Kawasaki launches 2025 Versys 1100: Larger engine, more power and better torque distribution

Kawasaki has launched in Europe the new 2025 Versys 1100, its 1100cc touring adventure bike, which comes with a larger, more powerful engine and better torque distribution.

The Versys engine has gone from the previous model’s 1043cc to 1099cc, with a 3mm adjustment to the piston stroke, which has become longer. This has increased maximum power from 120 hp to 135 hp.

With some specific adjustments, torque distribution has improved, especially in the mid and high rpm range (4,000 to 7,000 rpm) and also at low rpm.

With these changes and to keep the temperature under control, an oil cooler has been added, which works together with liquid cooling.

Finally, the 2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 hits stores in 3 versions: Versys 1100 (in Gray/Black), Versys 1100 S (Gray/Black and White/Black), and Versys 1100 SE (Gray/Black and White/Black).

For now, there is no information on when this new model will arrive in other markets.
