If you can’t have fun on this bike, it’s time you stopped riding.
It’s clear enough looking at the Versys 650L that Kawasaki intends the bike to spend most of its time on the road. A 17-inch front wheel, a whopping great Tokico twin-front-disc set-up, ABS that can’t be turned off and those Dunlop Sportmaxes are all good gear for bitumen burners. Kawasaki even lists the bike under ‘Sport’ on its website, and our test bike was the LAMS-approved model.
