Looks 

Proper adv vibes are wrapping the bike nicely and these vibes are so strong that it envolve you in its amazing fearless attitude. 


Face 

High held face showing that the bike is full of self esteem that makes other lose their. Eyes of this bike is full of LED and the design is similar to other Kawasaki motorcycles. Sharp looking lights are adding an striking appeal to the bike. Blinkers are coming out from the side fairing, small manually adjustable visor is ready for wind blasts. The under of eye of this bike is very sharp as we have seen in some other Kawasakis like Ninja 650, ZX-10R and other. 120 section tyre is leading the adventurous journey of yours on this Versys. 


Side 

Massive body of Versys comes out amazingly from side angle. The big engine is perfectly fixed in the bike, engine is exposed and won't have that big fairing as well. Being a adventure two wheeler its seat height is higher than usual which is not for short riders (840mm) and the ground clearance is also allowing rider to take this anywhere (150mm). 

It get step up two piece seat which is looking very comfortable for both pillion and rider. Big fuel tank giving more aggressive look to the bike. The front side of the bike, headlight section which is looking very sharp and more attractive from side. 


Rear 

A chunky grab rail is attached to the tail of the bike with easy top box attachment, grab rail is more for fixing you side boxes and top box to carry your luggage. 

Tail light is also LED looking great accompanied by blinkers. 180 section tyre is looking amazing won't have any tyre hugger but gotta mud guard. 


Instrument cluster 

The cluster is similar to the system we have seen in H2 and H2R, big round analogue tachometer on the left side merged with small rectangular digital display where you can track bunch of things like speed, time, gear, odo, trip, range, fuel, and other important things. You can connect your phone as well which help you to track many thing about the bike in your phone. Alert lights are placed around the tachometer. 


The bike is wonderful in many aspects, the power, performance, features, safety and looks everything is amazing. However, the cluster is kinda old fashioned to me and even the new screen Kawasaki is giving in Ninja and Z series is not that great, although it have bunch of info but as we can see the rivals like BMW, Ducati and other are giving some cool clusters. 

This is Kawasaki Versys 1000......
