- Kawasaki's Versys 1000 SE arrives in Australia in 2019 with an updated version that boasts a whole host of standard features including electronic suspension and a full electronics package.
There's Ride Modes linked to KTRC, KECS, KABS and Power Modes, as well as a fully customisable Rider mode. A bi-directional quickshifter (KQS) is standard fitment, as is Cruise Control, and an adjustable screen. Hand guards are also stock, while there's plenty of optional accessories, such as the panniers and top box as tested, plus crash protection, heated grips and more.
Here's our thoughts on the 2019 model. You'll be able to find a full written review report at :

Good review mate!
What is your inseam? It appears to be a 33" since you can flat foot the bike.
What will be a good price for a 19 se mod with 13000k km on it in Australia?
Loving the new tech colour screen next to an old analog rev counter. I actually don’t mind the looks. Just the weight is probably enough to look elsewhere.
Does the bike have to be stopped to change the suspension settings?
NO, just have to wind off the throttle and press button for a couple seconds.
How was the wind protection? Does the windshield work?

The technology on bikes these days is amazing! I just wonder sometimes if some of the rider aids or "safety" features could prove to be a distraction? Seems to me it would be easy to run of the road while fiddling with the modes etc. That said it looks a great bike and I enjoyed your review.
Definitely a risk if you're easily distracted and trying to do things on the move, but it's the kind of system that doesn't really require constant changes of modes or settings, which is a plus.
All these extras and technology. Yet no convenient electric screen? Even a 15 year old Pan European has that.
Top box looks the same as my Givi, probably cheaper as a Givi.
I like them but the stock seat is hard as a rock. Literally. I wouldn't last 50 miles on it. That's a big turn off for me. I don't wanna have to buy a seat just to make it ridable for longer than 30 mins
257kg 120 hp 100 nm , way under powered compared to it competitors. Only reason why I wouldn’t buy it
Should try riding one if you get a chance, peak power and torque specs aren't all that insightful on paper and while it is down it's mainly missing that extra top end that most people would be lucky to use, just comes down to the rider of course. Weight could definitely be slimmed down or optimised for a better CoG for really low speeds and tight maneuvers. It's probably a bit more on the touring side of sports-touring, where something like an S 1000 XR is more towards sport.
BikeReview.com.au thanks, I have an Xr but love the reliability of Japanese bikes 🏍
Mine will power wheelie in 2nd (no clutch)...its got plenty of power.
