Goshawk, I'm in your age range and sold my Stelvio for exactly the same reason. About a month ago I got to ride a new Ninja 400 while at Daytona bike week. That engine was delightfully smooth and quick. As with any small displacement engine, you do not find any torque in the lower rev range. When I asked if the 400 twin might be used in the Versay the answer was evasive...like they wanted to say 'yes' but could not make an announcement. With that said, I'm not sure that engine would be my choice for crawling through rough terrain because it really needs to spin in order to have the torque required. On the highway the 400 was fantastic.
