Entropy, I have the Versys and overall it's a nice bike. I find it a little bland and am looking to sell mine but it's reliable and a friendly, easy ride. It'll go anywhere and do anything but doesn't try to excel at any one thing. I'm 6' with a 32" inseam and find it a bit tall to get on and off comfortably, though the height is nice around town in traffic. My torso is straight up when I ride...for some reason it makes me feel like a nerdy librarian. 
I also find the wind buffeting from the stock windshield just terrible. Two aftermarket shields I tried are a bit better but I'm happiest with no windshield at all. If you're looking at the Versys, I'd definitely recommend checking out the V-Strom as it's similar but perhaps a better ride. (Unless you want to buy my 2011 Versys, then you should definitely go with the Versys, lol!)
