presentation of the VERSYS 1000 SE Tourer 2022
The Versys SE has improved comfort, with Skyhook optimization for its pilot-controlled suspension. When you're the standard-bearer of touring in a range, you've got to stay at the cutting edge of enjoyment. But to accomplish this mission, it can happen that the essential and the superfluous are not enough; the useful has just as much a place.
We've been around this Versys 1000 SE twice, ten times, lots of times, and we've always come to the same conclusion. Something seems to be missing for a serene ride.
Breath? No, the 4-cylinder engine derived from the Z 1000 is not lacking (although it's not as powerful as the segment's monsters).
Comfort? Not at all, with semi-active damping, a large windshield, heated grips and cruise control?
Temperament? Modular, with 4 Driving Modes, including the 'Rider', which can be adapted to your own taste.
Safety? With cornering ABS, traction control and the full range of electronics, there's really nothing to worry about.
No, what's lacking is enough space to store all the gear for overnight stays and picnics. That's where the Tourer pack comes in to fill the gap that's been obsessing me since the start of this service. It begins with two 27-liter zipped bags, cut to the shape of the suitcases and anchored to the Versys' original brackets. Each hold holds 28 liters. So, yes, the suitcase interiors take up a bit of space, but they allow you to pack exactly what you need.
When you're traveling, there are plenty of opportunities for your belongings to slip onto the tank. Keys, smartphone, coins, hammer, jacket zipper... Small threats that the self-adhesive gel tank protector will take care of.
If space is ever at a premium, the Versys SE is also available in a Grand Tourer version with a high-capacity top-case.
