Overview
The Kawasaki Versys 1100 is an adventure motorcycle produced for 2025–2027. For 2027, its 1099 cm³ liquid-cooled inline-four makes 133 hp (99 kW) and 112 Nm of torque at 7600 rpm; wet weight is 257 kg.
At 840 mm, the seat sits high and may make stopping and putting both feet down harder for shorter riders. The 257 kg wet weight can take more effort to manage at low speed, while the KECS-controlled suspension adjusts damping electronically and the rear spring preload is electronically adjustable. The 21 L tank and fuel consumption of 5.60 L/100 km give useful context for fuel stops, and hard saddle bags provide carrying capacity.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Electronically adjustable suspension
KECS controls damping at both ends, and the rear spring preload can also be adjusted electronically to adapt the suspension to changing loads.
Hard saddle bag capacity
The motorcycle can carry hard saddle bags, giving riders enclosed storage for their gear.
Assist and slipper clutch
The slipper function helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
Things to consider
High seat
The 840 mm seat can make it difficult for shorter riders to get both feet securely on the ground.
Substantial wet weight
At 257 kg wet, the Versys can take more effort to maneuver in tight spaces and at walking speed.
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning and adjustment, unlike a shaft drive.
