Versys buying advice?
Going to look at an 07 Versys tomorrow, anyone had any experience with these machines?

Re: Versys Advice
Might be better off looking at http://www.versys.co.uk/
The older ones suffer from the fairing buzzing at speed. Decent little bikes.

Re: Versys buying advice?
Yeah, fairing buzz is irritating but something that can be solved with some fine tuning.
You'd be wanting to check the condition of the exhaust downpipes/collector for rotting, both the ER6 and Versys suffered pretty badly from corrosion and getting them replaced under warranty. Apart from that, I don't recall having any issues in the 6000 miles that I owned a Versys for. Really regret selling it actually. Really, really regret it. |

I have the red Versys Tourer and apart from it eating its own chain in 6500 miles (still on OE tyres so not thrashing it) its been great.

Cheers, will have a good poke around the pipes.
I've heard about the fairing buzz but that should be easy enough sorted with enough fettling. |
