Kawasaki Versys 1000 2016

La Kawasaki Versys 1000 n'est pas un modèle entièrement nouveau - même si son design en donne l'impression. Son look a été très habilement adapté à la ligne agressive actuelle de Kawasaki, avec deux phares pointus et de nombreuses arêtes à l'avant. Sur le plan technique en revanche, elle a été améliorée avec précaution - mais de manière tout à fait judicieuse. Deux chevaux supplémentaires font passer la puissance à 120 ch, qui se laissent parfaitement conduire grâce à la magnifique caractéristique du quatre cylindres en ligne. Le châssis correspond aux exigences sportives d'une Kawasaki, l'ergonomie et la position de conduite confortable permettent néanmoins de voyager loin - comme le prévoit le cahier des charges d'une grande enduro. Avec des accessoires judicieux comme un set de valises, un top-case, des poignées chauffantes et des phares supplémentaires, la Versys 1000 se transforme en une touriste sérieuse sur de longues distances - le prix de base relativement bas rend ces gadgets tout à fait abordables.
