BIKE OF MANY TALENTS


The Versys refuses to be restricted to any one classification. Why? … Because it’s great at so many things! Long travel suspension for outstanding around-town manoeuvrability, highly comfortable riding position for long-distance comfort, sharp handling with excellent road holding, smooth power delivery with high levels of usability – the Versys really delivers on so many levels.

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.
