Here is the Kawasaki Versys a relatively new offering from those Kawaski people. Its a 650cc water cooled twin cylinder which can be slotted into the 'all rounder' bike category. It uses the ER6 engine in a larger trailie stlyled frame so if you are under 5'7" tall be careful. It has long travel suspension and the engine is tuned to mid range in the useful 40 to 75 mph range. I will do up to 115 mph where the law allows you to do so, but this is no sports bike. The tank will see you do 200 miles between refills and in these days of inflationary petrol costs thats no bad thing. Styling is something you'll love or hate - I love it - it sort of grows on you and I like the ruffty tuffty trailie image anyway. But this is no dirt bike, rather it uses the trailie components (frame and suspension) to make a superb all round tool. It will commute and tour, in fact it will do most things pretty well. A nice bike and worth considering.

Summary: A bike for all season as well as all reasons - a top class all rounder
