Is Versys 650 good for short riders?
Kawasaki Versys 650 Some have described the Versys as a poor man’s Ducati Multistrada. Riding on cast alloy wheels, short suspension travel (5.9 inch front/5.7 inch rear) and a 17 inch front wheel may limit its off-road capabilities. But the Versys can handle graded dirt roads with confidence.
What is the difference between the Versys 650 Lt and V-Strom?
The Versys 650 LT comes standard with color-matched hard luggage and black handguards. Tall and compact, it’s more street-oriented than the V-Strom, with 17-inch wheels and Dunlop Sportmax tires. While it feels physically smaller than the Strom, it’s actually about 30 pounds heavier.
Is the Versys 650 a good dirt bike?
Thanks to its “versatile” gearing, the 650 is an under-rated torque monster from idle to 3,000-4,000 RPM in the dirt and grunting up rocky climbs. The aftermarket ADV support for the Versys is far more limited than the Strom but it’s out there (and largely German or Italian).
How good is the Versys engine?
The Versys’ engine is identical to the Ninja 650’s which makes it a rev happy engine. That’s not to say that there’s no poke in the low and mid rpm range but this motor really comes alive after 7,000rpm. There’s this surge in power once you rev past that point and it gets addictive, to say the least.
Is the Suzuki V-Strom 650 good for off-road?
And that’s where the Suzuki V-Strom 650 edges ahead. Besides good on road dynamics and a relaxed cruising demeanour, the wire spoke wheels, with tubeless tyres lend the bike serious off-road/ bad road ability as well. And then there is the added safety net of traction control which is a big plus in my books, given the terrible state of our roads.
