hi all, what's your take on modenas versys 650? heard that its locally assembled, will it make you think its less reliable than a CBU unit?
one thing i dislike bout the versys is that it sounds like a lawn mover and its only 62hp for a bike that size
I am looking for a middle weight bike for long distance and with good exhaust note - not willing to change exhaust (3/4 cylinder) with a budget of 45k or abit more. placed order for the CB650R but it looks like it will never arrive and likely end of production by this year. I dont mind a naked bike for long distance ride ( i like feeling like a parachute haha)
currently looking at
1. Versys 650 - hate the exhaust note, but its cheap,
2. Triumph sports 660 - cost more than cb650r, trying to avoid conti bikes because parts are alot more expensive and hard to get parts whenever needed. (that's what i have been told so dont beat me for it please.)
3. MT - 09 - alot lot more than cb650r but it has a sweet exhaust note inline 3. but the power is too much for me to handle, me scared, dislike the mt 07 feel on the road, suspension feels too soft.
to end it what i am prioritizing is good exhaust sound and a smooth ride(less vibration) and also a more upright position bike
Long time never show show... Haha
