The most significant innovation in the 2025 four-cylinder Versys concerns the engine: An advanced four-stroke inline-four with a displacement of 1,099 cc (instead of the previous 1,043 cc) provides a notable power increase. With 135 hp compared to the predecessor's 120 hp and a torque of 112 Nm (previously 102 Nm) in the mid to high rpm range, the Versys 1100 offers significantly more power. Particularly noteworthy are the optimizations in the shifting behavior: The improved Kawasaki Quick-Shifter (KQS) now allows clutchless shifting from as low as 1,500 rpm, which further enhances comfort on long tours.

A special innovation is the self-healing paint that can automatically regenerate fine scratches. This technology ensures a consistently well-maintained appearance and gives the Versys 1100 a high-quality finish. Small scratches are repaired within days thanks to a special coating that combines both hard and soft segments – larger damages, however, such as those caused by coins or keys, remain.
