Verdict
The Kawasaki Versys 650 is a great bike to ride around the city - riding in traffic isn't much of a wrestle, considering the bike looks quite tall and imposing. The Versys 650 could very well be all the bike you need - for your daily commute, for the weekend ride, and even for the long haul with your significant other as pillion with luggage. At ₹ 7.3 lakh (on-road Delhi), you can look at the Benelli 600 GT and even the Honda CBR 650F as options.

The BMW R 1250 GS is one of the highest-selling full sized adventure bikes in the world. It is loaded with features, offers great off-road and touring ability and is a hoot to look at too. Where the R 1250 GS scorers is in its torquey performance, sophisticated electronics, and great balance with superb low speed agility. It's also a great touring bike, can easily be used for the inter-city commute and will gladly handle any number of corners you throw at it on a twisty mountain road.
