Of course my main ride is a Multistrada, which also has unique view from the front.

Keeping in mind that the term "unique" is quite often used as a synonym for ugly.  I also have a "unique" headlight/tailight setup on my ZZR1200.

0 problems so far. Only 2500 miles though. The bike is a lot of fun and so easy to ride. no regrets. bete.

750 miles of grins so far. I find the handlebars a little buzzy at 4500 RPM while cruising in 6th, but my hands don't go numb or anything. It is a sweeeet bike. Today I got 57 MPG! That was all highway, mixed riding I get around 46-48.

I am seriously considering one of these to be my daily commuter. A three piece GIVI setup.....I think it would be a tough combo to beat.

Ok heres the only thing I have found of note,the is a versys forum over in europe,on there the are a couple of reports of frame tabs cracking on the right sside of the engine on some Versys and on the ninja 650,seems the spacing (according to the posters) between the engine and the frame mounting tab is too large and it results in the bolt being over torqued puling on the tab too hard causing a crack heres a link to an explination and a pic of the incident,a couple of others said they had cracks also

Don't know if this is widespread but you may want to check

To my understanding this is on 07 and earlyer bikes, slight frame change in mid 07 to address this. bete.
