Kawasaki Versys 1000

Now with cruise control, and more

For 2019 the big Versys (there’s a 650 you’ve probably forgotten about too) gets electronically controlled throttle valves, which means it can have cruise control. This is good news, because the Versys is supremely comfy and will demolish motorways. It also gets radial calipers, cornering braking, LED headlights, and – on the SE version only – semi-active suspension. The Versys SE also receives several other upgrades including integrated rider modes, quickshifter, easily adjustable screen and cornering lights.
