Versys for sale - much modified

[Hog Head]

2011 Kawi 650 Versys
Original Engineer enthusiast Owner with too many bikes
The Versys shortfalls of bad brakes and cheap suspension have been addressed, along with a host of little mods to result in a much better bike set up for sport touring. Nothing left to do but ride it

 

Showa BPSF fork from a 2014 Kawi ZX6R.  This is the hot set up for ER6 racers and gives one the advantage of a much better fully adjustable fork and larger radial brakes.  New seals and serviced 100 km ago
This was not a cheap mod and I question whether there is another Versys in the country like this

This fork is 50mm shorter than a standard Versys and the proper way to lower the bike. The local practice, and one used by Motorwerk, moves the fork legs up on the yoke, thereby changing trail. As you might expect, changing the steering geometry is not the preferred lowering method

 

Rear shock is a Showa from a Yamaha R1 fitted with a custom spring.  
Mounted on a genuine Motowerk lowering block and not a cheap Thai copy of unknown alloy.  In combination with the front the bike now sits 50mm lower 

 

Larger 310mm radial front brakes
These are proper radial mount callipers,  not a radial calliper on a cheesy radial to axial mount adapter. Paired with the latest Brembo RCS19 adjustable ratio radial master cylinder this bike brakes like a sport bike, and how a Versys should brake had Kawi not fitted cheap brakes. Stock ABS is retained
Rear brake is stock 
EBC-HH pads both ends

ZX1 front mudguard

New Metzler tires
Engine guards
LED driving lights
Stiebel Natalus 105 db horn that gets attention
Hand guards on custom brackets and not the flimsy version supplied
Givi windscreen
Hard mounted panniers.  Positioned forward for better weight balance and narrower than the bars.  A fat ass bike is not helpful when trying to navigate clogged traffic. 
H&K Pelican style rear box on a custom powdercoated mount  that I only mount for long trips
Custom Side fairings to take away the stock anteater look 
Powder coated rear sub frame 
Acropovic muffler
Power Commander V and tuned with Power Commander autotune
Throttle body sub plates removed
Pollution control removed
Throttle bodys are paired
K&N air filter and air box opened up
Tank grip pads
Custom seat cover
Supersprox front and rear sprockets, with the strongest X-ring chain RK offers.  Rear is 2 teeth smaller for a more suitable road use ratio
Paddock stands
Radiator cover
Headlight modulator that constantly flashes the low beam during the day - this really gets you noticed by inattentive car drivers
80/100 W headlight

 

59,000 KM  on Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil and synthetic filter since new

Have all the stock parts, with both a workshop and parts manual

 

150,000 B and no time wasters please.  

If it does not sell at this price I will strip the goodies and sell the bike equipped like all the other Versys out there
