Kawasaki Versys 650 launched at Rs 8.63 lakh with new colour
Kawasaki has officially launched the MY27 Versys 650 in India at Rs 8.63 lakh ex-showroom. Buyers can expect deliveries to have already begun following the brand schedule, bringing a fresh cosmetic update to the adventure tourer segment.
Prices across major Indian cities
The ex-showroom tag translates to quite a variance when you add local road taxes and registration fees across different states. City on-road figures sit noticeably higher depending on where you complete your purchase.
- Delhi pricing stands at Rs 9.74 lakh
- Mumbai on-road touches Rs 10.78 lakh
- Bangalore buyers pay Rs 10.61 lakh
- Pune registration brings it to Rs 10.77 lakh
What remains unchanged on the Kawasaki Versys 650
Mechanically, this new model year carries over the exact setup from the previous version without alterations to the hardware. Power comes from the familiar 649cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor that pushes out 67hp at 8,500rpm and 61Nm at 7,000rpm. The engine pairs with a 6-speed gearbox and an assist-and-slipper clutch, while the tubular diamond frame holds a 41mm telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock with remote preload adjustability.
Colours and equipment on the latest model
The primary update for this iteration is the addition of a single Candy Lime Green paint scheme replacing older options. Buyers still get the 4.3-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, traction control, full LED lighting, and an adjustable windscreen. The machine tips the scales at 220kg with its 21-litre fuel tank filled to the brim, featuring an 845mm seat height and 170mm of ground clearance.
What owner ratings tell us about the bike
Pooled owner ratings across public listing platforms give the Kawasaki Versys 650 an average score of 3.5 out of 5 based on 177 ratings. This feedback helps prospective buyers weigh touring comfort against the heavy kerb weight and tall stance before putting down their money.

TT Score
A capable 650cc adventure-tourer with a 21-litre tank and 61 Nm of torque, but its ₹8.48–8.63 lakh ex-showroom price and 218 kg kerb weight make it a costly, substantial choice for Indian buyers.
Who it suits
- Long-distance tourer — The 21-litre fuel tank, 61 Nm of torque and 19.4 kmpl claimed mileage suit sustained highway touring.
- Tall adventure-bike buyer — The 845 mm seat height and 1,360 mm overall height provide the physical package expected from a full-size adventure-tourer.
- Performance-focused rider — Its 649cc parallel-twin produces 65.7 bhp and uses a 6-speed manual gearbox.
- Frequent intercity rider — The 21-litre tank and claimed 19.4 kmpl efficiency give it a theoretical range of roughly 400 km between refuelling stops.
Worth knowing
- · The ₹8.48–8.63 lakh ex-showroom price rises to published on-road figures of ₹9.74–10.93 lakh depending on city.
- · At 218 kg kerb weight and 840 mm width, it is a substantial motorcycle for dense Indian city use.
- · Our owner-rating figure is 3.5/5 from 177 owner ratings, so ownership satisfaction is solid but not exceptional.
