Hi bikers, Currently I am looking forward to upgrade my bike from CBR250R (2014) to the new Versys 650. I need confirmation: Kawasaki does not sell ABS model here? because I really wish to have ABS due to my past 'close call' experience ( my CBR does not have ABS). Let say I just forget about Versys because of no ABS and opted for Suzuki V-strom 650 which comes with ABS, how about the maintenance of this Suzy? long term wise? I am using this bike for daily commute only; 140km/day. Please advise. TQ.

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jul 10 2018, 02:40 PM) Suzuki has a rather small market share here. so part and maintenance may be an issue unless u know exactly where to go. I still feel kawasaki is the safest bet in terms of parts etc. as for versys 650abs... not sure if it comes with it though.. some googling doesnt really show anything other than this website: https://www.zigwheels.my/new-motorcycles/kawasaki/versys-650another option to look at is the Z650 or the new ninja 650 which comes standard with ABS though u will have to accesorize it to a more touring style (if thats ur thing) by fitting in larger windscreens, taller handle bars etc what in gods name are u doing in this sub forum then? sheesh thanks I have confirmed Malaysia Versys 650 does not come with ABS. I like the new look of Z650 and Ninja 650 but I prefer touring bike like versys/cb500x/vstrom. Now still in survey mode for Suzuki parts availability. High probability I will go for Versys.

High probability I will go for Versys. yes confirm no abs. there is a difference in between versys 650 and vstrom 650. the ride quality and handling etc. all u can find @ angmo reviews, utubes, forums, and also local vstrom fb group where many versys owners have changed to vstrom...

Never had any experience with big bike though. That was long time ago. Till now the shop keep sending me SMS greeting seasonal greeting card and birthday wishes. My friend bough his MT-09 there 3 years ago. For me it's just another bike shop.

QUOTE(DoomHammer @ Jul 17 2018, 12:27 AM) Yah. Thank God. The road still wet, after rain. The speed hovering around 80-90km/h. When I slam on the brakes, I can feel the ABS unit pulsating, regulating the brakes. No wheel locking. Pheeew. Damn car I can't imagine if on that day I was on my PCX instead of Rebel. Sure lost control & slides / drop the bike... This post has been edited by haturaya: Jul 17 2018, 07:46 AM

yeah bro. go for vstrom. I had nvx as spare bike (got front abs). test brake with my friend riding versys650 months ago. very wet road, speed set at 80kmph.bothbike do hard braking (front immediately slammed 100% force, back 50%). my small scooter still stable while versys650 almost fall down due to wheel locking. my friend had to put both foot down to control the bike. nvx braking distance also shorter.

Yesterday I surveyed the on the road price for Versys 650 around my home. The quoted price is around 39k+ (with a few free gift). salesman told me the price will not exceed 40k. On d road price for Tracer MT09 is around 51k -eyeing for this but the price is beyond my budget.
I wonder how much is the on the road price for Vstrom650Xt? unable to survey for this bike because no Suzy dealer around home.
