Kawasaki Versys X-300
Kawasaki is reportedly working on bringing the Kawasaki Versys X-300 to India. This time the bike will be heavily localized, like the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Kawasaki W175. This will likely make the bike more affordable than before, but will it really make a difference? Here’s what we think.

Incredible breaking system and emergency stops, also expireneced the free handle module to get gaps while driving, also torck capacity little bit, rest is everything is fine. The battery power may decrease when the vehicle is parked outdoors or during rainy weather, so proper care is necessary. The mileage is good and excellent overall.Read More
Excellent scooter with bike like performance. Hasn't given me any issues. Still less than a year old and only 10k driven and has a 5 year insurance too. A really good scooter for both leisure and work commutes. Tyres are almost brand new and really good fuel economy too. Everyone should buy this one.Read More

2024 mein li thi yeh bike, ab 18,000+ km chal chuki hai. Highway, ghat, off-road, city – har jagah leke gaya hoon. Engine 39 bhp ka lagta hai chhota par actual mein bohot refined hai, 400-500 km aaram se nikal jaati hai (28-32 kmpl real mileage). Seat thoda hard hai 300+ km ke baad thakan lagti hai, Suspension adventure bike jaisa kaam karta hai. Ground clearance. Brakes decent hain, dual-channel ABS bacha leta hai emergency mein. Cons bhi hain – 6th gear mein 100-120 ke upar thoda vibration aata hai Stock tyres (Metzeler) off-road mein slip kar jaate hain. Service cost thoda high hai Kawasaki ka. Par overall ₹4 - 5 lakh on-road mein jo package milta hai – looks, touring capability, reliability – us hisaab se full paisa vasool bike hai. Agar aap beginner ho ya weekend mein long rides karte ho aur ek lightweight adventure tourer chahte ho, toh dil se recommend karunga.Read More
