If so, something is wrong in their heads over there. The 649cc standard bike is actually supposed to be a fun and interesting lil bike, but I say nay nay. The biggest issue I had found is when watching a rider on the Versys. The location of the rider in relation to the handlebar setup looks unnatural.  The front fairing hangs low out outstretched in front of the rider. The tank seems long and the seat puts the rider in a comfortable upright and natural riding position, but the handlebars are so far away, you need to outstretch your arms beyond the natural comfort zone to even operate the Versys. I’m sure in some manner the Versys has some pros but I am just so perturbed by the bike, I’m not sure I can continue. For Bren and Sven specs of the Versys click here.
