King of the streets

A bike that can tame anything from city streets to mountain passes is every rider’s dream. The answer lies in the concept – Versatile System, and the name – Versys. Designed and built to ride the roads you ride, whenever you ride them.

Thumping twin
Narrow and compact for ease of handling, the parallel twin motor is perfect for the Versys. There’s plenty of torque for strong drive across the rev range.

Short exhaust
A short, low-slung silencer helps give the Versys excellent mass centralisation. Once again, handling benefits.

Instruments
It’s all here at a glance through a clever mix of analogue and digital. Check engine revs against road speed easily and quickly. There are warning lights and a digital fuel gauge. It’ll even tell you the time.

Front Brakes
Powerful petal-shaped brake discs are inspired by Kawasaki competition experience.

Front forks
The Versys enjoys the efficiency and adjustability of sports bike-style upsidedown forks. They’ll easily cope with anything from smooth tarmac to pitted mountain roads.

Side-mounted shock
By placing the shock absorber on the side of the chassis rather than in the middle, the Versys stays slim to guarantee rider and pillion comfort.

Swingarm
Kawasaki’s competition heritage shows again in a swingarm designed for total feedback and maximum handling confidence.
