The bike was based on the frame, engine and chassis from the Kawasaki road series [[Kawasaki_ER-6|ER-6]], however, in contrast, the Versys had a longer travel suspension, an adjustable inverted front fork (on [[Kawasaki_ER-6|ER-6]] - normal, unregulated), another subframe, front half fairing and other engine settings (reducing maximum power by improving traction at low and medium revs).
Since 2007, the Kawasaki Versys 650 has been available in the European and Canadian markets, since 2008 in the US market (excluding California), and since 2009 in California.
'' The main configurations of the Kawasaki Versys 650' Modifications: '''
* '''Kawasaki Versys 650 Tourer''' - has hand protection, tank protection and side trunks of 28 liters each with inner bags.
* '''Kawasaki Versys 650 Tourer Plus''' - Tourer version + LED fog lights and gearshift indicator.
The main features of the Kawasaki Versys 650 include a steel diagonal frame, an injection engine, adjustable suspensions in the form of an inverted fork (adjustable preload and rebound damping) and a monoshock (adjustable preload and rebound damping), 17-inch wheels, powerful 2-disc front brakes, availability versions with ABS, 19 l fuel tank (from 2015 - 21 l) and 181-209 kg dry matter.
