Kawasaki Versys X 300 ADV spotted testing in India

The Versys X 300 will compete with the KTM 390 Adventure and BMW G 310 GS.

The Kawasaki Versys X 300 has been spotted testing in India for the first time. The adventure bike was seen on the streets of Pune and could be launched in the near future.

The Kawasaki Versys X 300 looks like a typical adventure tourer. It has a distinct fairing with a single-pod headlamp and a tall windscreen. The bike has a single-piece stepped seat and raised handlebars. 

The Versys X 300 is expected to be powered by a 296cc, parallel-twin engine shared with the Ninja 300. In the Ninja, this motor is tuned to produce 39 BHP and 26.1 Nm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. We can expect the Versys X 300 to get a bespoke tune. 

Spy images suggest that the India-spec Versys X 300 will be equipped with a conventional telescopic fork and a monoshock at the rear. The brake setup will consist of disc brakes at both ends supported by dual-channel ABS. 

The Kawasaki Versys X 300 will compete with the KTM 390 Adventure and BMW G 310 GS, among others.
