TG MotoRider 2024 Kawasaki VERSYS 650 Sport Tourer, Test Ride Review, Highway and Gravel

Hwy 370 and Harry S. Truman Blvd. know that area well! Purchased a 1st gen 2009 Versys love it! St Charles Motorsports just listed these 2023 Versys for $5999.00 before fees. Tempting. Nice reivew!

Hey mate, thanks for the review. I am picking up my 2023 650 gt in a few days (uk based) and like a previous poster had thought I had seen all the English language reviews. Your video is great!

The gt comes with top box, panniers, fog lights, heated grips, usb connector and a few other bits and pieces.

I appreciated your explanation of the traction control.

That one looks just like the new 2023 Versys 650 LT I bought a couple months ago. I thought I had seen all the english language reviews on YouTube while researching the bike, but this one popped up today. I had a few Kawasaki options added, like the heated grips, and they sure come in handy for early spring riding in Newfoundland. Cruise control would be nice. Just completed the initial 1000km break in, and looking forward to putting many more on this fantastic motorcycle.

Well I found the bike to get the summer. After watching what others on YouTube. An I'm under 200lbs and 1100 Kawasaki was a little more heavy when I dropped it after going through a puddle of water. Lucky I knew what to do and I did a 360 degree turn and let go on the throttle and the clutch. Picking up someone helped me get it back up right.

Great review helped me select this as my bike

Nice review! But the check engine light is blinking the entire time?

[larsthorwald]

I think there's a factory option for heated grips. Cruise control? I've had it on three of my fourteen bikes and almost never used it. I'm not even sure it's a good idea on a motorcycle, but that's just me.

I test rode one recently and i had exactly the same impressions as you however i felt that the gear shifter lever was quite hard to press. Like it was stiff or something. I don't know if it is normal for Kawasaki and it needs some break in time or it was that particular test bike which was also brand new. It is not really a problem but fist bike i ride with such shifter. Did you notice something similar?

why is the check engine light flashing?
