good handling, good pick-up and good acceleration.my score is 8/10 Rating : 5/5
