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'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. <br>I'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) and the Versys when I'm two up touring. Both magnificent bikes in my opinion.

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

Opted for the Versys 1000 as I prefer the extra legroom for longer trips. Handling is awesome at both slow speeds and highway speeds. Such a great bike! Previous bikes include '21 Africa Twin Adventure Sports, 2020 Tracer 900GT, 2018 R1200GS Rallye. 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
