2015 Kawasaki Versys® 1000 LT

Introducing the all-new 2015 Versys 1000 LT motorcycle. This adventurous Euro-tourer delivers thrilling in-line four, liter-class power in a fun, smooth-handling package. Enjoy miles upon miles of asphalt, whether twisty, bumpy, or both. With modern, sporty styling, a high-revving, fuel-injected engine, Kawasaki Traction Control, selectable power modes and a racing-inspired assist & slipper clutch for smoother shifting, this spirited motorcycle can take you on an unforgettable trip across state lines. From the Rockies to Appalachia

The seat on the Versys 1000 LT is flat and tapered at the front for an easier reach to the ground. Both the rider and passenger sit upright and handgrips are available for the passenger to promote comfort and security. But the comfortable ride starts with the long-travel suspension, remote preload adjustable rear suspension, and 17-inch wheels, combining for smooth, versatile performance.

The Kawasaki Quick Release (KQR) 28-Liter Hard Saddlebags provide enhanced long-range potential. These color-matched saddlebags can be easily removed and mounted on the side without tools. The optional top case has room to store two full-face helmets, and the side bags can be opened using the same key as the ignition via our One Key System.

• Style And Substance

The redesigned Versys family front end and headlamps are influenced by the distinct style of Kawasaki sportbikes: horizontally arranged to enhance visibility—in the dark or around town. On the reverse side, the sleek dashboard has a well lit, compact digital display that provides information such as fuel range, gear position indicator, rpm, odometer and speedometer. And available accessory fog lamps are useful for increased visibility on mountain roads with early morning fog.

• Muffler End-Cap

The exhaust muffler is equipped with aluminum die-cast end-cap to add a fine-tuned finish to the muffler to complement the bike’s modern yet edgy styling

• Aerodynamic Design

The Versys 1000 LT windscreen offers approximately 2.6 inches of total adjustment to improve comfort, whether cruising on a highway or carving twisty roads. Hand guards offer wind protection while a chin spoiler underneath the headlamps improves front-end feel. The cowling of the Versys 1000 LT was wind-tunnel tested to be superb, both aesthetically and aerodynamically, helping to direct heat away from the rider.
