Kawasaki Versys 650 On-Road Price in Chennai (2026)
The on-road price of Kawasaki Versys 650 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu is ₹9,75,253 for the 2026 model. Here's the complete breakdown of what goes into that figure:
Ex-showroom price: ₹8,63,000 This is the base price set by Kawasaki India - it's the same across all dealers in India and doesn't include any state taxes, registration, or insurance.
Road Tax (RTO): ₹69,040 Tamil Nadu charges 8% road tax on premium motorcycles. This is a one-time payment at the time of registration and is non-refundable. Road tax rates vary significantly by state - Tamil Nadu is among the states where you need to factor this in carefully when calculating your total cost.
Insurance charges: ₹39,713 Third-party insurance is mandatory in India. The Kawasaki Versys 650 attracts a third-party premium of ₹15,117 and an own-damage (comprehensive) premium of approximately ₹24,596. Most buyers opt for both - it's strongly recommended for a bike at this price point, especially given the cost of genuine Kawasaki spare parts.
Dealer/handling charges: ₹3,500 This covers PDI (pre-delivery inspection), documentation, number plate fabrication, and dealer handling. Rs 3,500 is standard across most Kawasaki dealerships in India.
Total on-road price in Chennai: ₹9,75,253
If you're financing the Kawasaki Versys 650, your effective monthly outgo will depend on your down payment and loan tenure. A 20% down payment (approx Rs 1,72,600 on the ex-showroom price) with a 36-month loan at around 10% interest works out to approximately Rs 21,000-24,000 per month, depending on the processing fees your financier charges.
Kawasaki Financial Services and most nationalised and private banks offer two-wheeler loans on this model. Pre-approved loan offers are often available for salaried buyers with good CIBIL scores.

Buying tips for Chennai, Tamil Nadu:
Once you have your on-road price of ₹9,75,253, here's how to get the best deal in Chennai:
- Negotiate on accessories, not price: ex-showroom pricing is fixed by Kawasaki India and dealers rarely offer direct discounts on the bike. Instead, push for free accessories - a tank bag, hand guards, or Kawasaki-branded riding gear - these add Rs 5,000-15,000 of value.
- Check for state-level subsidy schemes: Tamil Nadu may have EV-transition or green fuel incentives that occasionally apply to E20-compliant bikes. Ask your dealer specifically.
- Festival timing: Kawasaki India typically runs exchange bonuses and zero-processing-fee finance schemes during Navratri, Diwali, and year-end clearance in December. If your purchase isn't urgent, timing it right can save Rs 5,000-15,000.
- Insurance: don't accept the default comprehensive insurance quote from the dealer. Third-party is mandatory and non-negotiable, but for own-damage, compare quotes from HDFC Ergo, Bajaj Allianz, and ICICI Lombard - you can often save Rs 3,000-6,000 on the OD premium by buying directly online.
