Adjustable Windshield

Electronic Cruise Control
The electronic cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button. It reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.
All-LED Lighting
From the twin headlamps and compact LED turn signals to the LED taillight and LED licence plate lamp, the Versys 1100 offers an all-LED lighting package.
Clean-Mount Pannier System
The mounting system for the accessory panniers allows them to be attached and removed very simply for increased convenience. The clean-mount system’s clutter-free design ensures the rear of the bike looks good with the panniers removed.
High-Class Instrumentation
Instrumentation with an advanced, high-tech design gives the Versys 1100 cockpit a very high-class appearance. The analogue-style tachometer is complemented by a full digital LCD screen.
Upright Riding Position
Spacious, upright riding position offers a high level of machine control in various conditions while contributing to rider comfort.
Emotional, Well-Integrated Design
The Versys 1100’s emotional design beckons the rider invitingly. The flowing styling features a clear line of colour traceable from the front of the bike to the rear. A balanced use of colour and materials emphasises the functional beauty of the bike’s individual parts and the sculpted bodywork shaped with rider comfort in mind.
Comfortable Seating
Both rider and passenger seats offer thick urethane cushioning to provide the comfort to enable long hours in the saddle.
Fun to Ride: Versatile Performance for a Wide Range of Riding Situations
Both the Versys 1100’s engine and chassis were designed to maximise rider enjoyment on the street. Whether in town, exploring backroads or heading for the horizon, its In-Line Four engine delivers a rewarding surge of acceleration with every twist of the throttle—even more so with its increased displacement. The increase in engine performance is paired with excellent chassis balance and long-travel suspension settings enabling superb control and feedback while offering a high level of rider confidence in numerous street riding situations.
Sporty Design with Excellent Wind Protection
The Versys 1100’s bodywork has flowing lines that lend a sporty look while offering both rider and passenger excellent wind protection, contributing to long-distance ride comfort.
Handlebar-Mounted USB-C Outlet
A USB Type-C socket mounted on the left handlebar offers riders a convenient power source.
Excellent Fuel Consumption
Complementing its 21-litre fuel-tank, advanced ECU programming contributes to the Versys 1100’s high fuel efficiency.
In-Line Four Engine with Added Power
An increase in displacement from 1,043 cm3 to 1,099 cm3 gives the Versys 1100’s engine a boost in power from 120 PS to 135 PS. The more robust mid-range and increased high-rpm power contribute to increased comfort when cruising on the highway, facilitating long-distance touring. The climb from low through high rpm is even more exhilarating, while superb throttle response, strong torque at all rpm, and a seductive intake howl further contribute to riding excitement.
Long-Travel Suspension + Sporty 17” Wheels = Ride Comfort on a Variety of Streets/Conditions
The long-travel suspension’s ability to cope with less-than-perfect street conditions allows the Versys 1100 to remain composed on many kinds of roads. Lightweight 17” wheels front and rear contribute to quick, sporty handling.
Touring Comfort and Performance to Ride Long and Far
Not only is the Versys 1100 exciting to ride, but it also offers the comfort and carrying capacity to allow riders to ride long and far. A highly comfortable seat and good wind protection complement the relaxed riding position, making it easier to spend a long time in the saddle. Passenger comfort is also superb, making it easy to share the fun. Long-travel suspension capably handles a wide range of road conditions, adding to rider confidence, while on the SE model, electronic suspension with Skyhook Technology further contributes to ride comfort for both rider and passenger. A high payload can accommodate panniers and a top case simultaneously, and numerous accessories add to comfort and convenience – especially welcome on multi-day trips.
