Motosikal Dan Enjin Nasional Sdn. Bhd. (MODENAS), a subsidiary of DRB-HICOM Berhad, is pleased to announce the release of two exciting models: the 2024 MODENAS Versys 650 SE.
With limited units available, the new MODENAS Versys 650 SE is the ultimate touring companion, equipped with a 56-litre quick-release pannier system that offers ample storage for long getaways while preserving the bike’s dual-purpose capabilities. A hassle-free feature, the panniers use the same key as the ignition, eliminating the need for a separate key. It is a true plug-and-play model, making it convenient for riders.
The panniers are designed to accommodate most full-face helmets and attach seamlessly to the handgrips and footrests. When removed, they provide a sleek, sporty appearance. With a mounting width of 93 cm, the bike remains ideal for high-speed cruising.
Available exclusively in Malaysia, this special edition retains the proven performance of the previous model, powered by a 649cc parallel-twin engine that delivers smooth power for both city commutes and long-distance touring.
“This special edition model reflects our commitment to delivering motorcycles with enhanced functionality,” said Yusaku Kashiwagi, Chief Marketing Officer of MODENAS. “With added storage and touring capabilities, the MODENAS Versys 650 SE is the perfect companion for riders seeking both adventure and practicality.”
The Versys 650 is one of Kawasaki’s long-running model since 2007, when it replaced the KLE500. It has gone through several updates since. The engine is shared among the Ninja 650R/ER-6f/Ninja 650 and ER-6n/Z650. The lineup for Malaysia is currently being assembled in Gurun, Kedah, and rebadged as MODENAS.
There are two colour variants, namely Metallic Spark Black (RM43,600.00) and Candy Lime Green/Metallic Flat Spark Black (RM44,200.00).
