ONE MOTORCYCLE FOR ALL OCCASIONS: THE 2009 KAWASAKI VERSYS!
Seven-day versatility ready for commuting, casual treks or canyon running.
While the 2009 Kawasaki Versys may defy attempts to pigeon hole it into a preordained role, the truth is this is a machine that epitomizes versatility. The editors at Motorcyclist magazine may have described this jack-of-all-trades motorcycle best: The most impressive thing about the Versys is what it can do. That would be just about anything, and for a lot less money than anything else out there. Call it whatever you want. Were calling it Motorcycle of the Year.
