MCN test: BMW F650GS, Kawasaki Versys, Suzuki DL650 V-Strom

V Strom for me!! very good engine! of course BMW is... BMW right? jaja and Versys well i´m not a big fan of its design.

i wouldnt have a bmw as long as ive got a hole in my arse to shite through , v-stroms a top bike but the versys is well funky

BMW for me, the Versys is too buzzy; V strom lack the throttle/torque compared to the 800/650GS...PLUS there is unlimited aftermarket goodies you can buy to upgrade and personalize the BMW with.

Yes I agree, BMW for me please!

even if they found it uncomfortable, a new after market seat or rear set adjusters and its good, the indicator switch could easily be modded with a little techy know how

Well I owned a Vstom 650 and put on about 12,000 miles. Great bike, smooth power- not one complaint. Bike was thrown out of bed of my truck when truck was hit- totaled it. I thought I would try the Versys. It has good power..couple of bugs-buzzy fairing, bad mirrors, seat slides you into tank. I have only put on 500 miles so far. 2 bikes, 2 different "styles" I dont regret buying either. I like them both. Both did well on dirt roads. I think Vstrom more comfortable, Versys more fun.......

The Versys is the weekend play bike/fun touring bike. The V-Strom is the hard-core, super-reliable commuting king that you can put a good solid eighty thousand trouble free miles on! I'd have to say the strom is probably a better bike in terms of quality and reliability. But the "nicer" bike is definitely the Versys.

HES ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!

hahahahaha I though the same thing, but them I just remember when I was visiting UK and they really ride in that side of the road as long as Australia india and japan.
