Intro

Kawasaki India is offering a limited-time Rs 20,000 cashback voucher on the Versys 650, which is redeemable at dealerships and directly reduces the final ex-showroom cost for buyers. The limited-period offer is a strategic move to boost sales ahead of potential price hikes, which are expected due to a new GST tax structure on bikes above 350cc.

Why this offer matters

• The Rs 20,000 is a cashback voucher redeemable against the ex-showroom price of the Versys 650, reducing the upfront cost without changing the variant mix.
• Valid till September 30 or while stocks last, it’s for buyers who want to get a quote before prices harden post month.
• While the ex-showroom price is ₹7.93 lakh, the on-road price can cross the ₹9 lakh mark in metros like Delhi and Mumbai. The Rs 20,000 cashback, therefore, provides a meaningful reduction on the total cost of ownership.

How to get the Rs 20,000 discount

• Check with local Kawasaki dealers; cashback is applicable against ex-showroom price on billing.
• Confirm city specific on-road components (insurance add-ons, RTO fees) to see the net benefit on the final invoice.
• Ask for any accessory bundles or service offers that can be stacked if available during the offer period.

Competition

• Triumph Tiger Sport 660 has more power and premium brand at a higher price.
• Moto Morini X-Cape 650 is cheaper in some trims but dealer network and long term support may be a deciding factor.
• Versys 650 has proven reliability, easy to learn, and comfortable ergonomics for daily use and weekend rides.

Closing note

A Rs 20,000 cashback won’t rewrite segment math, but it meaningfully softens the entry point to a proven, comfortable tourer just as prices could edge up. For riders planning a festive-season ride plan, this is a neat window to secure a dependable all-rounder with a bit more value baked in.
