However, the new offer also extends itself to the Versys 1100 S and SE models, which both offer a higher spec than the standard Versys 1100.

The 2025 Versys 1100 arrived with manual suspension, an LCD and analogue dash, but no cornering ABS or traction control. On the other hand, the Versys 1100 S received IMU-controlled TC and ABS, as well as a TFT screen that is larger than the LCD display that’s featured on the base model.

The top-spec Versys 1100 SE received the same spec as the S, however, it also gained the inclusion of KESC (Showa Skyhook electronically adjusted and semi-active suspension). Additionally, the S and SE variants both received a quickshifter, heated grips, and hand guards as standard.

In terms of the free touring kit offer, customers will need to buy any of the four models mentioned above by April 30, 2026. 

The free kit will include a set of panniers and inner bags, plus a tank pad and hand guards, if you purchase a 2025 Versys 650. Buying any of the Versys 1100 models means you will get all of the above, and a taller screen.

The Versys 650 makes use of a liquid-cooled parallel twin that delivers 65bhp at 8,500rpm and 45 Ib-ft of torque at 7,000rpm. Meanwhile, the bigger Versys 1100 produces 132bhp at 9,000rpm and 82 Ib-ft of torque at 7,600rpm thanks to its 1,099cc inline-four power unit. 

The Versys 650 and 1100 models are also available with Kawasaki’s K-Options Finance at 8.9 per cent APR Representative.
