presentation of the VERSYS 1000 TOURER 2017

The maxi-trailers, whose clan attracts all the attention, have become the SUVs of the motorcycle world. They've retained a certain trail profile, but their passion is no longer for trails or crossing. With the exception of a few rare machines, these imposing motorcycles are content to climb a curb or pave a dusty road when adventure beckons. Their thing is the road. And the Kawasaki 1000 Versys plays right into this niche, with an appreciable dynamic bent. With the Tourer series, it offers little extras so that the crew can go away for an extended weekend.

with this pack, the tank is protected from zippers and imponderable drops (keys, change, telephone, asteroids....) with a set of transparent stickers. Hand protectors limit the effects of cold and bad weather, while enhancing the trail look. Above all, the luggage compartments provide space for all your belongings, plus a bottle of Apremont and a Rebloch' for a picnic. The suitcases each hold 28 liters and open with the ignition key. A set of 2 x 27-liter inner panniers is included to further protect personal belongings. This Tourer pack includes :

- Bag attachment kit
- 2 x 28 L panniers
- One-key pannier lock system
- Saddlebag lids
- Saddlebag stickers
- Pannier interiors
- Hand protector support
- Plastic hand protectors
- Tank protector

now that you've packed your sweater, Bermuda shorts, flip-flops and mittens, all you need to do is get away with the joy of the 120 hp engine, supported by traction control and riding modes. The original Versys 1000 loves to ride dynamically, and its restyling gives it even more sex appeal. If you're looking for more equipment, there are two other versions in the range: the Tourer + with additional lights and a gear indicator, and the Grand Tourer, which adds a top-case, casing protectors and almost half the accessories catalog.

Versys 1000 2016 depuis 6 mois
I bought this Versys 6 months ago after 6 years on a ZZR 1000, and I'm enjoying it even though it weighs a lot. It's torquey, hypersmooth and comfortable, and I love it, but that's probably due to my age, over 60 Rating : 5/5
Chaine de distribution
French patrickseiller Model 2016
At how many km should the timing chain be replaced and at what cost? Rating : 4/5
French patrickseiller
Too bad the transmission is still chain-driven Rating : 4/5
I've been driving it for 2 months now, and it's a real pleasure to drive: pleasant and comfortable, with perfect suspension for my driving style. Without going into competition with the sports cars, it pushes hard and winds up very well in the corners, it doesn't deny its origins. In running-in at 4,000 rpm, I refilled the tank at 367 kilometers, with 2.5 liters left on the bike (21-liter tank), which isn't bad. As for the transmission, I personally prefer a good chain, which costs much less than a cardan shaft, contrary to what people say (puncture-proof), when problems arise and expenses cost you an arm and a leg. One criticism, though, about the first-rate plastics and the non-adjustable seat. With the carbon pot installed, it's a great bike, versatile and powerful Rating : 4/5
Pffff, still no gimbal, it's a real pain. Rating : 3/5
