I want to replace my 2007 Versys 650.
With a new one.
But can't. Fuck you Kawasaki NZ.
It's perfect. Handles, carries a lot of stuff, wheelies, is comfortable but doesn't scare me to death.

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Well, this is awkward...

I tried to find a 650 Versys to test ride at a dealer's when I was looking for a new bike a couple of years ago but couldn't; not the most popular here it would seem.Got this back from an dealer a few weeks ago "hot off the press Kawasaki is bringing in 1 shipment in Feb 16, estimated price of $14995 and only 6 coming for NZ"

Specifically after an LT, so they can get double fucked. Will probably buy a MV Stradale 800 instead.

YEah - at $15 the MV is not a lot more if you haggle

Looks amazing, wonder how comfortable it would be though.
Or you could upsize!

The thou is a big fat whale with no redeeming features except a mid range rush. It is terrible on gravel. It's like trying to steer a 300kg balloon.
The riding position of the Stradale is practically the same as the Versys 650.

How about the Tracer?

I was talking to a Tracer owner a couple weeks back. He was very happy with his purchase. Not a bad looking ride for that style either. And that engine sounds sweet with a pipe ....
Haven't seen anyone selling them here. The Clean Motorcycles guy doesn't return phone calls. Any retailer worth their salt should be at work on Christmas day.
The LT Versys comes with bags. I have Givi V35s on my current one and they're brilliant. The couple of grand necessary to add them to a standard new Versys makes it cost about the same as the Stradale that Motorad have with expandable semi-hard bags standard.
I might just go "sod it" and buy the Stelvio in Scooterazzi.

The Carterton dude won't do roadbikes and the Upper Hutt dude never has demos. Which leaves Filco in Nelson and Freedom in Palmy as the next closest dealers. Again, buying a luggage system for the bloody thing makes it really expensive. May as well buy an MV.

Fair enough. Do they have the wherewithal to service it?
Seems a common thing in NZ to remove luggage from touriers landed here and flogging it separately. BMW and KTM have both done it, even with top end with models that sell off shore complete and unadulterated.

Yes. Guzzi specialists.

parting of the sensory
I'd like to get another bike, but... each time I think about it, it just doesn't make senes, as the VFR does everything I want it to, and I don't think I'd find something else that is such an all-round great bike. I've had it over 11 years now, and it's clocked up over 100,000km (two-thirds of those under my bum). The only thing I am tempted to buy is an electric scroter or bike, as most of my riding the last few years has been commuting to work, 15 to 20 minutes each way, and although I've had no problems with the VFR (and the commute is always interesting if not great fun), it is expensive in terms of overall costs.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Finding the 1200 one of the easiest bikes to ride in town I have ever owned. Light clutch and tips into corners at low speeds very easily.
