Kawasaki Versys 650 - Page 4 - SV650.org

Its more multistrada/TDM as said above than trail. Not that theres anything wrong with that. These style of bikes are great for UK and European roads as anyone whos seen Mark on the TDM will tell you.

They may bring out one to replace the KLR in full trailie style which would be interesting I guess.

V-strom fans/haters note that I rode trails with someone riding two up on a strom 650 and it was absolutely amazing. Ok a very good rider but other than lacking a little ground clearance it was a great tool for the job. They do work.

Wouldn't touch it with a stick. Prefer to be riding my 1,000 pound curvy rather then looking at this ugly mother every morning.

Probably cheap to insure, leave it where you like no one would steal it.

Looks-wise, it's wonderful — really nicely styled. But why do they always think that everyone wants to move on to a sportsbike after they've had an "entry level" bike for a couple of years, and not produce a truly grown-up version of this sort of machine with first clas brakes, suspension, and another 25-30 bhp? Because if they did, I for one would be queueing up for one. As it stands, sadly I think I'll leave it.

BMW has. It is their F800 range(F800S, F800ST, and yet to be released F800R and F800GS. They have 85bhp+ engines with 86NM torque but slightly pricey)

Yes the F800R, when it comes out, will certainly be worth looking at (the Christian Pfeiffer stunt bike is gorgeous), but it's simply a naked bike and not the same as the street/super-moto style that the Versys/MultiStrada/TDM offer.
