Its got the same motor as the ER6 which has had rave reviews over here for its ridability, most testers have commented on the engine saying how user freindly it is with lots of useful power where you need it.
I found the versys very comfortable to sit on (i'm 6"1'), theres a nice drop from the seat to the footrests so your not all squashed up when riding. The reach to the bars was good and didnt feel like there was any real weight on my wrists.
All in all i was very impressed, I prefered it to the new truimph tiger which is a similar style but wasnt, for me, quite as comfortable.
The problem is kawasaki are now selling of the old KLE500's here in the uk for around £3000. Thats 3 grand for a brand new bike with proven reliablity and full 3 year warranty which has got to be worth a look.
