Conclusion

In its stock form, the KLE650 Versys isn’t an enduro like the KLE500 before it, but the ADVersys project yielded results surpassing our expectations. There’s no doubt the 19? front wheel gained the Versys more versatility from pavement pounding highways, to gravel and dirt roads. The overall improvement to the bike was undeniable in every aspect from comfort, off-road handling and a dramatic increase in “wow” factor.

With only a few relatively simple changes at the factory, there’s no doubt the Versys would be considerably more capable and attractive to both experienced and new motorcycle consumers. As the adventure motorcycle industry grows around the world, we can only hope to see more Versys in the hills, deserts and mountains of North America… and maybe even wearing a KLE650 badge. Until then, there’s more work to do on the ADVersys so don’t be surprised if it shows up on a trail or rally near you!
