Motorcycle specifications KawasakiVERSYS 1000 Grand Tourer 2012 The luggage barks, and the Versys passes by
presentation of the VERSYS 1000 Grand Tourer 2012
the difference in performance between the big road trailers and the thoroughbred cruisers has become so minute that these road-going liners are becoming less and less attractive. With the exception of BMW, which excels in this field, the genre is slowly losing ground on the market. Especially when asphalt adventurers are equipped with all the necessary luggage, such as this Grand Tourer version of the 1000 Versys.
the Z 1000 has brought out the best in the big Versys, giving us a big, flexible and powerful 4-cylinder in a very strong frame. This trail bike adds big suspension for comfort, an upright riding position, and the accessories on this Grand Tourer version will take you from city to peninsula. With side panniers and a top case matching the overall color, you have 117 liters of capacity (divided into 2 x 35 + 47 L). A tank protector calms the zippers. Fingers will appreciate the hand guards, and your nerves will be able to relax with the ABS and traction control assistants. Thus equipped, the Versys 1000 Grand Tourer fits right in between the Z 1000 SX Tourer and the 1400 GTR Grand Tourer.
