I must confess to being a bit of a polisher,after my recent tour up Scotland the bike was absolutely manky :angry: I had not long finished giving it its 3rd wash when id taken this pic.

As you know I was at the Boil, did the ABR Norfork rally. Had a week in North Yorkshire. Had the stand in for the cancelled Simmer rally which was just down the road from me at Ivinghoe. Whent to Sammy Millers saturday for the AB ride in. Off to Cadwell for BSB end of the month. Sept of to Norfolk for the XRV rally. October of to France for the last round of WSB. So the old girls got some miles on the clock this year. Plus all my day trips.

Hello Bull,its a 650 parallel twin,its the same engine that's in the er6f & the er6n.Unlike those bikes though the Versys is tuned for more low to mid range power,once you hit 4500/5000rpm the thing really flies!.
Its got a short wheelbase and 17" rims so it handles the twisty stuff superbly & turns in really quickly.
19ltr tank returns 220 miles between fill ups,cheap insurance,easy to work on,comfortable to ride its a great bike and does a bit of everything,look up some reviews,lots of positive write ups :-D

ha ha :laugh: just read that back,you'd think i worked for Kawasaki..... :woohoo:
