took my new 650 versys out for a decent ride yesterday, and first impressions are  :clap: the 2 cylinder engine takes some getting use to compared with the big super smooth 4 cylinders :yes: but credit where's credit is due, it as a excellent engine and gearbox and as a very relaxed riding position, got it to commute to work on and to keep the miles down on my ZZR :smiley: don't plan on using the panniers unless I venture out for a weekend away so removed the panniers and fitted a bagster tank cover for those daily essentials, also fitted a hugger, rad guard, fenda extenda, cotton reels, and a gel seat. here is a few pics to stop the "wolf" from asking.. "where are the pics" :wink:

with panniers

and to piss the "wolf" off.. without panniers :grin: taken at the ponderosa north wales :smiley:

next 2 pics taken at delamear forest "without" panniers steve.. :sweatdrop:



getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

Finally, the pictures have arrived.  :mfr_lol: It looks good does the Versys with or without the panniers Dave. That there Ponderosa place, is that in North Wales, have you ever been there before? :whistling:

:no: found the ponderosa by accident :yes: got lost, then come across the place :smiley: so decided to stop and have a full English :banana: then got talking some bollocks to the guy who owned the B.M.W 1200 GS in the pic :grin: but now I know where the ponderosa is I will be going again :smiley: I may even let you come next time :yes:

:yes: Rog the versys is a nice comfy relaxed bike to ride :smiley: also seems to handle very well, when the tyres were scrubbed in and the weather brighten up I found it very easy to chuck around :yes: wanted something completely different from the zzr and the only thing theses 2 bikes have in common is.. they both have "two wheels" :grin:

p.s sorry about nicking your terminology.. from now on its my "fume shed" :mfr_lol:

The little 'un is a great bike Dave, now, I've not actually ridden one, but do feel able to comment having ridden out with Geoff on many occasions whilst he has been on his 650.....it basically does what it says on the tin   :yes:

You're excused about the "Rev Shed" usage................... but only this once  :mfr_lol:
BE KIND...
