Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to licensed riders with at least some prior experience who want a confidence-inspiring, electronics-assisted big-bore tourer rather than a beginner's first bike.
Purpose	Built primarily for long-distance touring and comfortable road covering with a pillion and luggage, blending sport-touring performance with all-day comfort.
Rider Fit	The 840 mm seat height and 253 kg wet weight are manageable for average-to-taller riders, though shorter riders may find it a stretch at a standstill.
Character	A refined, torquey in-line four with a plush chassis, full electronics suite, and standard hard luggage that rewards smooth, unhurried riding over long distances.
Not Ideal For	Not the ideal choice for riders seeking a lightweight city commuter, an off-road adventure bike, or a razor-sharp track-focused sportbike.

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 Grand Tourer, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.
