- Hello fellow riders,
in my humble opinion, the Versys 650 is made for exactly what you see in this video!
Twisties & Gravel or "any road, any time".
Enjoy and ride safe!

What tires are you using? I have michelin road 6 and am scared of gravel. Blessings
Hi Monk,
I'm currently using Continental TKC 70s - they work really good on tarmac and gravel for me, as I'm not riding extreme in any condition.
But I also had a set of Michelin Road 6 a while ago. The MR6 is a fantastic road tire (better than the TKC70) and Gravel Roads shouldn't be a Problem, as long as you're not going too fast- especially around corners.
Cheers
@@GoodWeatherRider Ok cool! I might consider those in the future. I was out of motorbiking for a long time and figured I better go all road for now. Looks like here in US they are called TKC 70 Rock. I had a terrible time on gravel with my Road 6's a while back but it was pretty fresh n chunky gravel. I'll give em another try someday :) Thanks so much for the info!
The TKC70 Rocks is a bit different, compared to the "normal" TKC 70.
The front tire is the same but the rear tire of the rocks is a bit more offroad focused - with less expected mileage. If you just google "tkc70 vs tkc70 rocks" you can see the difference. But I'm not sure about the availability in the US.
However, have a great ride and don't ride too fast on gravel :-)
@@GoodWeatherRider Great info! It would be great to find a tire as "Versatile" as you know who... I still haven't really tried out the long travel suspension. One of my favorite things to do on a KLR 650 was to aim for potholes...thats 7.8 in travel vs the versys at nearly 6 in. I think ill get braver as it gets closer to being paid for hah
Is that an aftermarket windscreen?
Yes, it's the Puig Touring Screen
