The Kawasaki Versys has been introduced in India via CKD (Completely Knocked Down) route. It gets a 649cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, parallel twin engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox that generates about 68bhp of power and a peak torque output of about 64Nm. For maximum control, the Versys 650 gets dual 300mm petal discs with dual-piston calipers at the front, while the rear gets single 250mm petal disc with single piston caliper.

Rider comfort being a priority, the Versys 650 gets upside down telescopic fork suspension for front, while the rear gets remote adjustable spring with single offset laydown shock absorber. The KLX 110 with off-roading potential is not road-legal in the country and is strictly limited to personal track runs or racing events. The bike comes with drum brakes both on the front as well as rear.
