Using the same engine in multiple motorcycle models makes good economic sense. The 649cc parallel twin that debuted in the Kawasaki Ninja 650 found its way into the Versys 650 (read our review of the 2015 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT) and the new Vulcan S cruiser. Likewise, the 1,043cc in-line four in Kawasaki’s Z1000 and Ninja 1000 powers the new Versys 1000 LT, a street-focused adventure tourer that makes its U.S. debut for 2015. In previous tests, we praised the liter-plus engine for its smooth, generous power, maxing out at 127 horsepower and 76 lb-ft of torque on Jett Tuning’s dyno, and it suits the Versys 1000 to a T, with spot-on throttle response and torque as broad as the horizon.
