Popular Post ll2 Posted September 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) finally kawa updated the versys for 2015. looks much more better actually cool closer to multistrada side and departing away more from adv and engine is overhauled for more power closer to 70 hp and more high rpm power. also adjustable front suspensions, better brakes, comfort and more improvement. a good bike just gets better. proud versys lovers sure will be happy. and, it does not look like a xerox machine cum motorcycle anymore we will most peobably see it on sale next year in Thailand and kawa might show it end of November at Impact Arena motoexpo.

daveAustin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Front end's a fair bit different and those extra horses would make a difference. Fine bit of kit. Would only use the screen for a tour, but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phra Ek Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Big improvement with the looks of the lights! Nice looking luggage. Still can't take a center stand which is a problem for long distance touring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Looks much better from the front, but I thought it had about 70 hp before? I thought the front suspension was adjustable before as well, but could be wrong on that. Good touring bikes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gweiloman Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 i must need glass's cos it looks just like the "old" one. Look again brio. Front end's changed.

ttakata Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not that it matters, but I like the looks of the older ones more. The seat and gastank/airbox are very organic and smooth but everything else is very sharp and angular. It is a clash of styling themes. Trying to make an adventure bike look like a Ninja sport bike defeats the concept to me. I've grown to expect adventure bikes to look ugly and rugged. Oh well, at least they are supposed to ride very well and have a great reputation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seat cover is very comfortable and airy softes the ride and keeps my butt cool. You can search facebook for "Motorcycle Seat Cover" (Hai Yent) best 690 Baht I've spent. I also have one on my PCX.

I like the Kawa green color best on a Kawa. This must be the best bang for your buck touring bike in Thailand and this bike is just so perfect for Thailand too.

A1Str8 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That's a nice bike but what's up with the turn signals? Is it so long so that i can hang my clothes on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That's a nice bike but what's up with the turn signals? Is it so long so that i can hang my clothes on it? My guess - product liability. Need to be visible from x degrees angle from straight ahead and x distance from the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Bit of a missed opportunity - the Versys front was never really pretty but this is not an improvement; looks like they just stuck the Ninja 650 front on the bike?! More HP should make a big difference though - the Versys to me just needed a tiny bit more power, and this might just be that tiny additional bit. Still a great bike of course.

guzzi850m2 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 First test ride below, 4-5 hp up from MK2 and a bit more touque as well. Looks like a very good upgrade from older MK1's & MK2's. http://www.morebikes.co.uk/2015-kawasaki-versys-650-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Looks like jacked up Ninja, I kind of like it. Definitely better the previous gen design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
