BIKE OF MANY TALENTS
The Versys refuses to be restricted to any one classification. Why? … Because it’s great at so many things!

The ideal motorcycle for commuting around town through the week and covering large distances on the weekend, the Versys is a highly talented performer indeed.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
 |
Compact Parallel Twin
The highly compact parallel twin produces a very linear power delivery and has been tuned for optimum performance at everyday riding speeds. The 180 degree crankshaft with balancer ensures vibration levels are kept to a minimum.
| |
 |
Electronic Fuel Injection
Electronic Fuel Injection feeds the engine precisely the right amount of fuel to provide excellent power delivery and response, plus improved fuel economy, usability and starting. | |
 |
Under Engine Muffler
The stylish under engine muffler keeps mass centralised and provides a slim, natural pillion seating position. Its placement also keeps heat away from both rider and passenger.
| |
 |
Natural Riding Position
The Versys’ upright seating position provides high levels of rider comfort combined with superb control over the motorcycle for around-town handling and manoeuvring. | |
 |
Adjustable Windshield
Catering to varying weather conditions and rider heights is a 3-way adjustable windshield designed to deflect the wind and elements while creating minimum turbulence.
| |
 |
Long Travel Suspension
Borrowing from its offroad brethren, the Versys sports long travel suspension at both ends to deliver a comfortable ride combined with extreme around-town versatility. | |
 |
Sports-like Handling
Thanks to 17inch sports bike inspired wheels and rubber, the Versys delivers highly responsive handling with outstanding road holding and stability. | |
 |
Touring Potential
The reinforced sub-frame and optional panniers and top box, combined with the super-comfortable seating position, provide huge potential for covering large distances. | |
