'14 Versys now w/ABS Standard, $7999

[Rincewind]

The US version of the Versys will now get ABS standard for 2014.  It is good to see that Kawasaki has finally made this change in the US market.  I think it better competes now with the Vstrom 650 and the Triumph & BMW models.  

What's more - MSRP is the same as last year's non-ABS model, remaining at $7999.   This is undercutting the Vstrom 650 ABS by $500.  It is also practically the same price as the new Yamaha FZ-09, though that bike is lacking ABS for the US market.

Sick deal

Nice, and they brought back the green.

Yes, I like the green, too.  But it's not all green like before -- it is "candy lime green/ebony" (the tank is black).  

[camaroz1985]

Yeah I saw that.  The black tank doesn't look as bad here as it does on some of them.  The Ninja 300 for example in white, looks very out of place.

Things are very interesting in the middleweight bike category.
