you're gonna have to go for a test ride. both bike feels different and handle differently.


the new modenas versys 650 have more gadget than the vstrom.
and currently it's cheaper than the vstrom that is now selling for RM42k-44k new

but after testing both i think i prefer the vstrom as it feels lighter, easier to maneuver and felt narrower.
on the highway the versys might be better since the light handlebar is prone to wobble and quite a number of people are reporting this issue on the vstrom.
also people are reporting high speed wobble issue when the vstrom have panniers installed.

so which bike is better is purely based on your usage.
