Kawasaki Versys 900 Presages A New Age Of The Sport Tourer - Jalopnik

Kawasaki is betting on the sport-touring segment with the new Versys 900, presented as the next major trend as the middleweight adventure-bike segment faces slowing momentum. The model was revealed earlier this week and is positioned as a “more Versys” alternative to bikes like the KLE or the Versys-X. Key details include 17-inch wheels front and rear, an integrated subframe, and hard luggage. Power comes from a 948cc inline-4 engine sourced from the Z900. Kawasaki frames the Versys 900 as a street-focused bike intended to appeal to buyers beyond the Africa Twin-fighting KLE900 crowd.
