Rumors are swirling that Kawasaki is gearing up to give the Versys 1000 a significant upgrade for 2025. The popular litre-class touring motorcycle is expected to get a larger 1100cc engine, promising enhanced performance and power.
According to a report, Kawasaki has filed for homologation in Australia under the model code KLZ1100B, hinting at the arrival of the Versys 1100S. This mid-level ‘S’ variant suggests a new lineup structure, with the entry-level model likely carrying the 1000 suffix and the top-tier one retaining the SE designation.
The Versys 1000 has seen minimal updates over the years, but the introduction of an 1100cc inline four-cylinder engine could bring a welcomed boost in power and torque. While details on the feature list are still scarce, enthusiasts can expect some fresh styling updates to accompany the mechanical changes.
If you’re a fan of Kawasaki’s adventure-touring lineup, keep an eye out for more details on the Versys 1100 – it could be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
