TopSpeed argues that Kawasaki's most complete motorcycle isn't the 190-hp Ninja ZX-10R but the Versys 1100 SE LT, a 1,099cc inline-four making 133 hp. Priced from $19,499 in the US, it packs 28 liters of quick-release hard luggage and a TFT dash, making it a genuine one-bike-garage option.

Looking at the spec sheet, the Versys 1100 SE LT's balance is great — 1,099cc inline-four, 133 hp, 82.5 lb-ft of torque. The ZX-10R's 190 hp gets my pulse up for sure, but people flag some low-rev fueling glitchiness. Compared with the old model, that 28-liter quick-release luggage is honestly irresistible.
