Included in Kawasaki’s roster of refreshed models for the 2024 model-year are its popular adventure and dual-sport series in the form of the Versys lineup, as well as the rugged and dependable KLR 650 range. For 2024, Team Green has retained the bikes’ performance features and underpinnings, but has given them mild updates in styling and design. Let’s take a closer look at each one.
Kicking things off with the Versys-X 300, this model is the smallest of Kawasaki’s adventurers in the North American market, and is powered by the same 296cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine found in the now-discontinued Ninja 300. The Versys-X 300 keeps things simple and functional with a low saddle height ensuring accessibility to a wide range of riders, a tall windscreen for wind protection on the highway, and a practical luggage rack at the back. It’s offered in Pearl Matte Sage Green / Metallic Matte Carbon Gray, and is priced at $6,199.
