Positioned in Kawasaki Versys 1000 2019's motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Kawasaki Versys 1000 2019 2019 Kawasaki Versys 1000 features a purpose-built liquid-cooled engine configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 102 Nm (75.2 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 56.0 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 10.3:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
