Pros Cons of Kawasaki Versys 650

Pros

  • Comfortable ride
  • Great tourer
  • Value-friendly

Cons

  • Tall seat height
  • Limited electronic aids
  • Dated design

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. 

Pros Cons Honda CB500X

Pros

  • Great all round package
  • Comfortable ergonomics
  • Decent performance

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Only available in BigWing dealerships
  • More options available

Verdict

The Honda CB500X is a good touring machine and can take on the rough easily too. It is available in two colours - Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic and Grand Prix Red. The one big gripe that we have is the pricing, which feels exorbitant. Honda CB500X is actually a versatile motorcycle and It is perhaps the best-rounded package in the 500 cc space, but customers will have to be willing to pay the price for it.
