Kawasaki Launches 2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 In India

Kawasaki recently launched the 2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 adventure tourer in India. The motorcycle is available in the Indian market for a price of Rs 10.89 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2020 Versys carries the same price-tag of that of the earlier version. So, there is no need to pay any premium for the new model over the outgoing one.

The exterior of the new bike has no change. The earlier Versys 1000 had Pearl Stardust While color scheme. However, the 2020 version offers a new Candy Lime Green color. However, aesthetically, the bike remains unchanged.

Engine & Power

Furthermore, the 2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 gets power from the same 1043cc, inline four-cylinder engine. This engine delivers power and torque outputs of 118hp and 102Nm respectively. The motorcycle has a six-speed gearbox. Also, the bike gets a slipper clutch which reduces the effects of engine braking during aggressive downshifts.

Features:

Moreover, 2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 offers a comprehensive electronics package.  It includes cornering ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), Kawasaki traction control with three modes and Bosch five-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). In addition, it features two power modes and cruise control to help while touring. The bookings are open at the company's dealerships across India should you wish to buy one.

Furthermore, the 2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 has an upright riding position that suits the long-distance riding. While the Versys 1000 is built for off-road use, Kawasaki claims that it also offers good performance while cornering. Kawasaki Versys 1000 will take on the Honda Africa Twin, Triumph Tiger 800 XR, BMW 750 GS and the Ducati Multistrada 950.
