So big deal that Kawasaki waited a few years before bringing the Versys 1000 to the colonies. It’s been worth the wait for this more capable, much more handsome version. Is the Versys as dynamically adept as a BMW GS? No, not quite. Is it as ferociously powerful as the KTM 1190 or Ducati Multistrada ? No way. But it is thousands cheaper, and even manages to undercut the comparatively tame Suzuki V-Strom 1000. Watch the video and then click the link below for the full review with pricing and specs.
