2022 Kawasaki Versys 650

Two new 2022 models from Kawasaki at the Milan show: the Versys 650 and the H2 SX SE. The Versys gets a restyled set of bodywork, with a larger Versys 1000-style top fairing, new four-way adjustable windscreen and a new full colour 4.3” TFT LCD dash. Kawasaki’s also given the 650 Versys a new traction control setup. The 2022 Versys 650 will be available in three colours, Metallic spark black/metallic flat spark black, Metallic phantom silver/metallic flat spark black/metallic spark black and Candy lime green/metallic flat spark/ metallic spark black.

The other new model is the supercharged H2 SX sport-tourer, which now has an optional radar package, which adds two radar sensors to the rider aids package. The front radar enables a smart ‘adaptive’ cruise control setup, so the H2 SX can maintain a set distance from the vehicle in front without any rider input – ideal for long motorway trips, especially through average-speed camera zones.

The rear BSD Blind Spot Detection radar is a sort of tail-end Charlie warning system, which scans the blind spots behind you. If a vehicle comes up behind you and is out of mirror view, the radar picks it up and the ECU flashes a light in the rearview mirror on the same side as the following vehicle. The system is common on cars, but is new for bike use.
