2017 Kawasaki Versys X300
The Kawasaki Versys X300, today marked its Asian debut with a launch at the ongoing Thai
Motor Expo. The motorcycle will be available in two variants, City and Tourer.
The Kawasaki Versys X300 is styled just as the
bigger Versys 650 and Versys 1000. A large windshield has been provided which
will help protect the rider from wind blast. The mix of digital and analogue
instrumentation are present for the digital gear indicator, dual trip meter,
remaining fuel range plus current and average consumption and an eco-riding
indicator.
Powering the Kawasaki Versys X300 is a 296 cc
parallel twin mill sourced from the sports tourer Kawasaki Ninja 300. In the
faired motorcycle the engine churns out 39 PS of maximum power at 11,000 rpm
and 27 Nm of peak torque at 10,000 rpm. The Kawasaki Versys X300 also gets a
slipper clutch. The Japanese manufacturer adds that the engine in the adventure
tourer has been tuned for low and mid-range power, and it gives the bike a 400
km range.
The Kawasaki Versys X300 gets a long travel 41 mm
telescopic fork in the front and a uni-track gas charged mono shock in the
rear. The steel backbone frame is all-new, helping the bike to be light without
compromising on rigidity. It is decked with a 100/90-19 wheel in the front and
130/80-17 wheel in the rear, equipped with ABS.
The Kawasaki Versys X300 has been priced at 1.99
million Baht and 2.27 million Baht.
