Engineered by Kawasaki for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2026 Kawasaki Versys 1100 Se Lt ABS pairs a 1099 cc engine architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 112 Nm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed, return gearbox and chain final drive. 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 Se Lt ABS measures 259 kg (571 lbs) wet (curb). 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 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
