While MODENAS will launch the Vulcan S later this year, the Malaysian motorcycle manufacturer has confirmed that the Versys 650 will follow suit in 2023.
The Versys 650 has been among the most popular sport-touring motorcycles since its introduction in 2006.

The display can also be paired to a compatible smartphone device and the Kawasaki Rideology app, which allows riders to access instrument functions.
Other updated features include a full LED light setup, new graphics, revised styling (in line with its larger Versys 1000 cousin) and a new four-way adjustable windshield.
