Kawasaki Versys 650

[bikerdoc]

Barry,
By any chance do you know what a new one is running for here in paradise? I am thinking about selling my JH600 and moving onto something else. I was thinking the BMWF800GS supposed to come in at around RMB140K but this might be a more reasonable option......

I bought a GS Sept '14. Came with centre stand, factory integrated heated grips, integrated hazard lights, Powerlet accessory plug, and wire wheels (I've added so many farkles since). The KLE650 was on my radar but it's not a dual sport though I do like the Kwaka having seen them at last years '14 CIMA show. If the DL650 'Wee' was better priced for PRC (not the 145K+ as it is at the moment), I would have seriously considered it. The Wee-Strom is priced more than the F800GS, and having seen the new F800GS being delivered to excited foreign/expat owners in Thailand while I was in northern Thailand earlier this year, it is a no brainer between the F800GS and DL650 given the pricing here. That being stated though I still like the CB500X as a platform to play with, it's just a shame that the model is not being imported here despite the CBR500 and CB500F being imported. Don't really understand that decision since I'd think the CB500X would be the better suited model for the local conditions. But hey what do I know... LOL.

Not sure if you might be interested waiting for the CFMoto 650MT (aka 650AK) ADV bike which is Kiska designed...

KLE650 MSRP 82800 + tax
F700GS MSRP 127800 + tax (there is a 5% discount at the moment) because...
F800GS MSRP 140000 + tax (ex Thailand) ETA November '15.
