You're the only onboard footage rider that pushes the bike and doesn't give me anxiety. Your riding feels safe but still exciting. Love every video!

[Geeksrik]

I listened to this multiple times, I went and bought the bike as well. And I can say I did not go wrong. What buttery smoothness and the sound is pure music to the ears. Now I cannot live without this bike! Thanks for making this video

Those 1000cc inline-4 engines sound so nice. Next year you'll have to ride the Tiger 660 and Honda NT1100 sport-tourers as well. Be safe!

As a Versys owner, I have to totally agree with you, it is heavy but surprisingly agile. The engine is smooth, power delivery is great, although it could use a little more top end power, it doesn't need it but it could be fun. I've had my bike for 2 years now, it's a 2015, so no electronic suspension or quick shifter. I've ridden lots of bikes and I have to say, there's something about the Versys that makes me love it. My brother has a multistrada 1200S GT and no problem keeping up with him, sure he will smoke me in a drag race but not by much. The riding position is comfortable, although the 2015's windscreen is crap, and the seat after some time riding can hurt your butt. Best of all is the Kawasaki reliability. Great video Schaaf, thanks for reviewing it. Greetings from Guatemala

One of the best sounds I've ever heard. Nice work.

[sapatomaluco]

This video made me buy the bike just for it's sound. Sound cannot be underestimated in a motorcycle.

[AshishKulkarni]

Few things in the world sound as sweet and refined as a Japanese inline 4 bike engine. Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, all a genuine pleasure to listen to.

2 tane Versys 650 kullandıktan sonra Versys 1000 boş modeline geçtim, mükemmel bir motor, çok konforlu, titreşimi yok. Virajda çok stabil ve kullanmak versys 650 yarısı kadar çaba istiyor😃👍✊

I’ve had this bike for a bit more than a year now, originally I wanted a multistrada but I felt like the inline 4 of the kawi was waaaay more usable at lower speeds, the lack of top end power is nothing a good remap can’t fix 😇 and frankly this big chonker will surprise a lot of sport / naked bike riders in the twisties ! Yes it lacks a bit of ground clearance, but the power is so linear and usable 😍
Thank you for this beautiful video Schaaf

[jonathanschmidt]

best vid of this bike i have seen, why don't others do it this way

[JKL]

Have had several upright bikes. When I tried this one I got it. The engine is so good and sounds great at any speed with stock pipe. The handling is fantastic. Best all-around road bike I’ve ever had. Doesn’t need more power because it gets a little squirrelly around 160kph (without luggage), especially if there’s any wind. That’s fine because I have no need to go that fast on public roads. It cruises steadily at 130kph just fine, which is all I need in the US.

Alter dein Konzept ist so geil, ich könnte deine Videos stundenlang gucken. Meine Frau schaut immer doof wenn ich dir beim Fahren zu gucke, aber sound...
Ich wünsche dir nur das dein Schutzengel immer hinterher kommt ;-)

[simonthomas]

Schaaf nails it once again!! How to make an everyday, relatively banal bike sing like a moto gp special edition!! 😎

[LucG]

I used to have the first gen Versys. Excellent all rounder. It lacked a bit of brakes and was clearly a very heavy bike. The comfort was awesome though. I should try the new SE someday to see how it compares to my 1290 GT. Great video as always !

[davidwilson]

This is one of the options for my new bike and just listening to the engine makes my heart race. Thanks for the video.

[Juan]

I think that it’snt necessary to push that hard in second gear to ride fast with that engine between corners. In third gear the motorbike has enough torque to maintain the speed. At the end near to rev limit the engine has a lack of power in terms of horsepower and torque. But is also true that this driving style improves the “show” and make the footage more “emotional”. Thanks for the video man!

[Muhammed-SADIK-DUMAN]

What a fanstastic drive. Moto control looks very smooth, and motocycle is amazing.

[Ruddi]

Kawasaki man they just get it right, easily one of the best

[motoabbas]

I own a versys 1000 and it has such a smooth engine and recently I a have put a full system akrapovic and it's sound brilliant

[jcb]

You have one of the coolest moto YouTube channels. I think I’ll end up watching all of your rides. Just great to get into the ride and hear the engine. 😎👍👏
