Kawasaki Versys 650, 2025 India Launch: New Look, Cleaner Engine!

Kawasaki India has now released the 2025 version of its popular adventure bike, the Versys 650, giving the middle-sized bike group a fresh, energetic feel. The newest model comes in a cool new grey and green color mix, which really fits its adventurous nature and the growing trend of people wanting unique looks. Priced at ₹7.93 lakh (showroom price), the 2025 Versys 650 also has an updated engine that now meets the latest pollution rules (OBD2B), keeping up with current standards.

A Bright New Look

The first thing you’ll notice is the new grey color with Kawasaki’s special green touches. This strong combination makes the Versys 650’s sporty and useful design even better, helping it stand out whether you’re in the city or on twisty roads. The bike still has its familiar sharp body style, including the two LED headlights, a strong front part (beak), a big 21-liter fuel tank made for long trips, and a simple back end.

Cleaner Performance

While the main parts of the bike are still strong, the 2025 Versys 650’s 649cc liquid-cooled, two-cylinder engine now follows the OBD2B pollution rules. This shows Kawasaki’s care for the environment. This dependable engine still gives a comfortable 67 horsepower at 8500 rpm and 61 Nm of turning power at 7000 rpm, working with a smooth 6-speed gearbox. This engine is known for being useful in many situations – it has enough power for city driving, comfortable cruising on highways, and enough strength for fun riding on rougher roads.

Steady Handling and Features

The Versys 650 continues to be known as a capable and comfortable bike for adventures. It’s built with a strong steel frame, supported by front forks (41 mm inverted telescopic) that can be adjusted for bounce and spring tightness, and a rear shock absorber that can also be adjusted for spring tightness. This suspension system, with its long movement, is made to handle bumps and stay stable on different kinds of roads. The bike has 17-inch wheels, which offer a good balance between being easy to handle on paved roads and stable on uneven ground. Stopping is done by two 300 mm discs in the front and one 220 mm disc in the back, helped by ABS (anti-lock braking system) for safe stopping.

The list of features on the 2025 Versys 650 is still impressive. A full-color TFT screen that connects to your phone via Bluetooth gives riders important information like speed, fuel level, and directions. Riders can also see notifications for calls and music, making long rides more convenient. The windshield can be adjusted to change how much wind protection you get, adding to rider comfort.

Made for Indian Roads

With a ground clearance of 170 mm, the Kawasaki Versys 650 is well-suited for the different road conditions you find across India. Its comfortable upright riding position, along with the soft seat, makes sure you don’t get too tired even on long rides. The 21-liter fuel tank lets you travel a good distance without stopping often.

Price and When You Can Get It

The 2025 Kawasaki Versys 650 costs ₹7.93 lakh (showroom price), which is a little more (₹16,000) than the previous model, mainly because it now meets the OBD2B rules and has the new color option. If you’re interested, you can book the bike online through Kawasaki India’s website or by visiting your nearest Kawasaki dealer. They expect to start delivering the bikes soon through Kawasaki’s large network of over 100 dealers in India.

Who It’s For

The Versys 650 has always been popular with riders who want a bike that can do many things, like daily trips, weekend rides, and longer adventure tours. The 2025 model, with its new look and updated engine, will likely attract young, environmentally aware riders who want a bike that is not just fun and practical but also looks cool. Its comfortable way of sitting and ability to handle long trips also make it a great choice for people who want to explore the beautiful routes of India.
