Kawasaki Versys 1100 2026

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
