I did some quick searches on this bike. It's already been released in Europe. I'm not sure what niche Kawy is trying to fill. I found no mention of this as a off-pavement bike by the Kaw boys.. Youtube has all sorts of video clips, again no clips of the versys off pavement. Maybe it's marketed as a naked bike for urban use? Looks like a Buell wannabe.

It will be more compentition for the tiger market than the vstrom market. Smaller front wheel and all makes it even less of an adventure bike than the vstrom.

Yeah, the 120/17 and 160/17 tire sizes are way too limited for any off highway adventures. I can't think of a 'dual' use tire that comes in those sizes. Scorpion Sync's maybe?
