KAWASAKIVersys 2012 - 2013

　　In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Kawasaki Versys, a comfortable machine with a serious sporty attitude and aggressive styling that complemented its dynamic flexibility and strength.

　　The key to Versys’s success was the carefully designed cockpit that offered a natural, upright seating position with a two-piece seat that provided optimum comfort for the rider and passenger, a three-way adjustable windscreen, and an easy-to-read instrument cluster.

　　The bike featured a 649cc parallel-twin engine that was perfect for the nimble machine, powerful enough for the advanced riders and predictable enough for the inexperienced ones, with power delivery in the low-mid rpm range.

　　In the power department, the 2013 Kawasaki Versys had at its core a 649cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 64 hp with a peak at 8,000 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,800 rpm.

　　Mounted onto the small, light, and narrow trellis frame, the suspension offered a plush ride thanks to its 41 mm long-travel inverted fork on the front that provided excellent performance in various riding conditions and a single-shock absorber on the rear that featured preload and rebound adjustability.

　　As for the braking performance, the 2013 Kawasaki Versys packed two 300 mm petal discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
