  • likeable design

Kawasaki Versys 650

  • Kawasaki service and spare parts cost is high. The engine offers performance but isn’t thrilling or emotional.

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is best Benelli TRK 502 or Versys 650?
  • I think, there was a comparison video done by Overdrive.. Check in YouTube. Being a Versys 650 owner, I would not prefer TRK502 due to its weight, under power engine, reliability issues and past history of the brand Benelli in India. You must look between V-Strom 650 and Versys 650 if you are in market to buy one.
  • At present, it would not be possible to provide a fruitful comparison as the TRK 502 is yet to be launched. So we would suggest you to wait till the brand reveals the complete details of the TRK 502. Stay tuned.

    Stock tyres 

    Its a very good touring machine mostly tarmac friendly.The stock tyres are useless so as the stock headlight.The seat height is the biggest concern also the seat is wide which makes more comfort but flat footing both side impossible for anyone below 5.10.The ride quality and comfort is wonderful and i wish it had traction control which will make is a good allrounder.I can tell you that versys is one of the best touring bike currently available in market at this price band.If someone is looking for a good tourer for road use then versys is the best bet and if you are looking for bit of off-road then v-storm 650 looks better.

    Riding the Electric Wave with River Indie 

    Exploring the River Indie for the past six months has been mostly exhilarating. This electric scooter’s clean design and robust features instantly caught my attention. It is equipped with a 4 kWh battery that promises a range of up to 120 km, suitable for most of my local travels.The ride quality is smooth all thanks to its good suspension setup and ample seat space. However, at speeds over 70 km/h stability begins to falter, which can be nerve wracking on busy highways. Another minor yet noticeable aspect is the noise from the motor at higher speeds, it is not overly loud but unexpected for an EV.

    Lot of attention gain 

    The floorboard is the best in River Indie than any other scooter and the underseat storage is the largest. It is highly practical electric scooter and the design is highly amazing is gain lot of attention and gives good view of road but the handlbar is little small for me. It handles comfortably on the bad roads and doing a great job and is very easy to ride in the corners and the combined braking system is very well performer but the features are less than other in the segment.
