I have enjoyed all your videos on the Versys. Very valuable and informative. You were going to do a clip on riding in slow moving traffic, stop/start. 1) So, how is the bike in town traffic? 2) How is the first gear throttle response? 3) How is the balance? Your perspective is appreciated.
Thanks for good comments. In town bike is good. It is not too wide like most adventure bikes. It is not heavy with a good steering angle. Seating high, so you can see above the traffic. Without side paniers you will be able to filter with no problems at all. At first I felt like the throttle is jerky, but now I don't feel it any longer. The balance is also good, one of the best bike I have ridden.
How would it handle 2up touring fully loaded?
Yes, will handle it with ease.
I drive with the givi screen, much more higher than the standard and the standard makes to much noice, hot weather no any screen.😊
Thanks - enjoying your versys content. Thinking of getting one when/if I pass my test ;-)
@@bumpyroads-uk Thanks Mate, good luck with your test 👍
Check out Peugeot windshields. I have one it ti much bigger the OEM screen.
Check the handlebar mount 4screws are tight.
Traction control 2 good for city, setting 1 general use , small wheelies , no traction control big wheelies , bike is fast out of corners.
You are riding a restricted model ?
It’s not revving past 7000 rpm?
No, it is not restricted. It is just me being gentle with it 🙂
Why?are you breaking it in or you are a new rider?@@thewayofvad
