A test mule believed to be Kawasaki's new Versys 900 has been spotted in Europe. The 948cc inline-four carried over from the Z900 makes 125 cv at 9,500 rpm and 10.1 kgf·m at 7,700 rpm. It runs 17-inch wheels front and rear, twin 310mm discs with radial calipers and a six-axis IMU, with a reveal expected at EICMA.

Look at the spec sheet and that 125 cv, lifted straight from the Z900's 948cc four, is the number that matters. It puts this above the Tracer 9 and F 900 XR on output. Kawasaki had a hole between the 650 and the 1100, and it is filling it with four cylinders. Expect a remap toward midrange — that's the exciting part.

Been watching since the original Versys 650. It's grown up a lot.

Four-cylinder adventure bikes always get you on tyres and fuel in the end.

The gap between the 650 and the 1100 has been empty forever. Been waiting.

Six-axis IMU and cornering ABS as standard? No complaints. Waiting for EICMA.

125 cv at 9,500 rpm puts it above the Tracer 9. Interesting call.

Calling 125 cv off a spy shot feels early to me.
