Ride with Rusty and Marshall as they take 2 Kawasaki Versys-X 300s into the foothills of the Rockies. Watch for rattlesnakes (we will show you).

I have one of these, I love it. Just put ear plugs in and give it good flogging. Easily keeps up with all the other bigger bikes on club rides. Funny thing is I have 6 other bikes, right up to a GL1800, but if I’m looking for fun I take the Versys.

I bought an X300 brand new in 2018. I've thought about selling it every year since, but then I make the mistake of riding it... Btw if you'd like to take the rpm's down just a little at higher speeds check out the front sprocket mod.

There is a reason Kawasaki made a light weight version. They are FUN!

What a cracking little bike to mess about on. I found a 2018 with full hard cases for £3599.

Had my Versey x300 for about 2 months and just passed the breaking point and had the first oil change. I have to say this little bike is a gem, took it off road up in the Sierra foothills, my brother on a Husquavarna 701, was surprised how well my little Kawa did. Fun bike, and so versatile, stock tires handled okay, but with some 50/50 it would hamdle way better.

I run shinko big blocks, 804-805, they hold up well and take me far and wide on state/secondary-service roads thru creeks and mud just fine and are still okay on pavement/blacktop....

I live in the Endless Mountain range, and my versys 300 is my mountain goat, compared to my trail bike-xt 225 this is a beast, has similar power band as my drz400se i got rid of due to seat and height,,,,,

I have owned two KLR 650s in the past. I do currently own two KLX 300s. I believe the Versys X300 is much more offroad capable than the KLR. I do sometimes wish I had the spare money to buy and mod one.

Great vid! For riding those type of dirt roads, how would rate it vs the Honda scl500 scrambler? Both twins, bit more power on the Honda?

Well, it's two different bikes. The Versus feels lower, but you have to wring it out to get anywhere quick. The Scrambler won't be wrung out in the same way. The Versys will be comfortable on longer rides.

I switched to an Insta360 Ace Pro. You can quick charge it, you can read files right from the unit, you can see your sound level on the screen, and it doesn't easily flip to photo mode when you really wanted video. Hasn't locked up yet. I just put the fuzzies on it yesterday to stop the wind noise for future videos.

You still need a Purple Panda mic and the adapter it comes with to talk to the mic adapter for the Ace Pro (sold separately but not as stupid expensive as the GoPro adapter).

There's a Versys X in green at Interstate Honda in Fort Collins Colorado, if you happen to be local. They didn't have a price on it yet though. They are a fun bike that won't break the bank.
