Three years ago, after 15 years in Phuket, moved to my wife’s village in NE, sold the boat. At 72 bought a 300X, three years later and 57,000kms later, loving it exploring Thailand, best move ever. Main positive finding, I can drop it, which I have done when off-roading, and can pick it up again without extra help.
Love to see how other people totally utilize the full capabilities of this bike. So many of us in the US forget it's not "all or nothing" for bike performance. The VX300 is a small "Adventure Bike", so will never replace the true dual sport or dirt bikes. But that doesn't mean it can't tackle some truly challenging terrain - it simply means we have to be more conservative when we ride. I love my VX300 and wouldn't trade it for the world. It's light enough for my 5'4" self to pick up, sits short enough that I can get my toes on the ground, is powerful enough to go up rough hills, and is fast enough to keep up with interstate traffic. It's not the best at any one of these, but is the best at being a well-rounded small bike. This video does it justice! Look forward to watching more of Half Mag adventures.
Loved the video ! I’ll be getting one this spring . I’m 80 yrs. old ,been riding for 64 years , and been waiting for this bike since I started riding . I sold my XT250 & 1800 Goldwing last year .
Jim.. I'll be selling my CRF250L and grabbing this bike in the spring as well. I hope I can ride it until I'm 80 - John Paquette.
Hey Jim, I'm 70 and recently bought one. Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying both on and off the pavement. I strongly suggest putting on some 50/50 tires. I love hearing from guys that are older than me. You are my gauge and inspiration.
Awesome guys. I am age 67 and have a number of bikes yet but am very impressed with the videos and what I have read on the Versys 300. Keep on riding fellas. God Bless you.
My 67 years is not alone! Been many miles coast to coast & Canada on my trusty ST. Saw this little guy at the dealer, sits nice, and suddenly I want it. Salesman looked at me like "why do you want that toy"? I think because I sometimes miss my KLR and it just screams fun.
wow why did you sell your xt 250 ?
Yea, good girl! I really like my X-300 Versys also!
Street only, lots of modifications and yes freedom at 68 years old.
This old man does not need 80 HP, rev it, loves 7-9 grand, have fun!
Great video!
Thanks!
looked like Mars ,,, Good riding ,, Australia
Fantastic journey and fantastic bike, I want to buy one kawasaki versys x 300 to make a travel from Colombia to Chile, now I see this small bike can do this travel without problems, thanks for the video.
I just bought the 300 versys 2 weeks ago.
Now I need to get a drivers license.
Haha, Me too.
Greets from Germany
I did the same thing and bought my bike after motorcycle safety course. I went to DMV to take my written exam, and on my way in a CHP officer told me "You better pass that test or your not riding out of the parking lot" sure enough he was waiting outside and I showed him my new temporary license and he just smiled. Of all bikes I've owned my 2012 650 Versys is the best!
One of the best motorcycle videos I've seen. Love that Versys X300. Great riding too!
wow , your video just gave me another reason to love this machine
Loved your video. Good to see what the Versys can do. I'm having a blast with mine.
What a great vid.. many thanks! I was thinking about a trip to Morocco, this has convinced me to go!
Beautiful footage! Congrats! This video makes me want more this versys for offroad adventures. 👊👏
Video stupendo, viaggio magnifico e moto favolosa. Grazie !
Veramente bello aviagiare in moto ......❤
Great video.
I sold my bikes because I thought I was to old ! Big mistake. I took my bike to an upholstery shop and they did my seat to my requirements-$80 . I also added Mosko Moto 40 soft bags , a skid plate, Bark Busters , with shorty levers. I’ll change the tires to more aggressive when they’re more worn down. I recently returned from a 1000 mi. trip and have to say, I love it! I’m sure the xt250 will outperform it in the dirt , but this bike is better for the highway . I also added crash bars , aux. lights & a electric reception plug .
Loved it .. i ve been riding for 20yrs now ..now feel to ride more ..age dsnt matter ..
Congratulations for the trip! very cool!
Awesome bike..little engine but with great potentiality...well done Kawasaki, i love YOU.
good job! nice lightweight bike and amazing scenery.
I’ve got a Versys 1000, amazing bike but the 300 looks like handling an powerfull. The girl can ride it very well. Great video ! Go Kawasaki !
Outstanding video!
Excelentes lugares y excelente comportamiento de la Kawasaki Versys en off road, felicitaciones, saludos desde Argentina.
The 300X is a flat out awesome bike folks...love my '17!!
Just bought one can’t wait to take it on an adventure!!
1:50 clear point for the versys x300, an average thin woman could drop it and lift it with control, case closed, you can't do that as easily with your 650's, let alone the 1200+.
Young lady needs to lift it properly - get a hernia like the old men. Do it right - and it won't fight. You can look it up!
Also clear point you don't need a fortune to be happy traveling on your bike.
Great video, thank you. I plan to ride to Morroco soon :)
Amazing scenery and good to know lil Versys can do it
Spettacolo, aspetto il prossimo video, buon vento
Fabulous! Really gorgeous film.
Really nice to watch!
Bellissime riprese e spettacolare avventura. Ho anch'io la piccola Kawa è una divertente moto molto versatile ... complimenti.
video stupendo, mi iscrivo volentieri ;)
Beautiful!!!
I definitely buy this bike ..thanks for the video
Jejejeje, nice GPS. Great video, greetings!
Hoo. Me encata esta video. Todo lo que implicó hacerlo
I got a Versys-X 300 back in October because I was disgusted with trying to handle my Tiger 800XCA off-road. This little bike is AWESOME!! Don't let it's appearance or lack of suspension travel fool you. This thing is a beast off-road. Just give the suspension about 500-600 miles to soften up and you'll be set. Until then, it's a bit harsh.
BTW, what music is that on the video? I really like it!
Rob G Thanks for the info on the suspension. But how do you find the seat? I 've heard it is extremely hard.
I ride this bike for a year, love it. The seats are a bit harder than the similar bikes in this range, but it only hurts when you have a very long ride. You can always get an after marker soft support for the seat. A light adventure style bike is the one that you are looking for the off-road.
how's the versys doing?
Nice video! Thanks!!
perfect video!!!!!
Lovely vid really.
Un sueño hecho realidad!!
spectacular video, I went from Brazil to USA with a versyz x 300. One day I want to clear in Morocco on motorcycle
How did it go? I'm planning a trip to Alaska from Argentina with a versys 300 also, but I'm not sure if it's a good motorcycle for that.
A dream travel! 👍🏼
Cool & suitable for touring, with a 300 cc engine capacity including lightweight, compared to the 1000 version or BMW GS 1200 Adventure. Of course this motorbike becomes more fuel efficient and can reduce the cost of long trips.
Gooood video! I wanna buy this KAWASAKI
espectacular!
Muy bellos lugares yo vive en Chile en la segunda region en el desierto de atacama los paisajes sin muy similares y tengo una versys 300 la moto se comporta muy bien .
Excellent, like!!
Got one great bike 👍👍
So cool to have a women like this
Nices adventure 😍👍
Versys 300x😍😍😍 my dream bike...

Versysなんちゃってアドベンチャーとか言われてるけどこれ見ると十分アドベンチャー出来るバイクなの分かる！
Fantastici. Sono curioso di conoscere questa moto. Mi piace
Extraordinário!

I like this motorcycle more and more every day
nice!! i have versys x 300 black in brasil!!!
Great video! Besides the tires, did you make any modifications to make it more offroad capable?
Qualquer dia desses faço uma viagem dessas.....
The Versys held up well? Awesome video!
Ciao ragazzi complimenti per l avventura fatta....vorrei chiedervi un consiglio sulla moto....la versys 300 e adatta anche a fare qualche viaggietto con zavorrina...con la mia fidanzata o dovrei orientarmi su qualche cilindrata maggiore...grazie
Hy !!!! Can you tell me the brand and model of your tires?
класс версус бомба мот
Kawasaki 💎
Love tour trip. Possible to share tours tracks Thank's
Such great sceanery.. Im new to advernture bikes.. thought of getting a bnelli trk 251.. but know im rethinking of versys.. 🤔 anyway mayy i know name of the piano score.. thank you
Nice video. What tires you use in this trip? I have also x300 and want to by some off road tires .
Awesome. What tires did the versy have?
Great video! So what's the Versys300 like as a lite weight adventure bike? Strongly considering up-grading to one. Sub your channel. Look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing. Well done.
Que bien se comporta en Ripio!!! ¿Que cubiertas llevan?
Do you think the crash bars are really necessary ?
Sarà la Mia prossima moto da viaggio probabilmente.
Che velocità si riescono a tenere di media?
Which tires did you use on this trip?
❤❤❤❤❤
How do you maintain the chain over this sandy terrain?
soooo jealous....
Very good come to dasht Kavir in Iran my team ride invented you.....
De cuantos kilómetros recorridos estamos hablando???
Wow! Anything this bike can't do?
Ciao, metteresti il tragitto che hai fatto? Sarebbe interessante poterlo prendere in considerazione
What's the stark difference between versys 250 and 300😭Only the 250 non ABS available in Malaysia 😓😤
ไช่เลยสุดแล้วในคลาสเล็ก
Can u put knobbies on the bike?
Beware ( I have a versys ) the 300 engine is very thrashy, I hate it but it performs well but need ear plugs.
Versys300x or royal enfilend Himalayan.Which one better?
Huseyin Zara consider cost , repair cost , dealer locations , longevity and I think you will be choosing the x300
Enjoyed your video. Really like the Versys. I'm only 1.72metres tall. Will I struggle with the seat height?
iniakpmarc28
I have the Versys X and have no problem with the seat height. I am 1.74 m tall.
I have a 29” inseam & no problem with seat height .
so, did the versys x come with lowering kit?
Vorrei fare la stessa cosa, da Genova con la nave!

She must have great legs standing and riding .
No spare tyres?
The tyres have tubes. Why spare tyre then?
I thought it had tubeless ones. :o
Is that a G 650? I wonder which bike is the one you guys enjoy riding the most between those 2.
Peter D i haven't seen a 1200 GS in person, and it didn't look gigantic to me, so that's why i thought it was a smaller GS.
By the way, I've become the owner of a Versys x300 :D i love that bike.
how many km with the fuel consumption?
full tank 17 l around 300 driving normally
More like 400/450
@@lorenzopedrotti7471 Depends on the road profile and riding style. This bike is great in my book.
@@bebbuinc7611 that was my average consumption. On perfect pavement
@@lorenzopedrotti7471 accurate assumption
I kept telling people they don't need the versys 1000 or 650 the 300 is good enough hell. Revzilla made it to Alaska on 125cc honda monkeys lol
A trip in Morocco in less than 5 minutes?! WTF
Why is she always standing?
Cause u Know, Off road attitude >:D I have a dual sport. And I stand on the pegs like 1% of the time Im riding. But everytime someone comes with a camera on their head, they are standing on the pegs haha
because it's easier to control the bike like that in sand and dirt
Versys 300 or gs 310gs
Kyle _Baldock versys hands down BMW comes up short on the power.
Versys 300 is a beast from factory. You need Rally Raid conversion kits for the 310GS.
