Japanese automaker Kawasaki has launched the 2022 version of its Versys 650 motorbike in India. It is offered in two shades. As for the highlights, the bike has a refreshed design and gets a TFT instrument cluster as well as a Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) system. It is backed by a 649cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that makes 66hp of power.

The 2022 Kawasaki Versys 650 has a four-way adjustable windscreen, sharper fairings similar to the Versys 1000, a muscular fuel tank, split-style seats, an underbelly exhaust, and high-set handlebars. There are also new graphics. The bike packs an all-LED lighting setup, a Bluetooth-enabled TFT instrument cluster, and rides on alloy wheels. It is offered in Lime Green and Metallic Phantom Silver shades.

The new Kawasaki Versys 650 draws power from a 649cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that generates a maximum power of 66hp and a peak torque of 61Nm. The mill is linked to a 6-speed gearbox.

In terms of safety equipment, the Kawasaki Versys 650 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS and a switchable traction control system with two modes. Suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by Showa's 41mm inverted telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable mono-shock unit on the rear end.

In India, the 2022 iteration of the Kawasaki Versys 650 adventure motorcycle sports a price figure of Rs. 7.36 lakh. This makes it Rs. 21,000 more expensive than the outgoing model (all prices, ex-showroom).
