The India-spec Kawasaki Versys 1000 will be available in a single dual-tone paint scheme of Pearl Metallic White/ Metallic Flat Spark Black.
The 2019 Versys 1000 comes with a few cosmetic updates over the previous model. The front end of the ADV is now much sharper, inspired by its latest-generation Ninja siblings.

Thoughts On The 2019 Kawasaki Versys 1000
The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is the range-topping model in the series, placed above the Versys X-300 and the Versys 650. The 2019 Kawasaki Versys 1000 is imported into the country as a CKD kit and assembled locally. The litre-class adventure-tourer offering from Kawasaki takes on the likes of the Ducati Multistrada 950 in India.
