At EICMA 2026, Kawasaki presented developments in two important segments of its range: long-distance touring and adventure riding. ABC Mundial spoke with Giorgio Giovanni Locatelli Sala, Marketing Coordinator at Kawasaki Motors Europe, about the Versys 900 and KLE650.

The Versys 900 is powered by a 948cc inline four-cylinder engine producing 122 hp and 97.3 Nm of torque. Its technology package includes an inertial measurement unit, rider-assistance systems and a five-inch TFT display.

The electronic assistance features discussed include cornering ABS and traction control, as well as advanced functions such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and blind-spot monitoring, depending on the equipment configuration.

The KLE650, meanwhile, is aimed at riders looking for a middleweight adventure motorcycle. Its 649cc parallel-twin engine produces 70 hp and 64 Nm of torque. The 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels are designed to provide versatility on and off the road.

With these models, Kawasaki strengthens a portfolio intended to meet different touring styles and riding experiences.
