Kawasaki Versys 1000

What can I say, Kawasaki just throw in another bombshell. The 1000cc version of the ever popular Versys 650. Looks good, 650 price on the road about 36k this one will surely be close to 80k.

Has mixed feeling about this bigger cc bike for adventure tour. On a long ride, let say 12 hours or more.. we will be very tired to handle this bike. A smaller cc may be easier to handle, furthermore its not speed that's count on a long journey it reliability and personal endurance.

Traction control, ABS and many more electronics gizmos, scared me for long distance ride. Theirs reliability need testing and as they say.. the more complicate a bike is the more chances for it to break.

I love the look of Versys but for my purpose and financial sense I may settle for it little brother.
