2016 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT
A new model last year, the Kawasaki Versys 650 LT returns unchanged for 2106. That’s no problem as the LT is a highly competent light-duty touring bike with a bit of adventure capabilities.
The 28-liter hard bags, which turn the standard Versys 650 into an LT, have a quick-release feature that makes the bags easy to load and take into a hotel room. The torquey motor is capable on the Interstate, while the Ninja-based chassis does well in the twisties.
