With limited units available, the new 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’s 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 Versys 650 SE is the perfect companion for riders seeking both adventure and practicality."

The Kawasaki Z900RS SE is a captivating blend of timeless styling and modern engineering. Paying homage to the iconic Z1, this motorcycle captures the spirit of old-school bikes while seamlessly integrating contemporary features.
Notably, it features an Öhlins S46 rear shock—a hallmark of quality construction—that enhances grip and contributes to a suppler ride feel. The front suspension has been fine-tuned to complement the new rear shock, and a remote preload adjuster allows easy customization for tandem riding or luggage. Eye-catching gold-colored fork outer tubes match the Öhlins rear shock, adding to the bike’s allure.
And when it comes to stopping power, the Z900RS SE doesn’t disappoint: it boasts ø300 mm Brembo front discs and M4.32 radial-mount monobloc calipers. Whether you appreciate heritage or crave performance, the Z900RS SE is a standout choice for riders who seek authenticity and excellence on the road.
