Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Versys 1100 2025

There is probably not a single owner of a Kawasaki Versys 1100 who is not satisfied with its riding characteristics. It simply rides well. On the other hand, I have never heard anyone say: "The Versys looks really cool!" Even owners just say "Well, it's not that ugly". Anyone who is above that will be happy with the Versys - a really good bike.

Surprisingly dynamic and agile riding performance

Excellent wind protection

Easy handling even at low speeds

Good power delivery from the four-cylinder engine

Very good price-performance ratio

Excellent cornering behaviour

High seating, aerodynamic and riding comfort

Unspectacular appearance that does not convey any dynamics

Only manually adjustable windscreen

Complicated operating concept

Kawasaki Versys 1100 SE 2025

With the new Versys 1100 SE, Kawasaki has certainly managed to ram a stick into the touring floor. With its solid engine and well-functioning systems, the green brand definitely manages to counter the price/performance ratio. With a high level of riding comfort, the new Versys 1100 SE is sure to expand its fan base and more than live up to the eternal slogan "Let the good times roll".

Good riding performance even with panniers

Good ergonomics

Good wind protection

Simple operation

USB-C socket very large and prominently and wobbly mounted Heated grip switch a little wobbly
