Kawasaki Versys Tourer gets green light

Kawasaki is putting the Versys Tourer in to production following positive response to a prototype revealed at the NEC.

The Tourer comes with a set of hard panniers and mounting frame plus an adjustable flip-up screen. The parts are worth £500 on their own, but the Tourer model costs just £325 more than the standard Versys.

It can be specified with or without ABS in metallic black, metallic grey or metallic orange. It cost £5421 on the road or £5764 with ABS when it goes on sale at the end of February.
