I own an 06 Harley Night train and a 2015 Versys. I love them both. I'm covered for any kind of riding I want to do. I really like your videos, keep em coming!

You're truly a brave man! I've narrowed my choices down between the Versys LT and the Yamaha FJ-09. It will be a while before I can purchase anything, so I'm comparing everything now.

Coal Country Sentinel ive narrowed my choices to those two as well. Once the Tracer 900 comes out for 2019 you should be able to find a great deal on an FJ as they will no longer be making them(i dont think).

thanks for the video . Comparing the two bikes is not really fair . Maybe the Kwaka with the Suzuki , Honda and Yamaha and the Harley with a John Deer or International Harvester .

Thanks for watching. It wasn't really my intent to compare the two bikes, rather to let my friend ride my Kawasaki. I agree these are two different bikes marketed for different audiences.

The best answer is to have a Versys and a Harley!

can you see yourself with the 650 then updating to the 1000?

I have the 650, love it! I would like to have its big brother, the 1000. Like Tim the tool man Taylor said...more power!! To be honest though, the 650 is probably the best bike for me. Very capable for anything i need! Easier to stay out of trouble.

Yes. And Kawasaki sounds good too because it's a twin... Someone mentioned (earlier) the larger Versys 1000 but I wouldn't value that so much because it's an inline4 - and they sound dull to me... If one likes larger engine, maybe then Africa Twin or KTM 1090, then something like Yamaha Tenere 1200 etc. there are so many twins available... Oh, yes there is the psysically smaller (I think) Yamaha FZ 07... But those triples, they might sound (the nervous howl) fascinating at first but...

I can think of a lot of things to describe the Versys 650, good sounding isn't one of them. I have one, and I honestly have zero desire to put aftermarket exhaust on it simply because it sounds so dull. It's a decent bike, maybe a tad vibey and underpowered, but the cornering is amazingly good and it has a comfortable riding position. At least with the stock exhaust you don't hear the motor at all above 40mph. That Harley Street 750 actually sounds pretty nice. The Versys 1000 actually sounds pretty good with an Akrapovic or Leo Vince exhaust on it, a deeper sound than your typical 600.

Add "Leo Vince underbody" to your Versys ans it sounds great =)

About the only system that sounds decent on the Versys, 180 degree parallel twins aren't good sounding motors to begin with. They sound like dirtbikes at low rpm and like appliances at high rpm. I would consider the Leo Vince for my Versys if I was planning to keep it awhile, but I'm looking to upgrade this year so keeping the stock exhaust on it.

Hey friend, how you doing. I've been watching your videos and they are very interesting. I have a Versys also and it is really a nice bike. I don't know if you feel a sound (like vibrations) on black plastics (fairing??) that host the speedometer produce an annoying noise. I have tried to adjust all plastics but the noise come back when the RPM goes beyond 4K. it is happening the same on your bike? if yes how you get rid of that? thanks for your help on this rgds

Thanks for watching! I get a vibration at about 4800 RPM and it does buzz the plastics and the seat. I spoke to my dealer about this and it is a common occurrence. He recommended I change the front sprocket to lower the RPM and keep me out of the range more often. I plan to do that and will share a video about the results.

I have an 09 Versys before the rubber mounted engines. The fairing buzz is a common problem. I took my fairings off and put foam tape all over where the plastics touch the frame mounts. I also changed out all the plastic push pin fasteners with stainless nuts and bolts. This helped get rid of the fairing buzz. Check the Kawasaki Versys forum for more info on this issue. A lot of good information there and everyone is pretty helpful.

They call it fairing buzz. Pull the various pieces of fairing off and put bits of double sided foam tape on everything that looks like it would rattle. In particular, there are loose bits surrounding the headlight. It's so much better without the buzz...

The 4k RPM fairing rattle is endemic to the 2008-2014 bikes. My 2009 has it both on the gauge cluster and the right upper fairing. The bike handles great, but that damn motor is just too vibey for the distances I ride, it is also a tad underpowered.
