The Versys 650 LT is the touring-equipped version of the 2017 Versys 650, fitted with colour-matched 28-litre quick-release saddlebags, hand guards and passenger grips that take the bags. Its rear subframe is strengthened so an optional top case can be fitted. The engine and chassis are the same as the base 650 with ABS.
