Best For	Suited to riders with at least some prior experience on bigger, torquey machines, though the electronics make it approachable for confident intermediates too.
Purpose	Built for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sport-bike engine performance with all-day touring practicality.
Rider Fit	A tallish, fairly heavy adventure-tourer that favors riders of average to above-average height and strength, especially when loaded with luggage and a passenger.
Character	A refined, electronically-sophisticated sport tourer that rewards a smooth, confident riding style and enjoys sweeping roads more than tight urban gymkhana.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for true off-road riders or shorter, lighter riders seeking a compact, lightweight commuter.

At 841mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2020 Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE LT Plus, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.
