KAWASAKI Versys Tourer (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki Versys 650 was a middleweight motorcycle that debuted in 2007 as a replacement for the Kawasaki KLE500 and continued production until the present (2023). The bike borrowed design elements from standard, dual-sport, adventure tourers, and sports bikes.

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Versys Tourer, a middleweight motorcycle that could handle both city streets and rougher roads, boasting features that make the ride both safe and fun.

It features a new bodywork and a dual-lamp headlight, a three-way adjustable windscreen for better protection at any speed, resin gel protectors on the fuel tank, keeping it scratch-free, and aluminum-reinforced hand guards.

In the visual department, the Tourer was fitted with standard features, such as a tall windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, side-mounted hard panniers, an under-belly exhaust system, and six-spoke lightweight wheels.

The motorcycle was built on a diamond high tensile steel frame with a 41 mm adjustable inverted telescopic fork on the front and an offset lay-down adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent handling.

The braking power was achieved by two semi-floating 300 mm petal discs coupled to dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm petal disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

At its core, the 2010 Kawasaki Versys Tourer had installed a 649cc four-stroke parallel-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 64 hp at 8,000 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) torque at 6,800 rpm.
