Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2019

Kawa's solution, conceived in the adventure sector, is an uncompromising all-purpose weapon in the sport-touring sector. The machine's greatest strength: maximum comfort paired with state-of-the-art technology and the right amount of sportiness. The Ride-By-Wire in combination with the KECS and the electronic equipment ensure super responsiveness with maximum touring capability at the same time. The finely adjustable throttle, the smooth clutch and the electronic chassis ensure an almost majestic glide on the road. At the same time, the great seating position with the matching, if not the most beautiful, windshield ensures top aerodynamics - bravo!

Yamaha's sporty all-purpose weapon has been further improved. It is the perfect bike for all those for whom the naked MT-09 is too spartanly designed for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm and better aerodynamics, the 2018 model also largely eliminates the high-speed problems that its predecessor had to contend with. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

Powerful engine

Successful revision of the chassis

Riding pleasure guaranteed

Better stability than the predecessor

Successful revision of the aerodynamics

Comfort gain for pillion passenger

Pillion seat rest system restricts freedom of movement
