It just might be a joyous year for those who like to visit the land far far away whilst enjoying the trip being close to their two wheeled machine. The Sports Tourer ofcourse.
Currently in India , for the likes of above, a great option is the Ninja 650r and of course the Benelli TNT 600GT. Some also might state the Honda 650F in the category but in My honest opinion the three stated above are great highway mile munchers. Nothing really that satisfies the hunger to go on those skimpy roads with a thin layer of 'dark matter'. Not necessarily off road but a bit more versatility, a bit more comfort, and a bit more capability to carry some serious luggage. This is where the next big thing comes in. the Versys 650.
In the US, It carries the same Engine as the sisters ER6N and Ninja 650R. yet holds a boisterous rider position, larger fuel tank and adjustable forks with diamond tube frame and an option to add saddle bags [ Versys 650 LT ].
US SPEC COMPARO : VERSYS 650 vs NINJA 650R
With high hope, I expect this launch to be soon. A torquy , mile munching, pot hole soaking versatile machine such as the Versys 650 will be a strong contender. While the Indian varient is yet to be finalized I think this already sits well in our market.
Ride safe guys.

UPDATE:
Christmas just became even more merry as Kawasaki has officially played another strong card out of it deck.
With the success they have had with Ninja 650r, they have now officially added the Versys 650 to their stable to keep the roll going. And for not so measly but rather aggressive pricing of 6.6 lacs , you can bring her home to your's.
As of now, she comes clothed in all black but maybe we hear of new colors being introduced soon? I sure do hope so!
So, for all those who decide to have the companionship of the versys650. Please do share your ownership review!
Cheers, Ride Safe! Ride Hard!
