2026 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT ABS

The 2026 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT ABS is the Swiss Army knife of the motorcycling world, designed for riders who refuse to be pigeonholed into just one category. At Souhegan Valley Motorsports, we recommend the Versys 650 LT for the New England rider who wants one bike that can do it all: a comfortable commuter during the week, and a fully-equipped long-distance tourer on the weekends. With its upright ergonomics, long-travel suspension, and factory-installed luggage, it is purpose-built to turn a trip through the White Mountains into a first-class experience. 2026 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT ABS The Ultimate Traveler The "LT" Advantage: Ready for the Long Haul The "LT" (Light Tourer) package takes the versatile Versys platform and adds the essential gear you need for life on the road. When you buy the LT model from SVM, youre getting a machine that is touring-ready from day one: 28-Liter Hard Saddlebags: These color-matched KQR (Kawasaki Quick Release) hard bags feature an integrated mounting system that keeps the bike looking clean even when the bags are removed. They are large enough to fit most full-face helmets and use a convenient one-key system. Hand Guards: Standard on the LT, these provide essential wind protection and shield your hands from road debris and the unpredictable New Hampshire weather. Adjustable Windscreen: The updated cowl design features a windscreen with four inches of tool-free adjustment, allowing you to easily find the "sweet spot" to reduce buffeting on highway stretches. Performance & Versatility The Versys 650 is famous for its "any-road" capability, blending sportbike agility with adventure-style comfort: 649cc Parallel-Twin Engine: This liquid-cooled engine is tuned for strong low-to-midrange torque, making it incredibly responsive in city traffic and smooth during high-speed cruising. Long-Travel Suspension: With a 41mm Showa front fork and a side-mounted rear shock with a remote preload adjuster, the Versys soaks up frost heaves and bumpy backroads with ease, providing a plush ride that traditional sportbikes can't match. Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC): Two modes of traction control provide extra security when riding on wet pavement or through the variable conditions often found in the Souhegan Valley. Modern Tech & Ergonomics Full-Color TFT Display: The 4.3-inch digital instrumentation provides a premium look and high-grade visibility, featuring a gear position indicator, fuel gauge, and more. Smartphone Connectivity: Using RIDEOLOGY THE APP, you can link your phone via Bluetooth to monitor vehicle data and receive call/message notifications directly on the dash. Upright Riding Position: The "sit-up" ergonomics provide a commanding view of the road and significantly reduce rider fatigue compared to more aggressive street bikes.
