Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2020

On long tours, it has sufficient power, offers dynamic handling and high riding comfort. Compared to the competition, you hardly miss the power. Kawasaki should improve on the integration of a Navigatinos app in the display.

Great wind and weather protection
