Just got a ‘19 LT+ here in the US to try out. It’s a revelation after having had mid and big ADVs, a cruiser bagger, an MG Norge, a K12LT, and an R12RT. So light and nimble with the sweetest engine and great electronic suspension. Best riding experience of any bike I’ve had. So good.
I love my '15 (bought new in '16) Versys 1000 LT! She has given me ~80k miles, so far. Several 2-week road trips in the US, several 1000+ miles days, all in great comfort and utter reliability.
I got the 2022 SE a few months ago. Still 50/50 on the looks of the bike. I am 5' 10" and just had to get the lower seat as its a heavy bike and I destroyed my ACL last year so just needed to flat foot the bike. The bike itself is so smooth and comfortable. 4 plus hour journeys are a breeze on this. Cracking bike
Another positive with this bike is it´s so easy to ride; it doesn´t feel heavy at all and I find it easier to man-handle than my old V Strom 650......Amazing considering it´s weight.
Great review,I've just traded in my H2SX for a versys 1000s,getting bike on 1st September,looking for more comfort to ease my achey wrists,I'm about the same height as you Alex so the review was excellent as you said it was so comfortable,I had a test ride and really enjoyed the bike,so smooth and comfortable,looking forward to seeing more reviews of the Versys😄
I went the other way traded the Versys 1000GT for a H2SX SE+ the Versys was just bland it needs the same engine as the Z1000SX not a version with 20bhp taken away.
I had the z1000sx before I got my H2SX,z1000sx is more comfortable than the H2SX ,I would even say z1000sx is a better all round bike,but I got caught up in the supercharger hype,had bike for 3 years and I can't put my finger on it but I won't be sad to see it go,you'll get what I'm talking about after owning your H2SX for a few years and to be honest after having 200hp that is too much for the road,I'm looking forward to getting a different style of bike,comfortable ,but still a kawasaki,I also was on my 2nd set of rear wheel bearings,common fault with H2SX,first set was a recall and second set changed when play was found again during bikes first mot, only 9500 miles on bike just now,just something to be aware of on your bike
@@brianeaston3748 I sold my H2SX after 6 months and 3500 miles because as you say too much for the road and too tempting to use the full 200 bhp. Comfort wise it was fine for me I could do 8 hours in the saddle no problem at all my concern and reason it went was for my licence. I currently have a Multistrada V4S it ticks all the boxes fun to ride and great for touring.
I've got the same edition of the 2020 US model (no significant differences), now with some 8,500 miles. (Work left me very little time for riding in 2021.) Your experience fairly well matches my own, except that I find the seat too hard and too low for my 250 pound, 6'4" frame. I'll be installing lowered foot pegs and highway pegs before some long trips next summer. I don't know whether my problems with my hips and knees being cramped are due to differences in body parts or my being 63 years old. Beyond that, however, I'm very pleased with the Versys 1000.
You say that the Quickshifter “can be jerky at town speeds”. Not surprising, since that’s not what it’s designed for! It’s a bit like complaining that a car’s windscreen wipers are squeaky when it’s not raining! Quickshifters came from racing, where they were designed to allow quick up shifts during hard acceleration, and quick down shifts when braking. The concise and easy to understand Kawasaki instruction manual clearly states that the QS “will not work properly below 2500rpm”. Also, up shifts won’t work with the throttle closed, and downshifts only work with a closed throttle. So I’m guessing that you didn’t read the manual. Which I guess is so for most people, many of whom end up with engine/gearbox damage through inappropriate use of Quickshifters. But I would have expected better from a professional reviewer such as yourself. I enjoyed your video, but I do wonder what other misinformation is lurking in your other TH-cam contributions.
only person ever said something about filtering with a bike. and only that shows you are a real world rider .going to test ride one then as long as its good with filtering.i have Tiger GT Pro now and basically almost every part of the bike and any camera or accessories i have on it are coming apart because of vibration.beautiful bike but that vibration its killing it for every day ride 12000 mile in 11 months .subscribe
This is probably going to be my one and only comment on you tube - I watched your clip and enjoyed it because I have a 2017 version with panniers ( I am a very small person 5"8 not even lowered this bike but love it ) and was wondering whether or not to upgrade. I am not quite sure (I cant Justify the expense for me personally ) but you should have mentioned the lights, Old version terrible lights - the new leds look awesome, merged into the panniers OMG. I will upgrade my versys as much as possible to your fantastic version and hopefully will not notice the huge difference with quickshifter, tft screen and other upgrades you mentioned. ill just dream about them. Thank you I hope you enjoy verity for years to come
Recently got a 2015. For long-legged riders the V1K is great when you lower the pegs. More roomy than many bigger sport tourers but lighter and still plenty of power.
Thank you for a wonderful review. I'm 6' 5" and have been really struggling to find a suitable touring bike. The Yamaha Tracer 900 was an option but the big complaint was the positioning of the pillion pegs to the rider pegs with someone with a bigger boot size! Looks like this is the one. Cheers
For a slightly different perspective: I'm 6' 4" and find my 2020 Versys 1000 a bit cramped. I'm hoping lowered foot pegs and highway pegs will help. I may look at building up the hard seat and raising the handlebar as a next step. Beyond that, I may be in the market for a BMW GS Adventure in a couple more years.
The guy who does the bike reviews for revzillas yt channel said his wife told him the versys 1000 was the most comfortable pillion bike she rode even compared to the gold wing and other well known tourers.
Never or seldom mentioned - servicing intervals and typical cost, nighttime light performance, seat to peg distance, residuals how well does this bike standup in the depreciation stakes - I’m guessing not so well because I’ve never seen on the crowded roads of SE England why not?
I was going to get one of these, but for me it was too smooth. So there is no character when having fun without panniers. So I chose an Aprilia Caponord, with its fully automatic suspension. The engine is a similar power but it also has a wonder character & and nice step in power delivery.

I bought a leftover 2019 SE. You're better off skipping the GT version and add the luggage separately. Skip the Kawasaki sliders etc and get SW Motech case guards and aux lighting. Much better than Kawasaki's.
Considering this bike in Canada. However what gets me is that you have available in Europe a GT version with a fully spec'd top case, driving lights, gps mount and such, in Canada the VERSYS 1000 LT SE model offering doesn't include these extras, you have to piece them together at a premium cost. Why not spec it from the factory this way? Not fair.
The top case and driving lights are just Kawasaki-branded Givi items. If you can live without the Kawasaki name on them, you can get the very same items for a bit less. I don't know about the frame sliders (I bought the Kawasaki parts.) I skipped the GPS mount because, without a shade to block sunlight it struck me as fairly useless.
I’ve test ridden the SX Ninja, with which Verity shares an engine and while the engine is super smooth most of the time, between 70 and 80 there’s a buzzy vibration through the seat, that makes it feel like sitting on a wasps nest, quite unpleasant. Does the Versys suffer the same?
@@c4t-tp238 I’ve noticed it on test rides of previous versions of the SX at the same 70mph point. Maybe it’s just me, maybe because I’ve had bikes that are silky smooth at motorway speeds (GTR1400, VFR800 VTEC)

I rode for 4 hours yesterday in 90F heat. First 30 mins was in stop and go highway traffic do to crash. Never noticed it. I do notice it more on cooler days simply because of the difference in the air temp, so it's putting off heat for sure but nothing that is oppressive for the rider.

Try changing the final drive ratio to get the engine into a different rev range at your cruising speed. (Maybe go down a couple of teeth in the rear sprocket?)
@@ashermilThanks. I have had that answer from a few people when talking about the issue. I just wish I could get rid of the vibration as apposed to just moving it to another rev range.
I have had the Versys 1000 and the Tracer 900GT the Yamaha is more fun to ride the Kawasaki is just bland it needs the extra 20bhp the z1000sx that uses the same engine has.
I mostly ride the bike in low power mode with the suspension set on normal or hard when I'm commuting back and forth to work or just running to the store I do that because I try to save on gas I feel there's no point in me burning out the gas for commuting to work or just going to the store on the other days when I just want to ride it then I throw it in sport mode but on days when I'm just running to work or going to the store and I keep it in low power save on some gas so I can use that gas later on on sport mode
For a top-tech model of an EU motorcycle it will take thousands more USD. This is a ton of motorcycle for the money, lacks nothing, and will have the benefit of Japanese reliability.
