Kawasaki Versys-X 300 Adventure
The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 has the same 300cc motor as the Ninja 300, but with a new chassis to suit it's mission.
A slipper clutch, ABS, mini-fairing, spoke wheels and long travel suspension are standard, with a weight around 170kg, and seat height of around 80cm.
In addition to the standard model, there are two more:
The "Urban" gets hand guards, tank pad, centrestand and 30 litre topbox. The "Adventure" gets crash bars, centrestand, tank pad and 17 litre panniers.
Kawasaki claim that in eco mode, the bike will have a range of over 380km on a full tank.
Looks very interesting to me, and could suit a lot of people. The price should be very good, and get a lot more people going on low-cost adventures on a new modern bike. Along with the new BMW 300 AND the new Honda CRF250 Rally, it's getting interesting in the small bike world!
