why is it.. when you've had 2 of something one never hits the spot, there was a big space in my garage where my second bike lived and it was empty :sad: which was doing my trolley in, didn't want another supersport or another full tourer, wanted something different, good miles per gallon, good commuter, looked good and of course, it must be a kawasaki :clap: had my sights set on a 650 versys for while now :yes: but wasn't ready to give up the zx6r at the time :no: there's not enough room in my garaged for 3 bikes and myself :grin: because if 2 turned into 3 that's were I would be living for the foreseeable :laugh: the versys seems to ticks all the boxes for me now and they do have a excellent review, did want the A.B.S model but got such a good deal on a new unreg zero miles none A.B.S KLE 650 versys with the full touring package which includes the colour match panniers, hand guards, vario screen, tank gel pad protector which made it very hard to say :no: thanks to "the old boy" 65 ya know.. but between me and you, I reckon he's 66 ya know, but he's in denial :grin: for the information that I wanted to know before I spent my hard earned money on myself :mfr_lol:

:no: if I was paid to much the versys would have been the ltr one :wink: anyway steve.. this should please you no end! :yes: the versys comes with panniers and there going on the shelf in the garage :grin: can't see the point in using panniers when there's sod all in them or stuff you don't need for a days ride out :wink: :whistling:
You just never know though Dave what you might buy while you're out. These panniers will always come in handy.
I never have the panniers on the GTR, but since I have had the Versys I quite often put them on and fill them with change of gloves, different riding kit, and spare civvy gloves and hats, Oh and not forgeting my umbrella :embarrassed: :popcorn:

Da ya know Steve, I just knew that it was a grave error not buying two sets of pink armbands all those years ago :cry: :cry: :cry: They would have looked really cute :kiss: tucked away in my panniers, just waiting for the day when my number 1 set had passed to the other side :surrender: :popcorn:
