Kawasaki Versys-X 250 is an enduro-tourer: tall stance, long-travel suspension, a bigger tank. It's built for riders planning to do more than stick to the asphalt — for exploring the island's side roads. View the Kawasaki Versys-X 250 in our catalog.

What owners say: real-world fuel economy at a relaxed pace up to 105 km/h runs about 27-30 km/l (independently confirmed by Bali rental operators too — around 3-4 L/100km), which with a 17-liter tank gives a very solid range between fill-ups. Off-road capability isn't just marketing: in one early test ride the bike confidently powered through thick mud without the suspension bottoming out once. The stock seat is firm out of the box and needs some breaking in. The bike feels most comfortable in the 80-110 km/h range. Real Bali renters report it handled the ride out to a remote mountain village without issue, and that the manual-gearbox version performed great on a rainy trip to the north of the island. Ready-made routes recommended by the rental operators themselves: south Bali — Ubud — Kintamani; the mountain roads of the north; the east coast out to Amed and Tulamben.
Who it's for: multi-day island touring, and anyone who wants confidence on dirt or broken roads. Detailed routes are in our blog articles: "East Bali by Bike," "Kintamani: Sunrise at Mount Batur," "Bedugul — Munduk — Lovina."
Where it shines on Bali: longer routes — Kintamani, the north and east of the island (including Amed and Tulamben), side roads off the main tourist routes.
