Kawasaki Versys 650
 
I just purchased MCN this morning and turning to page 2 my jaw nearly dropped: :notworthy:

Kawasaki Versys 650
It is a new trailie using the ER6 parallel twin engine (gentle riding will see 50mpg in town and 65mpg+ on the motorway I hear). It is expected at the end of the year for probably £5500. If the price is below that I think I will be keeping my eye on it as it seems to be perfect for my riding.

God thats pig ugly....I like it

I kinda like it too, in a uggo sort of way.

Its ugly in a super-cool way - I thought that only BMW could do that?!
Probably what Suzuki tried to do with the V-stroms but only ended up with ugly.

hmmmmm i'm 50-50 on this one. Some bits look great while others just dont do it for me.

maybe it'll be diffrent when seen in the flesh.

It's got a very Mille-esque swingarm.
I like it. I think if I were buying a new bike to do what that does, it would be a contender.

Interesting reaR swing arm and exhaust. Look very sporty.

The side view in the silver colour doesn't look that great I think. Mind you - a lot of ugly bikes turned out to be good looking in flesh.

Odd looking, but it's better looking than a Multistrudel!!!!!

For some reason it reminds me of a TDM - that kind of style I think... I dont mind it... :)
