Kawasaki Versys 1100 2026

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

The NT1100 has the potential to be a big hit in the travel segment. Honda has done its homework brilliantly in many areas. The final consistency on the subject of safety features prevents an even better rating of the tourer. Nevertheless, it is one of the best touring motorbikes I have ever ridden. A little courage for additional equipment variants and more colour could bring the NT 2023 right to the front.

Extensive standard equipment

perfect wind and weather protection

great engine

suitable for long distances

comfortable

Apple Carplay and Android Auto integration

suspension set-up coherent

No IMU
