The way my 390 is currently set up, it is very close to what I want from a motorcycle today. Some mods:

Mate, we deserve pictures for this Mod. Can you please share some.

Autocar India review is out, and they really dont approve of it - specially with the price tag.

Hey! Nice to see you got the spacers and the risers done on your bike!

How long are your spacers? Have you modded the side stand as well?

None - as per the information we have in Versys groups. There are only two known owners - one of them from Bangalore, and I've interacted with him earlier when he was looking to purchase a V650.

Sales figures tell the same story too -

Jan 2018 - 1 unit.
Feb 2018 - 0 units.

Autopunditz does not have the information about Dec 2017, but since the first delivery in India happened on 23rd of December only - we can be pretty sure that the number is somewhere close to the above figures. Its a nice little machine, but the price seems to have ensured its DOA.

That's even worse than the Inazuma. It would be unwise to buy at this stage then. Spares will be a problem.

Yes - better! Hold on - atleast till Kawasaki introduces the bike without accessories.

Trust me - you get much better accessories aftermarket at far lesser prices. Not to mention, adding them to the ex-showroom means that you are paying road tax and insurance etc on the accessories price too!

Quite a strange co-incidence a news article came up today - "Absurdly Priced Versys 300 Sells Only 2 Units in 4 Months: What is Kawasaki’s Ploy?"

https://bikeadvice.in/kawasaki-versy...sales-pricing/

They credit the info to SIAM.

Anyways, some more digging around revealed that four known owners are there till date. First one delivered in Pune in December, second and third in Mumbai and fourth in Bangalore.

This is hardly surprising. I was looking forward to the bike. But after they announced the pricing, I did not even bother to go to the showroom to check the bike out.
Now if they launch Versys 400 at this price, I will definitely be interested.

No chance - Not released anywhere yet. I feel they might launch a version without accessories at around 4L ex showroom.

Might be waiting for the BMW 310GS launch to see how they price it out. Remember Kawasaki did this strategy against Triumph Street Triple 765 with their Z900.
