The “Versys" name is not something new in Kawasaki’s line-up. It was launched in 2007 when the Japanese company unveiled a middleweight adventure-sport motorcycle using ER6n’s 650 parallel-twin.

The 1000 cc model appeared in 2012, using the same design lines. Those Versys where some love it or hated bikes when it came to the look. While some people said that they had a different personality, other people considered them ugly.
