2026 Kawasaki Versys 1100: Kawasaki has officially unveiled the 2026 Versys 1100S and Versys 1100 SE, giving its popular sport-touring motorcycle a fresh visual update. While the mechanical package remains unchanged, the latest models now feature two bold new paint schemes, adding a sharper edge to their long-distance touring appeal.
New Paint Options
For 2026, Kawasaki introduces Metallic Deep Blue with Metallic Diablo Black and Emerald Blazed Green with Metallic Diablo Black. These striking finishes are reserved exclusively for the higher-spec S and SE variants, meaning the standard Versys 1100 misses out on the new shades.
Kawasaki Engine and Performance
Power continues to come from the tried-and-tested 1,099cc parallel-twin engine, producing 133bhp. The bike retains its well-rounded performance credentials, blending high-speed touring comfort with capable handling.

Features and Technology
The Versys 1100 range carries over its feature-packed equipment list, including:
- Bi-directional quickshifter for smoother gear changes
- Cruise control for effortless highway riding
- Smartphone connectivity with voice command support
- Showa electronic suspension on the SE variant for adjustable ride comfort
