2026 Kawasaki Versys 1100 ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Kawasaki's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2026 Kawasaki Versys 1100 ABS features a 1099 cc engine configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 59.0 mm with a 11.8:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Versys 1100 ABS measures 233 kg (514 lbs) dry. 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. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 375 km (233 miles) between fill-ups.
