Kawasaki Versys 1000 vs Kawasaki Ninja 650 Comparison

With no cosmetic changes, the 2022 Kawasaki Versys 1000 continues to sport the same dual-LED headlamps, tall visor, massive fairing and long split seats to maximise comfort. Power comes from the same BS6 compliant 1043 cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops 118 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets an assist and slipper clutch. It is a decent sport touring road-oriented motorcycles.

The Ninja 650 may be a middleweight, but it feels like a small bike, and it doesn't have the intake roar or exhaust note associated with a high-performance motorcycle. It feels at ease handling traffic, and is equally comfortable on the highway, if you're in the mood for occasional long-distance touring. If you're looking to upgrade from a smaller bike, or you're new to motorcycling, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 could well be all the bike you need.
