History
I had so much fun with my 2019 Versys 650 ABS in the Philippines, while on my annual vacations there.
I had to add one to my stable in California too!
I had planned on buying another new 2019 model. But, I saw this lightly used mint 2017 Versys 650 on Cycle Trader, the deal was too good to pass up. Purchased used LNIB in stock condition with 4,100 miles @ Sept. 2019.
Let the mods begin!
