How Cool is the Kawasaki Versys?

The Kawasaki Versys may just be my next motorcycle purchase. A little while back, I got the opportunity to actually sit on the seat of a Kawasaki Versys at a Kawasaki Dealership. I was quite impressed by the Kawasaki Versys. The seat on the Kawasaki Verysys was quite comfortable, and it was almost like a sport bike, but not quite. It actually seemed a Kawasaki Versys rider wouldn't have to compact themselves as much on the motorcycle as sport bike riders do.

According to Versys: Specifications, the Kawasaki Versys is a "649 cc" motorcycle. I currently own a Kawasaki Vulcan EN500A, so if I purchased the Kawasaki Versys in the future, I would get a bit of a jump in cc's.

My boyfriend isn't too found of the headlight on the Kawasaki Versys, calling it "mushroom-shaped", but I thought the overall look of the Kawasaki Versys was quite nice. Actually, I do think the Kawasaki Versys looks better from a side-view than from a front-view, but it is a quite nice-looking bike. My boyfriend didn't care for the look of the Kawasaki Versys at first, but I think he even grew to like it. The second time he saw the Kawasaki Versys in the dealership, he said that he liked the look of the Kawasaki Versys more than he did when he saw it the first time. He's more into sport bikes, and the Kawasaki Versys doesn't quite look like a sport bike to me.

The one thing that I would have a hard time getting used to on the Kawasaki Versys is the tallness of it. Versys: Specifications says that the Kawasaki Versys is "51.8 in." tall. The Kawasaki Versys is quite tall, even for me (and I'm almost 6 feet tall.) Not that I mind the height of the Kawasaki Versys, but I wasn't used to sitting on a bike that tall. I would definitely have to get used to the bike's stature. I was so shocked when I sat on the Kawasaki Versys Seat, and I had to tiptoe my feet in order to hold the Kawasaki Versys up.
