maybe we can use this as an example to see how well or fast the kawasaki agent can order the parts here & get it repair & up & running.

 

Cos i dun really have much faith to depend on them

There is not much choice, if you really like the bike, you have to bite the bullet and get it first. Then look for other means to get the parts. It has really exploded in terms of popularity in europe and now the US. The accessory lists confirm will be growing. One way would be to stock up on essentials like gasket kits or might I suggest the current group pool some money and share the resource like stocking say two sets of essential spares and whoever needs it, take and reorder so there is no waiting time. This way the money outlay is less individually. It relies heavily on mutual trust as money is involved and if the one who uses the shared resource doesn't do his part in reordering fast enuf.

alamak i jus came back from refuel didn't know you ok for late night refuelling hehe. but for me also not too late lah. usually i'll leave ard 10pm and will be back by 12. finally tonight hit 700km so i guess by monday i can go for oil change when it hits 800 or 1000. cheeko did u do your first service at Evershine? it states free service but do we have to pay for labor??

[Foresight]

Hi guys the versys is a brilliant looking bike. comparing the specs between the versys and the dl650. quite similar. Am trying to decide between the 2. The Vstrom has a slighter bigger tank and good fuel consumption? However versys lighter and more compact looking not to mention the cool rear suspension. any pointers to tip the balance?

[dintigger]

well tonight i and adiriot going to refuel at GP petronas about 10 pm maybe ... anyone want to join ... foresight and cheeko you both are welcome to join

Gixxer you free?

[Foresight]

wish i could go GP for topup petrol....only got mpv. taking my class 2 in may after a haitus of 16 years between licenses : ) mid life crisis.....

[dintigger]

hahaha same same i also mid life C... anyway comparing the 2 Vs'

the strom is heavier even for the 650 comparing to the Versys and the FC for versys is bettter so for a 19liter tank it is good enuff la about 22-24km/liter.

 

as for comfort ..it is always a personal thingie..

before riding the DR i find the egronomics of the Fazer is ok and also the super4 but after being on a DR my opinion changes .

so you see difrent ppl see things diffrently so it is up to u ..

what is best is to test ride both bike and you yourself decide.

 

as for me haha i am spolit by the versys now.. and in the future to upgrade will be a tedious task for me cos i be comparing it to the versys as power is not a factor for me .. for me it is the whole experience.

 

you bring yourself to versys.co.uk it is a forum and the ang mos compare a lot to other bikes .. some of them unbias comparision .. it is a good read if your have lots of time

thanks for the info. imho, the versys is a sexier bike, design wise (upsidedown fork, crazy headlights, bad ass looking exhaust). price also identical to dl650. ABS on both bikes right? well i still have to pass my class 2 first b4 i decide 37 year old ah pek taking tp test in may....

[dintigger]

i dont know bout the ABS on the strom but i know the Versys has it and i already test it on the 2nd day with the bike... thanks to the LTA appointed ABS testers- Taxi drivers.

 

hahah we not there far behind bro so far all the versys owners i know now are above 30 hahah i am 33 this year... old man that prefer to lim kopi and talk bout sammyboy than going to disco hahahhaha so u a samster? hahahahah
