650. 2

Product Information

The afternoon took us into the dirt, and another characteristic I had to adjust to is the gear shift position. I couldn’t get my motocross boot under the lever easily, especially when standing on the pegs. Upshifting was a struggle, particularly from 1st to 2nd. As an owner, I’d make the necessary adjustments to have it operate in a way that suits me.

The burbling motor sips its way through the 21-litre fuel tank with a tiny straw and the handling is predictable and easy. I’d never ridden a Versys 650 before this test, but it felt like I’d been on this one for years after just 40 miles in the saddle.In its 16-year lifespan, the Versys has lived through countless changes to the motorcycling landscape, but the road-biased middleweight adventure segment has never been hotter – currently saturated with capable, credible competition from Japan and Europe.

The Motoverse edition of the Shotgun 650 takes inspiration from the motorcycles of the future. Its custom-designed, hand-painted body panels feature a carefully crafted gradient and neon detailing that no factory can produce. Each of these 25 motorcycles have been customised over months, making it unlike any other Royal Enfield or unlike any other motorcycle on the road today.The KLR has built an enviable reputation for being simple, reliable, and economical. The new KLR aims to maintain that reputation, and updates for 2022 add practicality without unnecessary complexity. Guidance to assist testing laboratories, or others involved in healthcare, in the transport of patient specimens suspected of containing Coronavirus (COVID-19), which has been classified as UN 3373 Biological Substance Category B. This latest model is no different, featuring the same steel diamond chassis and twin-pot motor as the previous incarnation, allowing for a claimed 66bhp and manageable Kawasaki Versys 650 seat height of 845mm. What’s new though is the styling, which now mimics the larger four-cylinder Versys 1000. There’s also LED lights everywhere and a colour 4.3in TFT dash with mobile connectivity. But is it enough to be top dog in a competitive sector? The word legend is overused, especially by cliché-loving motojournalists, but when it comes to the world of adventure riding, the Kawasaki KLR650 can lay a credible claim to the title. With its second major update since being introduced in 1987, the 2022 Kawasaki KLR650 continues the model’s long history as an affordable, dependable adventure bike.

Strapped up with luggage, I’ve no doubt it would handle a spot of solo touring too, with a hefty 21 litre tank (that’s more than a BMW R1250GS) providing a theoretical 241.6 miles between stops. It can also be restricted for an A2 licence. Exactly where the Versys fits in will have to be be decided in a later group test, but the Kawasaki shines in isolation as a no frills easy going tall roader. Despite updates to the styling and electronics, the 2022 Kawasaki Versys 650 retains the same 649cc, circa 66bhp parallel-twin engine as before. The freeze indicator starts blinking when the ambient temperature falls below 3°C. It continues to blink for 30 seconds then remains lit until the ambient temperature rises above 5°C.

R&D

The Kawasaki Versys 650 has been part of the Japanese firm’s range since 2006, providing a dependable introduction to road-focussed adventure touring for riders of all experience levels and carrying salt-crusted commuters across years of dependable service. The new digital display works well, and the fuel gauge is a welcome addition on a bike that will be pushed to its range limits. The Shotgun 650 takes Royal Enfield's legacy of customization further by offering a canvas that allows motorcyclists to make a statement without sacrificing the benefits of Royal Enfield’s dedicated after-sales service ecosystem. Conceived as a revolutionary neo-retro roadster, the intent of the Shotgun 650 was to break free from historical constraints while preserving the brand's core DNA.
