New Kawasaki Versys 650
Metallic Moondust Grey / Metallic Flat Spark Black RRP: £7499
Difficult to explain and impossible to categorise, the Versys simply exceeds the sum of its parts. With long-travel suspension & sporty 17” wheels, plus a slim, upright riding position and its low to mid-range focused Parallel-Twin engine, the restyled Versys 650 is a sports partner, city friend and mountain road conqueror all in one.

A chunky hunk of Kawasaki. We love the style and it rides well. Our latest test ride around Ipswich and out into the country was a pleasure. If you're looking for a bit more long-disance oomph, the Versys 1000 might be the one for you, but there's more than enough here for most people. Our favorite colour? Moondust grey- it looks ace! Drop us a linel if you need any more information or want to talk about a test drive.
Rich says: "This is an absolute bargain. Love the 650 variant, price is right and although I prefer a more sporty ride, I would definitely consider this for a weekend tour.
