Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Versys 650 2013

Kawasaki Versys 650 2013

With a full tank of only 211 kg, it is particularly easy to handle in the mountains. All in all, it is at home almost anywhere, an everyday bike with that certain kick. With a new headlight and modernised design, the Versys is back on the attack.

Absolutely suitable for everyday use

interesting concept

very low consumption.

Performance not too high.

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2013

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2013

Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.

Full torque

good sound

large tank

relaxed seating position

somewhat old-fashioned look

narrow handlebars

sluggish in bends
