    The Versys is a cracking bike. If you want a really smooth, comfortable bike, you cannot go wrong with this bike.

    Great video and absolutely agree in the main with your comments here regarding these bikes: also some feedback you mentioned that you&apos;d received prior to you making this video via comments from others, in that the Versys is the winner for two up and long distance touring than the Ninja. &nbsp;<br>I&apos;m very fortunate in that I own both these bikes, using the Ninja for my solo rides (long or short distances, as it has panniers) &nbsp;and the Versys when I&apos;m two up touring. Both magnificent bikes in my opinion.

    I have the Versys 1100 &amp; really like it. The increased stroke is a big improvement especially when riding 2up. The quick shifter is pretty smooth &amp; the ergos are spot on. Nice job KAW!

    Opted for the Versys 1000 as I prefer the extra legroom for longer trips. &nbsp;Handling is awesome at both slow speeds and highway speeds. &nbsp;Such a great bike! &nbsp;Previous bikes include &apos;21 Africa Twin Adventure Sports, 2020 Tracer 900GT, 2018 R1200GS Rallye. &nbsp;They are all unique, including the Versys, but I do prefer the Versys for higher speed riding (highway, freeway) and it does well on twisty roads too.

    IT IS INCREDIBLE how this engine responds to a full exhaust and tuning. The top tuners are getting 140 hp at the rear wheel with just a full exhaust and ECU reflash. That’s insanity! That’s like 160 HP at the crank, with massive torque. I am looking forward to buying the ninja SE and doing this. Will be selling my Tuono V4, a great bike, but just not very comfortable.

    I have a 2025 ninja 650. I had to ride friends Harley soft tail for him today to transport it across town. He had an injury. I hated it! Way too heavy.

    I love my Ninja 400. I wish Kawsaki made a Ninja 650SX because I need those hard panniers for daily duties (I have saddlebags on my 400). Either way Im going to get a 1100sx in a few years!

    Very good, in depth review. Always enjoy listening about touring/sports touring bikes. <br>I Wish kawasaki would update the 1400cc ZZR with more modern tech, but i guess that would canibalize sales from the H2SX.<br><br>Gonna have to go for the Hayabusa :D
