About this model
About the Kawasaki Versys 1000
The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is a sport-tourer built around the 1,043 cc inline-four engine shared with the Z1000 family. In production since 2012 it produces about 88 kW (120 hp) and is paired with a substantial electronics package: ride modes, traction control, cornering ABS from 2018 and, on the SE, Showa Skyhook semi-active suspension from 2019. The upright riding position, long-travel suspension and 21-litre tank make it well suited to big mileages, while the four-cylinder engine feels smoother than most parallel-twin rivals at motorway speeds.
It targets solo and two-up touring riders who want Z1000 drivetrain refinement with more comfort and weather protection. With factory pannier sets (often part of S or Grand Tourer trims) it works as a full long-distance machine. Direct competitors are the Suzuki V-Strom 1050, Honda NT1100, Yamaha Tracer 9 GT and BMW S 1000 XR; unlike a true adventure bike (e.g. KTM 1290 Super Adventure) the Versys 1000 is firmly tarmac-focused.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the regulator/rectifier; 2012-2014 examples are known for failures and flat batteries.
- Inspect the headers and silencer for corrosion on bikes ridden through Dutch winters.
- Ask when the valve clearances were last checked; first service is at 24,000 km and the fairing strip-down makes it pricey.
- On the SE, confirm the Showa Skyhook semi-active system initialises without TFT errors; repairs are expensive.
- On high-mileage bikes look for oil weeping at the water pump cover and chain-tensioner gasket.
