Wide Array of Rider Support Technology: IMU-Enhanced Electronics Package

The Versys 1100 features a host of rider support technology to add to rider confidence in a wide range of riding situations while helping riders enjoy their machine’s sport riding performance to the fullest.

Smartphone Connectivity with Voice Command

In addition to existing features like the ability to record Ride Logs and share them with friends, the new “RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE” smartphone app now offers the ability for riders to control the app by voice commands*, which in turn allows them adjust motorcycle settings and more orally.

Grip Heaters and Hand Covers

Grip heaters keep riders’ hands warm in cold weather, while hand covers offer increased wind protection, further contributing to comfort.

LED Cornering Lights

Lights built into the shrouds help illuminate the road when cornering. Each of the three lights has a fixed direction and is activated based on lean angle.

Fun to Ride: Versatile Performance for A Wide Range of Riding Situations

Both the Versys 1100’s engine and chassis were designed to maximize rider enjoyment on the street. Whether in town, exploring backroads or heading for the horizon, its In-Line Four engine delivers a rewarding surge of acceleration with every twist of the throttle – even more so with its increased displacement. The increase in engine performance is paired with excellent chassis balance and long-travel suspension settings enabling superb control and feedback, and offering a high level of rider confidence in numerous street riding situations.

Comfortable Seating

Both rider and passenger seats offer thick urethane cushioning to provide the comfort to enable long hours in the saddle.

Clean-Mount Pannier System

The mounting system for the accessory panniers allows them to be attached and removed very simply for increased convenience. The clean-mount system’s clutter-free design ensures the rear of the bike looks good with the panniers removed.

Updated 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 min-1 to 1,500 min-1, giving riders smooth shifts even when in town or doing slower-speed riding for added riding comfort.

Long-Travel Suspension and Sporty 17” Wheels

The long-travel suspension’s ability to cope with less than-perfect street conditions allows the Versys 1100 to remain composed on many kinds of roads. Lightweight 17” wheels front and rear contribute to quick, sporty handling.

Upright Riding Position

Spacious, upright riding position offers a high level of machine control in various conditions while contributing to rider comfort.

Sporty Design with Excellent Wind Protection

The Versys 1100’s bodywork has flowing lines that lend a sporty look while offering both rider and passenger excellent wind protection, contributing to long-distance ride comfort.

In-Line Four Engine with Added Power

An increase in displacement from 1,043 cm3 to 1,099 cm3 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.

Electronic Cruise Control

The electronic cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button. It reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.
