Pros Cons of Kawasaki Versys 1000

Pros

  • Plush ride quality
  • Great around corners
  • Powerful inline 4-cylinder motor

Cons

  • Dated design
  • Lacks modern-day electronic aids
  • Not meant for off-roading

Verdict

With no cosmetic changes, the 2022 Kawasaki Versys 1000 continues to sport the same dual-LED headlamps, tall visor, massive fairing and long split seats to maximise comfort. Power comes from the same BS6 compliant 1043 cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops 118 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets an assist and slipper clutch. It is a decent sport touring road-oriented motorcycles.

  • Muscular looks
  • Good performance
  • Good touring and off-road abilities

Cons

  • Heavy
  • Fuelling not great
  • Snatchy power delivery

Verdict

The 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 has a lot of positives which makes it difficult to ignore. The pricing makes it even more appealing and at the very least it definitely deserves a test ride for anyone in the market for a full-size adventure bike. The new Tiger 1200 has arrived after a weight-loss programme making it leaner and meaner. It is a hugely improved adventure bike, which has a lot of capability and versatility to make for a compelling choice in the segment.
