Kawasaki Versys-X 300

The design of the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 resembles to that of its elder siblings like the Versys 650 and the Versys 1000. The front end of the motorcycle gets a triangular headlamp with a tall windscreen that protects the rider from windblasts at high speeds and mud during off-roading. The overall design is proportionate and no nonsense type but it somewhere lacks that character especially when its rivals come into the picture.

The riding position offered by the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is quite upright which is ideal for the long distances and off-roading. The footpegs are neither too forward nor too backward and this, coupled to the upright handlebar makes sure that the rider stays relaxed throughout the ride.

The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 sources its power from a 296cc, parallel twin engine mated to a six-speed gearbox. The engine is good for shedding out a maximum power output of 39 bhp while the peak torque output is rated at 26 Nm. Gearbox is a six-speed unit.

The gearbox on the Kawasaki Versys X-300 is a six-speed unit that sends power to the rear wheel. The shifting pattern of this transmission is one-down, five-up.

The braking on the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is done with the help of a 290mm disc brake up front along with a 220mm disc brake at the rear. A dual-channel ABS is offered as standard to offer added safety and convenience. The motorcycle also comes with auxiliary lights to offer extra illumination in the dark and path less travelled.

The Kawasaki Versys X-300 returns a fuel efficiency of 35 kmpl and comes fitted with a fuel tank having 17 litre capacity. That said, the bike offers a range of close to 600 km once you fully fill up the tank which is quite decent for touring.
