Is the Kawasaki Versys 650 a good first motorcycle? Would it make a good beginner bike? I've owned my Versys for over a year now and put thousands of miles on it. I often get asked, "is the Versys a good first bike?" The answer is not a simple "yes" or "no."
A good first motorcycle should really do two things: it should be beginner-friendly and not intimidating in terms of power, maneuverability, and ease of handling but it should hopefully also be a bike that is powerful enough to keep you from wanting to upgrade to another motorcycle as soon as you've gained some confidence with it. The Kawasaki Versys 650 is a good bike for beginners because it has fun, manageable power, but it's also tall and that can be a bit unwieldy for new motorcycle riders.
Ultimately, the best answer I can give to the question "is the versys 650 good for beginners" is "mostly." I'd give it a 7/10. It can be a very good first bike if you're aware of its unique characteristics and are careful as you ride a motorcycle as a beginner.
