its a very nice bike and a good price. On the other hand the T7 is 205kg wet, so some 10kg heavier. I would consider the T7 the more interesting bike but it comes with a much higher pricetag. if you are looking for a ore ofroad oriented bike, try the Kove 450, that is 50HP (in europe 40) and a wet weight of 165kg, but it is a bumper

I am interested to see how long it takes before these engines explode, the frames crack, the electronics fry, the lights steam up, the rims fail. If these bikes survive, I shall surely buy one. Chinese made or not ! If they pass the self destruct phase, they have hit the jackpot.

Yeah long term reliability is sadly something I can’t test over a short loan. The 800MT has proven reliable and I’ve heard nothing about the 450SR the engine comes from being dodgy so hopefully it’ll last. Time will tell. Nothing wrecks bikes fast like ADV riding.

It certainly looks the part and the exaust note sounds fabulous. Hopefully it will prove to be relatively reliable as well further down the line. I believe the wet weight is about 190kg?
@OnThrottle15 күн бұрын
Claimed dry weight is 175kg, so it is around there. 17.5 litres of fuel, couple of litres of oils, battery etc would put it around that 195-200kg mark. It looks substantial, especially from behind the bars with the tank fearing out in front of you but the narrow subframe means I can flat foot it with both feet. It’s quite easy to manage. I’ve not tried to put it on the ground and pick it up though 😅

I share your feelings on the 650 engine and its 180* crank: it’s docile around town (assuming good fueling), but fun to wind the snot out of! I like its revvy midrange punch and intake snort, and it’s nice to have an alternative to the pile of 270* cranks sprouting everywhere. I’m a Versys owner looking seriously at this bike. I love the Versys 650 platform; I just wish it was better suited to gravel roads and looked less like an alien space bug. I guess it’s a conventional WRX vs a Saaburu.
@OnThrottleАй бұрын
It still blows my mind that Kawasaki has made no attempt to fill that gap in their lineup at all. Yes, they’ve got the KLR, but it is a big dirt bike and lacks the on road manners of bikes like this and the Versys. The Versys-X 300 does do a similar job but how is it still rocking the 300cc engine when the Ninja is now a 500?? Multiple missed opportunities to cash in on the ADV craze IMO.
@ashermilАй бұрын
It is a big miss from Kawasaki. I’d love to see a back-to-back comparison of these two bikes (Versys and X-Cape), especially of their road manners. Did you find that the engine smoothed out or opened up after the break-in period? I test rode a Morini 650 SCR and the engine felt a little tight and jittery.
