Kawasaki Versys-X 250

The Versys-X 250 is an adventure-styled touring model that builds on the any-road any-time performance of Kawasaki’s Versys models by adding increased capability on unpaved roads. At 250cc, the Versys-X 250 is the smallest-displacement model in the touring category, and the only model of its kind. Like you would expect from a bike designed to be the ideal travel partner, it offers the best comfort and convenience of any 250cc model.

Fuel Injected Parallel Twin Engine
Efficiently-tuned 249cc Parallel Twin engine produces smooth, torquey power at low and medium rpm and powerful acceleration at high rpm. Smooth power delivery and strong low-end torque facilitate slow-speed manoeuvres, offering both a high level of control when making minute throttle adjustments and a gratifying rush of acceleration in the lower rpm ranges, while lower vibrations care of a balancer, and ample top end offer comfortable highway cruising.

Fine-Atomising Injectors + Dual Throttle Valves
Fuel injection ensures stable fuel delivery regardless of temperature or air pressure, as well as excellent starting characteristics.

28mm main throttle valves complemented by larger sub-throttle valves measuring 40.2mm help flow a great volume of air, contributing to engine performance. Fine-atomising injectors with a droplet size of only 60µm contribute to combustion efficiency.

Heat Management Technology
Large openings in the fairing promote airflow when riding to help dissipate engine heat.
Patented radiator fan cover located behind the radiator directs hot air down and away from the rider, significantly increasing comfort when stuck in heavy traffic. Redirecting the air also helps keep the tank, frame and other parts that contact the rider cooler, further increasing the rider comfort.

Assist & Slipper Clutch
Offering both assist and slipper functions, this racing-inspired clutch acts as both a back-torque limiter and a self-servo mechanism that enables a lighter clutch lever pull.

Economical Riding Indicator
A mark appearing on the instrument panel to indicate favourable fuel consumption, encouraging fuel efficient riding.

Long-Travel Suspension
41 mm telescopic front fork handles suspension duties up front.

Rugged Backbone Frame
The all-new highly rigid backbone frame was designed to handle external shocks, contributing to the Versys-X 250 unpaved-road capability.

Large-Volume Bodywork & Adventure-Style Design
The Versys-X 250 large-volume bodywork and impressive adventure styling give it the imposing appearance of a much larger-displacement machine. In contrast to the street-focused Versys models, the rugged design of the Versys-X 250 looks very much at home off the pavement.

Large Windshield
The combination of a tall upper cowl design inspired by adventure models, and a large-size windshield provides superior wind protection, adding to long-distance riding comfort and contributing to adventure-style looks.

Slim, Upright Riding Position
The Versys-X’s slim, upright riding position and a wide handlebar offer high controllability as well as the comfort for long-distance riding.
A relatively low seat height and a seat design that is slim at the front make it easy for a wide range of riders to easily reach the ground with their feet.

Wide Rear Seat and Passenger Grips
Complementing the rider’s comfortable seat, a wide rear seating area and ergonomically sculpted grab bars deliver superior passenger comfort.
The rear seat area is flat and together with the rear carrier offers and excellent platform for securing luggage.
