Discount
The Rs. 20,000 discount comes in the form of a cash voucher, effectively reducing the bike’s cost. This price cut makes the Versys 650 a bit more appealing in the middleweight ADV segment, especially for riders planning long-distance road trips who also value a good deal.
Here’s how the updated pricing looks:
| Model | Original Price | Discount | New Price |

| Versys 650 | Rs. 7.77 lakh | Rs. 20,000 | Rs. 7.57 lakh |
Engine
The Versys 650 is powered by a 649cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. It delivers 65.7bhp and 61Nm of peak torque, which is more than enough for highway cruising and light off-road trails. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox that ensures smooth power delivery across a wide RPM range, making it suitable for both relaxed rides and spirited sprints.
Features
Kawasaki has packed the Versys 650 with a solid list of features that support both comfort and performance. Some key highlights include:
- Full LED lighting setup
- TFT display with smartphone connectivity
- USB charging port
- Switchable traction control
- Dual-channel ABS
These features are not only useful on long rides but also bring the Versys 650 in line with modern tech expectations in this segment.
Design
Visually, the Versys 650 is a classic Kawasaki — sharp, aggressive, and functional. It sports twin LED headlights neatly tucked into a chiselled front fairing. The extended fuel tank shrouds serve a dual purpose: adding to the muscular appeal and also protecting the radiator during light off-road runs.
Buyers can pick from two dark-themed paint options: Metallic Matte Dark Gray and Metallic Flat Spark Black. Both colours give the bike a mature and rugged road presence.
Hardware
The bike uses a high-tensile tubular steel frame that keeps it light yet strong. Suspension duties are handled by USD forks up front with adjustable rebound and preload, paired with a monoshock at the rear. The 17-inch alloy wheels are more road-biased, hinting at the Versys’ touring intentions rather than hardcore off-roading.
For braking, it uses dual 300mm front discs and a 250mm disc at the rear, offering reliable stopping power. The seat height and upright ergonomics are designed to offer long-distance comfort without compromising control.
Rivals
In the Indian market, the Kawasaki Versys 650 takes on models like the Triumph Tiger Sport 660. While both bikes aim for the mid-weight adventure touring category, the Versys stands out with its competitive pricing, especially with the current discount.
So if you’re looking to get into the adventure-touring scene without breaking the bank, the Versys 650 with this limited-time discount is definitely worth checking out.
