2021 Kawasaki Versys 1000 S and SE | Unveil and Product Review |

[@mistery00t29]

If this bike had shaft drive,it would be just perfect bike! Even if cost a bit more to have shaft drive,it would be the best bike on the market! Looks amazing!

[@JDeezle21]

I like the way this was presented. Can you do this more often. It’s informative and you get to actually see some of the faces and voices behind the scene.

[@ismailnyeyusof3520]

I own a 2014 model of the bike so I am missing a lot of the advanced electronics but I still have the same gorgeous engine. The bike is really well balanced and, with that engine, a pleasure to ride. I can’t wait for the many travel restrictions to be lifted in a few months to hit the highways.

[@stupidshaitan215]

Great TFT display plus Analog Meter combo best in class I think Its Going to be best for Tourers Around the world

I have a Versys x300 right now. Best bike I've ever owned. Looking to upgrade to a 1000 sometime in the future. This video got me all excited.

[@movem1]

Just awesome. Had 1000sx and motor was epic. What a time to be a rider 👍

[@felipe-nt-d]

Those Versys are awesome. Well done, Kawasaki.

[@Nceb]

This is my first kawasaki motorcycle, 2019 Versys 1000 SE LT+, and it's an amazing motorcycle. Very, very comfortable and the ergonomics are spot on. Best part is the quick shifter for up and down shifts.

[@kyleturner6829]

Looks really great! I'm still holding out on this (grand tourer) for a shaft drive, heated seat, hydraulic clutch and hill stop assist. Then I will definately buy it.

[@Charberlain]

I thought that this was very well presented and explained the differences very well, thank you!

[@rowdychaithanya7217]

My honest opinion on this machine... This is really an incredible machine. Why means it gives ton of features. After watching the complete video it's absolutely better than Triumph tiger 850 sport. If anyone have doubt about which one you choose for a adventure tourer. No more options just go for kawasaki versys 1000 it's an absolutely incredible machine. One thing : Chaithanya I'm from india. Thank you 😊, have a good day 👍🏻

[@MultiGoulash]

Love this bike, been riding the Versys 1000 since 2013. Awesome bit of kit for continental touring. Have a Mk 3 atm, simply best bike ever for me :) Might consider an S model when i change in a couple of years

[@agentplays6773]

I hope I could buy this someday! It's my dream bike

[@lucilleashton4572]

It is mine as well!

Great New update, the meters like all other things in the bike are awesome.

Where IS the most anticipated bike in the world since 2018 - the KLR/KLX 650/700. Come on Kawie, you have to have a reply to the KTM 690 and the Yamaha Ténéré 700. High expectations from you, please don't let us down on 23 Nov.

Way to go Kawa. You just spoiled the rest of the year for me. Though it could not get worse. Not much hope for later this month if this is your best first show of brilliance. If you don't bring out the KLR follow up and Zx10r update I am officially going blue😭

[@ralphwarom2514]

I really like this presentation., basic, step by step over every element a tourer would care about. Can't wait for what is coming in November.

[@BlazinBlades]

For 2022 please give us the Versys 1000 we are all waiting for: Tubeless spoked wheels 19” front. More ground clearance. The Ninja 1000 SX unrestricted motor. This is what we are all hoping for! Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[@piet8136]

Voor een groot deel opgenomen bij ons, GIA Trade and Exhibition Center in Den Haag. Leuk om dit terug te zien en te weten hoe de opname gegaan is.

[@storysofar7426]

A lot of comments below saying if it only had shaft drive! my understanding is that a shaft drive is a much lower maintenance type drive( compared to a chain drive )... I get it... but a chain drive is lower-priced ( at least up front ), lighter in weight, and gives more direct power/torque to the rear wheel... I would rather have the power ( and the weight savings )... I think when anyone is considering riding / owning a motorcycle, you have to also consider the maintenance/upkeep of the bike... and unless you have a considerable amount of disposable income, you need to do the work/maintenance yourself...plus taking a bike in for any service usually is going to require a lot more downtime for the bike... anyway, my 2 cents...I am happy to do a lot of my own maintenance myself including the chain cleaning / lubing / changing... and also, I feel better about doing maintenance myself because I know exactly what was done and HOW WELL it was done... and the next best thing to riding my bike is the cleaning and maintaining my bike...

[@sappapiff4208]

That’s real nice I love the features on it

[@Alaskassos]

Can't wait to see the rest of the 2021 new models. Seems like it is time to find the best dealership in town 😁✌️

This was your highly expected Model Presentation?? Oh dear

[@svendura1]

Biggest disappointment, ever. And for this I left from work early? I thought there would be seven new bikes, three of them with spoked wheels. What a lamer the new Versys is.

[@Cornel1001]

Is a very nice bike !

[@B.Inem_]

KAWA FOREVER!

[@EliteBossSlayer]

even though they disappoint alot in the model but you have to give them credit for making all motorbikes have quickshifter and auto blip. Even the ZX 25R has it and you don't pay a lot for it. which is a good damn deal

[@aziziadnan9660]

Nice kawi workshirt !

[@PKN44]

Quick suggestion: if you want to compete with the likes of GS or S1000XR you have got to upgrade your TFT dash. I am in the market for a touring and just because of the dash cant consider Versys because it's just years behind BMW dash. It's very convenient to be able to control your music and being able to see direction on the same dash or in case of BMW even control standalone navigation unit while riding. Absolutely a deal breaker.

[@unnikrishnankm3105]

When you launch the zx25 R in india

[@ksmha15]

I can't help it to also be disappointed really. I'm looking for a upright bike, allowing me to drive with the the girl on the back with some comfort. Looking for a bike i can add side and top box. The 2021 Versys is delivering but there is no change from the 2019, 2020 SE model really. We need to wait for some reviews on Skyhook but i'm not expecting wonders. Was really hoping for more power, shaft drive, bike loosing some wheight. They call it a adventure sport bike. 120hp on a 257kg bike (without luggage or persons) is now a days just not a lot. Now on a Z1000SX and afraid i'm going to shop for a second hand Ducati Multistrada or something instead. Lets be honest, we are not just driving bikes because they are practical, they also need to deliver on the fun factor. Really a shame this, do like the look but it's not enough for me.

[@storysofar7426]

with all other specs staying the same, adding shaft drive means increasing the weight and lowering power/torque to the rear wheel... I am VERY happy with the chain drive and power...

[@MrPepper312]

Tried to find a new 2018 KLR but can't find one.😪

[@theprodigymotovlog2070]

Imma definitely going for the SE model instead of the "Tenere-looking" 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9.

[@BGDhayabusa]

Versys 1000 SE with 19 wheel front and 140hp from ninja 1000sx and it should be perfect for me

[@peterkrajnc3213]

will the skyhook system also be available for the Versys 1000 SE GT model year 2019 (with electronic damping system)? If not, why? It is only a software update? If this is only reserved for the new models, then I can only say "Shame on you".

Hey Kawasaki, I very much wish for the Kawasaki z1000 (also for the fans) that the Kawasaki z1000-R would get the electronics, the speedometer (like the z900 and ZH2) in 2021! This is exactly how I would make a z1000 and z1000R the chassis soft instead of hard for the road, and upholster the seat a bit softer, I hope you have read through my needs and are thinking about what can be done better for the year 2021. Many Thanks :)

Stuff all really, it a model they don't need and a chronic low volume seller.

[@sofakingcrazy1]

In US were we only get the SE LT+? Dash, suspension, standard bags, standard heated grips, sit up and beg ride position, more suspension travel, more wind coverage, can add a top box, less hp but with slightly more torque slightly lower in rev range. A few other small things, too.

[@baksadai]

Is this bike suitable for short people below 170cm?

[@Nceb]

I'm about 170cm, or 5'10", and I'm on the balls of my feet. They do have a shorter seat, however, it may not be as comfortable for me when riding, because my legs may be more bent. I noticed that if I set the preload to single rider, the height of the bike actually let's itself to the point when I can touch my heels to the ground. If you change the preload to ride+luggage, then the height of the bike rises. Pretty cool technology.

Eine Versys S braucht es nicht. Was die Versys braucht ist bessere Bremsen. Meine schon 2tes mal verzogen, 120 PS( Ducati, BMW, Triumph) sind nicht Zeitgemäß für ein Straßenmotorrad. Besonders nicht wenn man mit der Sozia und Gepäck fährt. Ab 180km/h wird das Motorrad unruhig und Windgeräusche gibt es ohne ende..... Macht was dagegen

[@donaldheine6243]

Well that was disappointing. Seems Kawasaki has their own definition of adventure bike that doesn't include off road riding. Are they blind to what the rest of the industry is doing? An adventure bike has to have at least a 19" front tire minimum. This is a good all around street bike but not by any means is it and adventure bike. This is more of a sport cruiser.

[@malcolmnuttall3165]

Couldn't agree more, it's a useless model,the Ninja 1000 is all they need, build a parallel twin ADV bike with 120 HP, and get in the game, Kawasaki!!

[@mal-wx6tu]

Why they persist with this low selling model is beyond me, just stop it, develop a parallel twin ADV bike with 120 HP and get in the game, your competitors have the market, and you bring this upright Ninja 1000 to the market, you can't Adventure on this thing, it's laughable,( they sit in the back corner at dealerships and are discounted just to sell), just survey owners and make what we want.

I am sorry but Kawasaki has failed miserably with this model and give the japanese bike a bad reputation. So they better start making quality bikes again and stop with the marketing
