In-Line Four Engine with Added Power
An increase in displacement from 1,043 cc to 1,099 cc gives the Versys 1100’s engine a boost in power from 120 PS to 135 PS. The more robust mid-range and increased high-rpm power contribute to increased comfort when cruising on the highway, facilitating long-distance touring. The climb from low through high rpm is even more exhilarating, while superb throttle response, strong torque at all rpm, and a seductive intake howl further contribute to riding excitement.

All-day Comfort
A wide handlebar facilitates control, especially for low-speed manoeuvring. Positioned to offer a natural grip, it allows the rider’s elbows to be slightly bent when sitting in a relaxed, upright stance. Low and forward footpeg placements contribute to a spacious riding position.

Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS)
Complementing the Versys 1100's exhilarating engine character, KQS enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and quick and easy deceleration. The improved KQS feature operates in a wider range of rpm, with the minimum changing from 2,500 rpm to 1,500 rpm, giving riders smooth shifts even when in town or doing slower-speed riding for added riding comfort.
Confidence Inspiring
Highly rigid 4-piston, radial-mount, monobloc front brake calipers grip large ø310 mm discs and pair with a radial-pump front master brake cylinder to produce superb feel and potent stopping power.
Long-travel suspension and sporty 17" wheels
Long-travel suspension delivers a smooth ride on imperfect roads, allowing you to ride with confidence on various road conditions. Lightweight 17" wheels front and rear contribute to quick, sporty handling.
