I was riding for 3 years v-strom, since 2 years versys - versys is lighter, more powerful, bigger fun. I would go for versys without any doubts

I suggest test riding both on the highway before buying. The Versys is fun but more comparable to SV650. Versys on the highway is very buzzy. The VStrom is a very smooth bike on the freeway/highway and one could easily tell it was meant for cruising..or City streets, highway, freeway, fire road, trails, rocky roads, beaches, etc...it's all good.

Versys = Short trip fun

VStrom = Long distance Comfort

The VStrom holds it value and is hard to find on the used market. Especially the ABS models

i rode a Vstrom 650 on a tour through the Alps in Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and Italy WITH my girlfriend on the back. The bike handled great going up and down Timmelsjoch. I was so pleased with it during the tour, I bought a Vstrom 1000 when I came back to the States.

@MrPaczanga

more powerful? Much more? Really? Are You shure? You tell us bullshit.

Quick English translation - That one customer who tested both bikes said: V-Strom is great, better for touring, all around fun. Versys is even better in the twisties, more sporty than the V-Strom, but with a harsher gearbox and less wind protection. V-Strom has a 19" front wheel, Versys 17".

That's all. I have a Versys, love the bike, it's flawless. V-Strom IMO looks better though, even after the facelift (I have a 2011).
