It was a Kawasaki Versys, something I haven't see before. It is quite cheap, seems to have had OK reviews, and may fit the bill for those folks wanting a Tiger 675 before Triumph finally comes around and builds one.
I asked the young sales - using the term loosely - person if he knew what the displacement was. He said he didn't know what the displacement was, but he did know it was a "650"......... I won't be going there for advice!
Hey Bill
Get on Advrider.com under the "Beasts" you will find mucho postings on the Versys. Very popular.
Good luck
Jim
