But Ian is it not only better, but as fast than the above mentioned on a b road? the MT01 and perhaps the z750

I've not ridden either, so couldn't possibly say...
The rider is usually what decides how fast/slow/rideable a bike is imo |

On a pure power basis, they're obviously going to be faster generally, potentially on twisties not very much faster though |

The other thing to point out is, most Versys are sold to quite tall people - the type of people who'd be crippled on a sports bike of the same capacity Ok it's ugly, but how you can ever call anything ugly when your own bike has been intimate with more hedges and ditches than buckets of water is beyond me ![]() |
