Kawasaki confirms Versys 1100 and Ninja 1100SX for 2027

Kawasaki has confirmed the continued production of the Versys 1100 for its 2027 lineup. The motorcycle features a 1,099 cc four-cylinder engine producing 135 hp and is designed for versatility and long-distance comfort. The 2027 range will include Standard, S, and SE models, with additional “Edition” versions available through Kawasaki accessories.

Technical specifications include a Bosch IMU for rider aids such as traction control and power mode selection, LED cornering lights, and cruise control with a bidirectional quickshifter. The model is built to accommodate various road conditions using long-travel suspension and 17-inch wheels.

In addition to the Versys 1100, Kawasaki is updating the Ninja 1100SX for 2027. While the mechanical specifications remain largely unchanged, both the Versys and Ninja models will feature updated color schemes and graphics. The Ninja 1100SX SE will see a shift from its previous blue metallic style to a new white pearl and black colorway.
