Kawasaki Versys?
i just happened to be near a local Kawasaki dealership today, so I dropped in and had a look at the bikes they had. I really liked the Versys. It seems to be a cross-over between a roadbike (17" rims, street tyres) and a bigger dirtbike. For some reason I can't find it on kawasaki.com, so maybe it's only sold in Europe.
The German page about it can be found here: http://www.kawasaki.de/versys/
This concept really makes sense to me for travelling. You have enough reserves for even bad roads, and it's probably better on the highway than the real dirtbikes (like a XT). Of course it probably won't help you with crossing the sahara but I guess you'll have more fun taking the long way round.
Anyways, I'm thinking about buying one, so I'm curious if anybody has some first hand experience with the Versys.
Cheers
