Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Kawasaki's Versys 1000 got an update in 2019, with new brake bits, refined ABS system, new adjustable windshield, new centrestand, new seat. Of course, there's also three-level traction control, engine management modes and everything else you need for high-speed, low-drag touring. The price is up $1,200 for 2019, but cruise control is standard now. And, while there's still an electronic throttle valve with a cable to a sensor, this machine uses a throttle position sensor, so it's halfway to being a throttle-by-wire setup.
