KAWASAKI Versys 649 (2011 - 2012) Description & History: With minor adjustments to this almost perfect middleweight naked street bike, the 2011 Kawasaki Versys carries on the heritage of the older KLE models: awesome maneuverability, a comfortable riding position, great commuting capabilities for daily rides and serious touring potential with optional accessories.
The slim and aggressive design of the modern-era Versys bikes offer plenty of nifty functional features, such as the compact and easy-to-read instrument cluster, redesigned rider and passenger seats, dual-lamp headlight, LED tail lights and blinkers. Optionally, the Versys can receive ABS for better, safer braking on difficult surfaces.
Still, the 2011 Versys can offer plenty of fun on unpaved roads;while definitely a street bike, it retains enough of the robust character of older KLEs to make for a nice mild forest adventure.
