An increase in displacement from 1,043 cm3 to 1,099 cm3 gives the Versys 1100’s engine a boost in power from 120 PS to 135 PS. The more robust mid-range and increased high-rpm power contribute to increased comfort when cruising on the highway, facilitating long-distance touring. The climb from low through high rpm is even more exhilarating, while superb throttle response, strong torque at all rpm, and a seductive intake howl further contribute to riding excitement.

Whether in town, exploring backroads or heading for the horizon, its In-Line Four engine delivers a rewarding surge of acceleration with every twist of the throttle—even more so with its increased displacement. The increase in engine performance is paired with excellent chassis balance and long-travel suspension settings enabling superb control and feedback while offering a high level of rider confidence in numerous street riding situations.

Grip heaters keep riders’ hands warm in cold weather, while hand covers offer increased wind protection, further contributing to comfort.
The mounting system for the accessory panniers allows them to be attached and removed very simply for increased convenience. The clean-mount system’s clutter-free design ensures the rear of the bike looks good with the panniers removed.
The long-travel suspension’s ability to cope with less-than-perfect street conditions allows the Versys 1100 to remain composed on many kinds of roads. Lightweight 17” wheels front and rear contribute to quick, sporty handling.
