    I just brought home a Versys last Wednesday.

    The bike is an absolute ball to ride. It handles so well it's almost intuitive.

    I'm looking forward to getting enough miles on it to really wring it out. The motor just feels like there is so much potential there. The shifter works so silky smooth and the clutch and it are so compatible. It's a rider's ride and just responds so well to rider input. I'm really liking it.

    Yep, us Versys riders do take pictures . . . . .

    +1 on the VS, Only had it a week, but lovin it. It is exactly what I was hoping for in a bike. Comfortable, Quiet, plenty of range and very inexpensive to maintain.

    Doyline, Louisiana. Only one in area I believe. Bought mine in Kansas and rode home. Took 650 miles to go 480, ha! During breakin you can only do like 4000 rpm and 50mph, so stayed on backroads, mostly in Arkansas, 90 mo, 27 ar.

    Ahh, on the other side of the state. Might have to get togethor for a ride. I want to see one in person. After reading the reviews it sounds like a nice package. And I have always been partial to Kawasaki. Nice lookin bike!
