Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a confident, capable machine rather than a first bike.
Purpose	Built primarily for sport touring, blending long-distance comfort with genuine four-cylinder performance and sporty handling reserves.
Rider Fit	A substantial 250 kg machine with a moderate 845 mm seat height, manageable for most average-to-tall riders but noticeable at low speed for shorter riders.
Character	A refined, torquey in-line four with strong midrange power, planted high-speed stability, and an adjustable suspension setup that rewards a smooth, confident riding style.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for true off-road use, novice riders intimidated by weight and power, or anyone seeking a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Kawasaki Versys 1000 Tourer Plus, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
