The Kawasaki Versys 650 - Why we chose them for the Philippines Loop and what we like about them.
In this video, we dive into why we chose the Kawasaki Versys 650 motorcycles for our Philippines loop trip and discuss all the essential gear and items we packed for the journey. We break down the features of the Versys 650 that make it perfect for long-distance travel, some of the differences between the 2020 and 2023 models, and how we each kitted out our bikes. We also explain the helmets we chose and why, and which communication systems we decided on.
