Kawasaki has launched the affordable sports adventure touring machine- Versys 650. The bike is based on the bigger Versys 1000 which Kawasaki had launched earlier this year in India. Kawasaki is one of the limited automobile companies having broad spectrum of motorcycles to offer in our country. There has been regular launch of various models seen from the Japanese giant, including twin cylinder 250cc Ninja Z250 to the ferocious Ninja H2. The new Versys 650 is equipped with same 650cc twin cylinder engine which is already doing duty on the Ninja 650 and the ER-6n. The Versys 650 would be the most affordable adventure motorcycle from the house of Kawasaki, featured with adjustable handle bar, adjustable front and rear suspension and twin disk brakes upfront and single disc brake at rear. The new Kawasaki Versys 650 also comes with optional ABS.
Kawasaki is going to sell the new Versys 650 from their exclusive showrooms across the country alongside the Ninja 650 and ER-6n. In a most competitive automobile market the market for the adventure tourers is still at its nascent stage and there is plenty of scope for every manufacture striving to get their share of pie.
The Kawasaki Versys 650 will directly lock horns with the Benelli TNT 600 GT and despite of its twin cylinder setup the Versys 650 would be an interesting option in its category with class leading features, loads of electronic and the brand value of Kawasaki. The new Kawasaki Versys 650 is launched at a price tag of Rs 6.6 lacs (Ex-Showroom, Delhi).
