The Versys is one of those machines that exceeds

the sum of its parts. Its name, derived from “vertex”

(Latin for pinnacle, summit, top) and “system,”

hints at its goal of offering a truly superior platform

that maximizes fun in any number of street riding

situations. One ride is all it takes to confirm that

the Versys delivers on its any-street promise.
