Vehicle Information
Kawasaki Versys 1000 Motorcycle - Street (2015-2024)
The Kawasaki Versys 1000, a prominent sport-touring motorcycle, has been a staple in its category from 2015 to 2024. Powered by a consistent 1043cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve inline-four engine, derived from the Z1000, it's tuned for flexible power delivery and strong low-to-mid-range torque, ideal for touring. Horsepower typically ranges from 116 to 120 hp, with torque around 102 Nm. While the core engine remained consistent, the Versys 1000 evolved significantly through mid-cycle updates and a diversification of trims. Key updates include a major facelift in 2015, adding a slipper clutch, ABS, KTRC, and power modes. A substantial refresh in 2019 introduced electronic throttle valves, cruise control, updated LED bodywork, and an IMU-based electronics suite on higher trims, integrating KCMF, KIBS, and KTRC. The 2019 update also brought the Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) and TFT instrumentation to premium models. Further enhancements in 2021 saw the SE model receive Showa Skyhook EERA semi-active suspension, with trim restructuring in 2022 to offer a broader range from standard to SE models. FAQ:
