Kawasaki Versys-X 250
The 2017 Kawasaki Versys-X 250 has now made it to
Indonesia. Sold in two versions, the Versys-X 250 City and Tourer, Kawasaki’s
Indonesian website lists the prices at IDR 61,9 million and IDR 72,7 million respectively.
Both dual-purpose styled machines
carry a 249 cc liquid-cooled parallel twin with DOHC and eight-valves. No power
figures were provided, but we assume with the Versys-X engine based on the Kawasaki
Ninja 250R, the numbers would be close to the 250R’s 29.9 hp at 10,500 rpm and
21.7 Nm torque at 10,000 rpm.
Fuelling is done with EFI,
feeding twin-throttle bodies equipped with dual throttle valves. Power gets to
the ground via a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, with spoked 19-inch
front and 17-inch rear wheels.
Braking is with a single-disc,
290 mm front and 220 mm rear, with Nissin hydraulic calipers. Fuel is carried
in a 17-litre tank, and a 41 mm telescopic fork props up the front end, with
Kawasaki’s Uni-Trak single gas-charged absorber at the back.
For the Versys-X 250 Tourer, a
brush guard comes as standard fitment, fitted with twin auxiliary driving
lights. Hand guards and rear panniers are also standard on the Tourer, while
the City version does without.
Two colour options are shown on
Kawasaki’s Indonesian website for the Versys-X 250. Candy Lime Green/Metallic
Graphite Gray and Candy Burnt Orange/Metallic Graphite Gray for the Tourer,
while the City gets Candy Lime Green/Metallic Graphite Gray and Metallic
Graphite Gray/Flat Ebony.
