Picked up my first bike yesterday - Kawasaki Versys-X 300. Have already reached 500kms, and loved every single one.

Do you have the space and tools to do a tire swap? The difference is pretty big. If you can, you might want to try dual sport tires. Be careful out there, smooth tires on a trail can be dangerous. Even gravel. Plus, knobbier tires will make the whole experience more fun and you'll be able to deal with slightly rougher terrain overall.
