Kawasaki Versys 1100 Engine and Performance
The heart of the 2025 Versys 1100 is its newly enhanced 1099 cc engine. This liquid-cooled, inline 4-cylinder, DOHC unit is designed to deliver a perfect balance of power and torque. With reworked intake ports and a modified throttle body, the engine now achieves an impressive 133 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 7,600 rpm. The introduction of a heavier flywheel and secondary balancer helps to reduce vibration and enhance rideability, making it a joy to ride on both highways and city streets. Additionally, the inclusion of an oil cooler ensures optimal engine temperature during long rides.
