Relaxed touring with plenty of comfort and enough potential for cornering fun - the Versys 650 is and remains a good choice among mid-range sport tourers. Although you will reach the top of the pass faster on the competition, you will enjoy getting back on the Kawa every time, which welcomes the rider with a high level of comfort and extensive equipment.
