Versys 1100 SE LT
The Versys 1100 SE LT houses a smooth 1,099cc inline-four — an engine character unique in the adventure category — inside a long-distance touring package with standard panniers, heated grips, and a 6.1-gallon fuel tank. At 562 lb it is heavier than V-twin and parallel-twin ADV rivals, but no twin delivers the turbine-smooth highway cruising that the four-cylinder engine provides.
